MCAT+ Micro Cross Arm Tester

Cross-arm leakage tester for checking insulation integrity on wood-pole overhead line structures from ground level.

Measures leakage across pole-mounted cross arms to identify insulation breakdown on overhead line structures before it becomes a fault.

Designed for linesmen working from the ground on wood-pole networks, where testing every arm by climbing is impractical.
