The voltage source needs to be disconnected prior to carrying out insulation resistance tests.

Disconnect any electronic devices like Variable Frequency Drives, Soft Starters etc. These devices are likely to get damaged if meggar test is done keeping them in circuit.

When carrying out an insulation resistance test on a walloven with mineral insulated metal sheathed heating elements the minimum permitted insulation resistance is?

0.1M ohms


Is 200Mohms an acceptable result when carrying out an insulation resistance live-live test on a shower block?

If you have 200 megohms on an insulation test of a conductor it is more than enough to feel safe about applying a voltage to the conductor with out it shorting to ground.


Does the insulation of wires affect its quality?

yes and no The problem is that the Word "Wire" refers to the both the metal core and the Wire as a conductor and insulation package. Another problem is what you mean by "quality". What definition are you using? The insulation is critical to determining the use and safety of a wire. The resistance of the metal wire is not affected by the insulation, but its ability to dissipate heat while carrying high current is.

What stabilizes a population and its carrying capacity?

Factors such as availability of resources, competition for resources, predation, disease, and environmental conditions can all help stabilize a population and its carrying capacity. These factors work together to regulate population size by balancing birth rates and death rates within the ecosystem. When these factors are in balance, the population is able to stabilize around the carrying capacity of the environment.


Why would never measure resistance in a circuit carrying a current?

If the circuit is carrying current then that means that the load (resistance) is in the circuit. if an ohm meter is connected in the live circuit then there would be some voltage drop at the ohm meter but as the meter has very less resistance, this would damage the instrument.

To prevent the wire from getting short circuited to ground or even to other wires.


Why human body has more resistance than metal?

Human body has more resistance than metal because it has less conductor for carrying electrons.


Why you Removal of lamps from lighting outlet points When carrying out an insulation resistance test on this installation?

I'm not sure exactly what you're asking, but it sounds like you are wanting to test for any potential weak spots in insulation which would allow for stray current to pass through. You would want to set the circuit so that it would be an open circuit, so that if it was truly an open circuit, no current would be flowing through the circuit, where if some breakdown in the insulation allowed for a current flow, then you would be able to detect it.
