If you are referring to a megohm meter, it is a test of the insulation properties of such things as electric wiring, motor windings and high power antenna mounts.
We use a "megger" or "meg out" electrical wiring and equipment to see if it is shorted to ground or the frame in any way.
The megger uses much higher voltages to check resistance than a normal Volt-ohm meter.
Minimum resistance is 1 Meg Ohm - Know what a Megger is and what it does

(1) A parallel connection. (2) A resistive element placed across the terminals of an armature to bypass a portion of the current. (3) A flexible electrical conductor designed to conduct current around the mechanical joint between two conductors. (4) The resistive element (Usually of very low resistance) used in parallel with a DC ammeter movement to bypass a calibrated portion of the total circuit current. - Shunt Overloads

The bridle hitch can consist of two,three, or four single hitches (fig. 3-22), used together to form a bridle hitch for hoisting an object
A sling with two legs used to lift a 1,000 pound object will have 500 pounds of the load on each leg when the sling angle is 90 degrees. The load stress on each leg increases as the angle decreases; and if the sling angle was 30 degrees lifting the same 1,000 pound object, the load will be 1,000 pounds on each leg. Try to keep all sling angles greater than 45 degrees; sling angles approaching 30 degrees are considered extremely hazardous and must be avoided at all cost. - Bridal Hitch

Scaffolding should be tied to the structure using
#9 wire or tie-in devices. The first vertical tie
should be at the maximum height of 4 times the
narrowest base dimension. Additional ties are not
to exceed 26' vertically. Maximum horizontal
distance between ties is not to exceed 30'. - Scaffolding, You have 32' of rise, you are using 3x5 scaffolding. Where will the tie off points be ?

Note: We do not use wire smaller than #20 in travelling cables and #24 outside travelers.
Largest wires are feeders to Hoist /Pump motor
We always have 10 % spares
10% of 52 = 5.2
On a calculator Multiply the percent 10 by the number you have and ÷ by 100
10 X 52 ÷ 100 = 5.2 - Pulling Spare Wires (Example) 10% of 52 Wires

Notes:(Pi) π is 3.1416 and 231 Cubic inches to the Gallon
Area:
Remember to ÷ 6" ÷ 2 = 3 to get Radius
Area = π∙ r²
Area = 3.1416 x 3 x 3 = 28.27 inches or 3.146 x 9 = 28.27
Volume
Multiple are times height to solve for Volume
V = A∙H
V = 28.27 x 300 (25" feet x 12" = 300)
V = 8481 Cubic Inches
Since we already know there are 231 cubic inches to the gallon
8481 ÷ 231 = 36.71 Gallons - PSI Formula and Gallons (Example) How much oil to move a 6" jack 25'

Relief Valve :
Must be tested Annually
Its is simply Pressure relief (If car strikes obstruction,Overloaded Car,Car hits stop ring)
If set to light Car may not move!
Check Valve:
It is simply a one way valve permitting oil to flow in one direction
Up Valve:
The most complicated valve in system
Controls Up Start and acceleration to high speed, up slow down, up leveling speed, and up stopping.
Down Valve:
Because the elevator is not running when on the down direction the down valve depends on system pressure.
Bypass and Relief Valve:
Have been combined into one - Valve Operation

SCRs are used in DC door motor control and more commonly in Direct Drives (Replacing DC Generators)
SCR is a three terminal device. It basically acts as an on/off switch by pulsing the gate of the SCR with a positive voltage.
Once an SCR is turned on it remains on, till anode and cathode voltages equalize or the anode and cathode are reversed biased or voltage is removed from the anode and cathode. - SCR's

A Meter with the positive lead on the Anode and the negative lead on the Cathode.
A jumper is placed across the Anode and Gate as well
