Iowa Lakes Community College in Estherville, Iowa, U.S., has been awarded a gift in kind collectively totaling US$10,000 from Megger.

Megger, which manufactures instruments used for testing and maintaining transformers, batteries and underground cables, has donated to Iowa Lakes Wind Turbine Energy Program equipment that will give students hands-on experience during training.

Megger's commitment to promoting the education of engineers and to advancing the adoption of renewable energy sources has allowed the company to provide the college with the following instruments: DCM340 clampmeters used for measuring currents in cables without disconnecting them, MIT400 Series insulation resistance and continuity testers, a DLRO10HD dual-power 10-A low-resistance ohmmeter, a wind turbine lightning protection test lead set, and a DET4TCR2 four-terminal earth/ground resistance.
