Proudly Swedish, Programma Electric AB was founded in 1976 and quickly became a world renowned supplier of test equipment and high voltage circuit breakers stationery batteries as well as portable high current applications.
Headquartered in Danderyd, Sweden, the company was acquired by Megger in 2005.
The James G. Biddle Company was Evershed & Vignoles’ master distributor in the USA from 1910 until WWII. The US Navy was the largest single customer for insulation testers important by the Biddle company. With the ongoing bombing of England and the difficulty/danger of sea transport, the Navy came to Mr. Biddle and advised him that they needed a secure source of testers. They said that, unless the Biddle company could start making the units in Philadelphia, they would have to find another source. Evershed & Vignoles then licensed Biddle to manufacture their insulation testers in the USA. Megger insulation testers remained an important part of the war effort at sea. Following WWII, the Biddle company continued as the master distributor for Evershed & Vignoles, but also as a manufacturing company.
Manufacturing insulation testers changed the nature of the James G. Biddle company’s business and led the company into developing and manufacturing order types of electrical test equipment following WWII and continuing today.
Founded in 1951, Multi-Amp came to merge first with Biddle, and then later Megger. Based in Dallas, Texas, the former Multi-Amp facility concentrates on relay test and circuit breaker test equipment for the world’s power industries.
PAX – acquired 2008; innovators of advanced transformer diagnostics
Seeing an opportunity to create a transformer test business based around sweep frequency response analysis, engineers at Programma left to create a new business called Pax Diagnostics. Megger saw an opportunity to share the Pax innovations with more customers through Megger’s distribution network, and so acquired the company in 2008. The great work in terms of research and engineering for the transformer test industry continues at Megger’s Danderyd site in Sweden.
