A good number on a megger test should be around 2 megohms.
Megger tests are important because the test makes sure that your electrical insulation is safe and operating as intended. Megger tests are performed using a Meg-ohmmeter.

To test a motor, use a megger (megohm meter) to test the insulation of the internal motor windings. Select a voltage to apply to the motor using an output from the megger that is higher that the operating voltage that the motor operates on.

It is the terminal on the megger that the ground cable connect to when testing a device to ground.
On a hand crank megger which is used to test insulation breakdown, use the 300V setting. If the megger does not have that setting use 500V as opposed to 1000V for the test. The output of the megger is a DC voltage.
The megger is used to find insulation resistance in any equipement. It will generate around 10kVA power to test.
A megger test is used to look at the insulation properties of motor windings, electric wiring, high power antenna mounts, and other similar items. The voltages are a lot higher than they are with a normal Volt-ohm meter. You will turn the device off and connect it to a source of power. The circuit breaker being testing should be closed and then disconnect the line-side circuit. Connect the output terminals and turn on the test set. Get the desired current and make any necessary adjustments. Then, you will hit the 'start' button and get your readings.

If a megger test fails you have a short between the two wires or the wire to ground that you are testing. This short circuit has to be repaired before the equipment is placed back into service.
The time duration for a megger test is as long as it takes to turn the handle of the megger about five times. Voltage is generated on the first turn and if there is an insulation breakdown on the device being tested it will show instantaneously. If the megger is an electronic megger hold the generate button down for about three seconds.
