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.
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.
How do you test an electrical motor to see if is electrically faulty?
There is only two test you can do measure on the Ohm scale the resistance at the power connection if there is a reading then it means it's not open but that's not an indication that the motor is Ok, then measure on the MOhm scale between the body of the motor and any of the power connections if there is a reading then the motor have a internal short, the best is to open the motor and inspect it for black spots on the coils your nose is the best test smell it
What is the required resistance in mega ohm when performing megger?
Normally the megger should be selected based on the following criteria. 1.Voltage rating of the megger 2.Range of the megger value 3.Manual - Hand operated analogue type 4.Auto- Digital Megger To measure the insualtion resistance of Motor (LV Motors) Up to 500 V/1000 V Megger is sufficient To measure the insualtion resistance of Motor (HV Motors) Up to 5000 V can be choosen Normaly the range starts from 0.5 to Infinity meg value in the analogue However in digital the based on the least count /range of the instrument we can able to measure the insualtion value.
How do you connect a megger on a three phase wye - wye transformer for testing?
First you would disconnect the HO bushing connection from ground. Then you would megger low-side phase to ground.. Next you would megger high-side phase to ground.. Lastly megger high-side to low-side phase to phase. You would not megger phase to phase on each side because this is a direct connection.
Can you use a 500V megger tester to test a 6.6KV motor?
You can, and you will get a reading if the leakage is within the operating parameters of the megger or there is a dead short in the windings. Most larger voltage motors need higher testing voltages. A hi-pot tester will deliver these higher voltages.
How do you check a motor for a bad winding?
You need a Megger tester. With one lead attached to the winding and the other attached to the motor housing, the Megger sends a high voltage through the winding. The Megger reads the resistance, letting you know if there is a short to ground.
How do you test motor for burn?
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.

What should be the minimum insulation value of a 20 kw 415v phase motor?
415V commonly available wire is 300V or 600V so that would need to be 600V wire to use a megger or a hipot tester (2* operating voltage +1000V) 2000 volt megger or hipot should verify the wiring in this instance 2500v megger will be necessary for 600V wire and wiring devices you also must look and ambient temperature and humidity a test after some operation time can verify this
How do you Check for grounded electric motor?
Megger the body and the earth point. It should be zero

What result should you obtain when you do megger tests for motor?
we will get its insulation resistance value wchich should be greater than 200Mohms
