Megger value for single conductor?

It depends on the value of voltage being applied to the wire in normal use. Voltages up to 750 volts can be used on wires reading as low as .5 meg ohms. Engineers like to see 5 meg ohms on conductor readings.


How do you mega ohm a motor 3 phase?

The megger leads are connected in the following manner. Black lead to motor ground terminal or motor frame. The other lead to one of the phase wires. Meg that coil to ground and note the reading. Do the same with the other two motor leads and note the readings. Look at all of the three reading that you have taken. Engineers like the reading to be above 5 meg. Preferred readings about 2 meg. Motor needs looking after below 1 meg.


What is acceptable megger reading for 440volts?

If it is a motor connection that is being tested, engineers like to see it above 5 meg. In reality above 2 meg is fine.


What is the acceptable insulation resistance megger reading of 160 linear feet of 350 MCM copper underground cable phase to phase phase to neutral and phase to ground?

Engineers that I have worked with state in their specifications that all meggered wires must have a reading of 5 Meg ohms or higher. If the reading is lower that this benchmark start checking splices especially if it is an underground installation. Water usually accumulates in underground conduit systems and when the wires are pulled in there is a certain amount of conductor scraping. This starts the downward spiral from infinity. Check termination points close to the exit point of the conduit. A certain amount of evaporation from the conduit condensates on the terminal points.


A 24v dc motor reads 10 meg-ohms between one of the power terminals and the case of the motor what should be the reading?

That sounds quite good since the main winding should be insulated from the case. 10Mohm is a very large resistance it is well within normal range of the motor.
