I might have added: 'or pressing...' Our 'works' Meggers are P/B (apart from the 250V Series II bridge machine) but my own is a 250-500-1000V switchable hand-cranker.
We also test HV caps on a HV megger, up to 12kV, which has appropriate leakage instrumentation fitted. You are correct about cranking, though - it can become a bit of a handful!
