One meg ohm rule for ir value for equipment.
Figure 3 typical scale on the megger insulation tester.
The megger insulation tester is essentially a high range resistance meter ohmmeter with a built in direct current generator.
The megger insulation tester is a small portable instrument that gives you a direct reading of insulation resistance in ohms or megohms.
Since 80 of electrical maintenance and testing.
If insulation resistance of the cable is found between 1000 and 100 kω km at buried temperature the subject cable should be replaced urgently within a year.
1k v 1 mω minimum 1kv 1 mω 1kv.
Based upon equipment rating.
The first thing to check is the cable testing environment and cable preparation.
Curve a shows test values as measured.
Go no go minimum acceptable insulation resistance value go no go testing is performed on new cable installations to determine if the insulation has been damaged during installation.
Reverse side of card at right is used to record the test data.
Values based on ieee std 43 2013.
B kv is the rated machine terminal to terminal voltage.
As per ie rules 1956.
If during periodical testing insulation resistance of cable is found between 5 and 1 mω km at buried temperature the subject cable should be programmed for replacement.
Curve b shows same values corrected to 20 c see page 22 giving a definite downward trend toward an unsafe condition.
A megger is an ohmmeter that measures resistance in the megohm scale.
Ansi neta mts 2015 table 100 11 insulation resistance test values rotating machinery for one minute at 40 c.
If the cable does not pass if a cable does not pass the test the cable still may be good but additional cable evaluation should be per formed.
The procedure of insulation resistance test or megger test are given below.
At a pressure of 1000 v applied between each live conductor and earth for a period of one minute the insulation resistance of hv installations shall be at least 1 mega ohm or as specified by the bureau of indian standards.
The minimum acceptable insulation resistance value is calculated using the following formula.
A rated line to line voltage for three phase ac machines line to ground voltage for single phase machines and rated direct voltage for dc machines or field windings.
It s also known as an insulation tester.
For good insulation the resistance usually reads in the megohm range.
Megger leads are connected to lv and hv bushing studs to measure insulation resistance ir value in between the lv and hv windings.
Figure 4 typical record of insulation resistance of a mill motor.
First we will disconnect all the line and neutral terminals of the transformer.
