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.
The value of insulation resistance varies according to the type of CT and manufacturer. It is best to check with the manufacturer for acceptable values.

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 done to check the insulation factor of wires or devices. This is to make sure that when the working voltage is applied, a short circuit to ground will not occur due to a problem with the insulation of the device or wire.
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.
