Question

A megger is exclusively designed for measuring

The correct answer is

Very high resistance

High Resistance Values The defining characteristic of a megger is its ability to measure very high resistance values. Because insulation should ideally have very high resistance, the current flow is very small. A megger is specifically designed to measure very high resistance, primarily insulation resistance, which falls into the very high resistance category (megohms, gigohms).
