Megger
Explanation:
Without more context, I suggest it may refer to an instrument called a 'Megger' (TM), used to test insulation resistance.

'Megger' is derived from 'megohm meter'.

The intrument is so well-known to electrical engineers that the term is often used (incorrectly, of course) as a verb, meaning 'to test the insulation'.
