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.

When checking the high pressure cutout switch with an ohm meter there should be continuity between?
terminals one and two
What reading should you get when you mega between phases on a pump?
The term is 'megger', not 'mega', and the answer is infinity.
How do you find diode IN5408 is usuable?
You need an ohmmeter or multimeter (set in resistance measurement mode). Choose the 1kOhm range. Connect the meter's wires (red & black) each to the diode's terminals, then switch the terminals. In one case you should see a meter reading that is substantially lower than the other. If that is not the case (both read high or both read low), the diode is probably faulty.
What does 200WV 470uF mean on a capacitor?
200WV is the working voltage of the capacitor. This is the value that should not be exceeded between the two terminals. 470uF is the capacitive rating of the capacitor. It means 470 micro Farads, or 0.47 Farads.
What is the possible cause if three phase motor has imbalanced current on winding?
It sounds like there may be a partial short in one the the three motor windings. What should be done it to megger the motor. This will tell you if all three winding are not shorting to each other and not shorting or partial shorting to ground. If the reading is over 2 megohms to infinity then the motor is all right. Below .5 megohms (500000 ohms) the motor should be cautiously used and will probably have to go in for a rewind. If the burning is in the motors junction box then the burning could be caused by loose conections between the feeder wires and the motor winding leads.
Should you get a reading between the herm and fan terminals on a dual capacitor?
I would say yes because they share the same common terminal.
What is the number of a megger test to shoot for?
A good number on a megger test should be around 2 megohms.

Connect a voltmeter across the battery terminals without engine running reading should be around 12.8 With engine running reading should be 13.8-14.2 if you are getting these numbers alternator is charging battery
Why should you keep the oil terminals?
Oil terminals? What is an oil terminal?
What is allowable resistance of the cable in mergers test?
A good number on a megger test should be around 2 megohms.
Is there a standard and safe range for insulation resistance of motors or it's dependent on type of motorsif 30 Mohm is safe for a motor with 1000 Mohm of insulation resistance in normal conditions?
"INSULATION resistance is not about standard nd safe range because resistance value depend upon the application for which we are providing it in what range the current flows." The answer above is incorrect. Application and current rating & range have nothing to do with insulation resistance. There are standards available for insulation resistance testing both in terms of the test procedure and the values. IEEE Standard 43 provides a basis for insulation resistance testing. Both NETA ATS (Acceptance Testing Specification) and NFPA 70B gives criteria for insulation resistance testing. Insulation Resistance (IR) testing, also known by the slang terms meggering or megging, is a procedure where the quality of the electrical insulation is evaluated to determine if it is acceptable for service. It is also used to compare against previous measured values to determine if there has been any degradation to the equipment being tested. In this case we are talking about motor insulation. The question deals with two comparative readings and wants to know if the value of 30 megohms is acceptable. First we should clarify the test methods and results. NETA ATS 2007. Section 7.15.1 covers AC induction motors and generators. The testing involved is broken down into those motors 200 hp (150 kw) and less, and those > 200 hp (150 kw). The test voltage value is based upon the voltage rating of the motor's winding and is found in table 100.1: Rating = 250V; Test Voltage = 500 VDC; Minimum Resistance = 25 megohms Rating = 600V; Test Voltage = 1000 VDC; Minimum Resistance = 100 megohms Rating = 1000V; Test Voltage = 1000 VDC; Minimum Resistance = 100 megohms Rating = 2500V; Test Voltage = 1000 VDC; Minimum Resistance = 500 megohms Rating = 5000V; Test Voltage = 2500 VDC; Minimum Resistance = 1000 megohms Rating = 8000V; Test Voltage = 2500 VDC; Minimum Resistance = 2000 megohms Rating = 15000V; Test Voltage = 2500 VDC; Minimum Resistance = 5000 megohms Rating = 25000V; Test Voltage = 5000 VDC; Minimum Resistance = 20,000 megohms Rating = 34500V; Test Voltage = 15000 VDC; Minimum Resistance = 100,000 megohms It is important to note that the values given are based on a standard temperature of 40C (or sometimes 20C depending on the engineer's specification). You must correct your readings to a standard temperature as the value on the insulation's resistance is going to vary inversely with temperature. That is as temperature increases the resistance will decrease. The rule of thumb is that the measured value will halve for every 15C above standard and will double for every 15C below standard. As an example let us say that we have a 25 hp induction motor rated 480 VAC. The ambient temperature is 15C. Using our table we would set the tester to 1000 VDC and take a reading for one minute. At the end of the minute we get a reading of 450 megohms. Per NETA ATS Table 100.14 the correction factor is 0.31 so IR = 450 megohms x .031 = 139.5 megohms. The minimum acceptable value is 100 so this motor is acceptable. On the flip side if the motor is in a very warm process area, say 50C, then temperature correction factor is 1.59 thus IR = 450 megohms x 1.59 = 716 megohms. As you can see the temperature makes a very large difference in the results! This discussion up to this point has been about a spot-reading check. However for a true check we want to know the Dielectric Absorption value. There are two different standard tests for Dielectric Absorption. The first is the Dielectric Absorption Ratio (DAR) and the second is the Polarization Index. DAR = Reading @ 60 sec / Reading @ 30 sec. Let us say that the 30 sec reading = 325 megohms and the 60 sec = 450 megohms. Thus: DAR = 450 megohms / 325 megohms = 1.38 The minimum DAR per NETA is 1.4 so this particular motor is borderline at best and should be investigated further. PI = Reading @ 10 min / Reading @ 1 min. Let us say that the 1 min reading = 450 megohms and the 10 min = 1100 megohms. Thus: PI = 1100 megohms / 450 megohms = 2.44 The minimum PI per NETA is 2.0 so in this case the motors is acceptable. One final factor that should be taken into consideration is Relative Humidity (RH). The amount of moisture present in the air also affects the measured test values. The more moisture then the lower the reading. There is no published standard correction factor for RH however when NETA Techs perform these tests then they always record the RH for baseline comparison. The bottom line is that the readings will vary based upon temperature and humidity. A reading on warm humid day may be acceptable whereas the same reading on a cold dry day may not. So the question asked here is unanswerable as there is not enough information given. What were the temperatures at the time of the readings? Was it dry during one and raining during the other? What does the person asking mean by "normal conditions"? I highly recommend that anyone interested in this subject get the free book "A Stitch in Time" by Biddle at: http://www.biddlemegger.com/biddle/Stitch-new.pdf Please note that I also changed the category from Health/pregnancy to Electrical Engineering.
How do you test a tps on a 1990 miata?
The TPS on a 1990 is a WOT switch. Using a multimeter set to read resistance, or a continuity tester, check the resistance between the center and bottom terminals of your TPS with engine off and throttle closed completely. You should read continuity (or zero ohms) between those two terminals, and if you manually open the throttle slightly, the continuity should be lost (resistance goes to infinity). A complete test takes more time; the manual states that with a 0.016" feeler gauge between the throttle lever and the throttle stop screw, you should read continuity, which should go away if you put a 0.027" gauge in there. With the throttle fully open ("WOT"), there should be continuity between the top two terminals of the TPS. In between the idle and WOT positions, there should be no continuity between any of the terminals
When checking the high pressure cutout switch with an ohm meter there should be continuity between?
terminals one and two
On 1985 corvette digital read out is 11.5 with red bar. took voltage reading with motor running got nothing on connector or the two terminals on top the other reading was about 12v at the big one?
Sounds like your only getting battery voltage, the alternator is bad or bad wiring. Should get 13.5-14v when running, measured at the battery terminals
What is the maximum insulation resistance reading on a ring main circuit?
Insulation resistance is measuring the integrity of a conductor's insulation, therefore there is no upper limit as such. Most insulation resistance testers will indicate either >200 (Megohms) or >999 (Megohms) if they reach their maximum measuring capability. What you should be concerned with is the MINIMUM reading permissible: the current edition of BS7671 (17th Edition IEE Wiring Regs) specifies a minimum value of 1 Megohm (1 million ohms) as 'acceptable', but anything lower than 2 Megohms will require further investigation. Some electrical contractors would investigate much higher readings, especially if comparing readings with other circuits that have been tested at the same time, and which have given very high readings.
What potential (voltage) exists between two power supply terminals if 5 joules of energy are required to move 10 coulombs of charge between the two terminals?
Half a volt, because the energy is the charge times the potential difference.Another AnswerYou should be asking what the 'potential difference' is between the two terminals, not the 'potential'. Note that 'voltage' is another term for potential difference.
What should be pressures for 3 phase condenser?
Pressure is equal to voltage and is the potential deference between the capacitor two terminals
