Megging wire results - Electrician Talk Megging motors and conductors can be dangerous Even after a megger has been removed from the circuit the wires may have stored energy Conductors that are isolated from equipment on both ends will act as a capacitor and store the energy the megger put into it If you touch that conductor, the stored energy will get your attention
Megger residential wiring - Electrician Talk A megger is simply a "megohm meter" and it only measures insulation resistance, at higher values than a regular ohm meter Generally a regular DMM operates at 9VDC on the ohm scale A megger will have selectable outputs of 50, 100, 250, 500, or 1000VDC to test insulation to ground or phase to phase as desired, at the proper voltage for the circuit under test It will not pin point the spot of
Hi-Pot Vs Megger Testing - Electrician Talk If you see a fault with the megger, you will see a fault with the hipot The hipot stresses the insulation weak points at higher voltage levels than the megger will I don't think the hi pot will do anything for you except maybe create an unwanted fault flash over Are the motors delta?
megging a motor wired up - Electrician Talk A megger is used to test the integrity of insulation If you are testing a motor circuit wired to a MCC bucket or a VFD; Open the breaker in the bucket or isolated the VFD Always test your Megger first with leads together and leads apart Clamp onto the equipment ground with one lead and one of the T-leads with the other
What are acceptable Megger readings with 1000v testing. . . You normally use 2x the rated voltage for megger testing A 240V motor would be tested at 500V, not 1000V Higher voltages are the province of hi-pot testing, which is normally done to failure when testing samples of a product
Megger - Electrician Talk Megger readings that do not stabilize, but fluctuate are indicative of moisture in or on the conductors and should be investigated Sometimes this reading will continue to climb as the moisture evaporates due to the test voltage When meggering one must be careful with the voltage levels you are trying to prevent future electrical damage to
Megger how to - Electrician Talk In commercial, use it to megger out a new feeder you just pulled in Measure each wire to each of the other wires, and each wire to the metal conduit You want basically infinity readings If you're reusing something like a disconnect or a section of busway, megger each lug or buss tang to each other and to the case of the equipment
Megger or multimeter - Electrician Talk When we need to check Motor, Megger is used, why cant we use mutilmeter continuity to check the motor ??? Why megger is must?? cant Multimeter replace it?? what are the disadvantages of using multimeter for motor checking???
Megging a 3 phase 480 volt motor - Electrician Talk What should the ohms be going from ground to phase on a digital megger? For a good motor should it read around what (400megaohms)? When the motor is bad it should read 0 ohms to ground? Need help clarifying this
What are expected Megger readings? - Electrician Talk You can damage this equipment or at a minimum get false readings Typically start with the lowest voltage your megger has, starting at 50, 100 or 250 VDC will minimize any chance of damaging equipment For trouble shooting single phase, I would megger Line to ground, line too neutral, neutral to ground
