by measuring the insulation resistance then by usig the formula for finding leakage current leakage current =voltage applied /resistance measured by megger.
The typical test equipment for this is a megger. The megger is connected to two conductors at a time to test the insulation between the two.
constant resistance variable resistance and accomodating resistance
As we know thath insulators are the materials which are mainly use to insulate any conducting body from the LIVE supply whether 3Ph or single phase, so the reristence of such an insulator should be infinity as it should be provide maximum resistance to the flow of current through it.
Estimated Insulation Resistance of a cable:IR = K log (D/d)K = specific insulation resistance in megohs - 1000 feet at 60 Deg. F (K = 2000 for PVC; 50,000 for EPR; 100,000 for XLP)D = diameter over insulationd = diameter under insulationIR = insulation resistance in megohms - 1000 feet. Note that IR is inversely proportional to the cable length. So don't forget to divide the calculated IR for 1000 ft. by your Cable Length (L) then multiplied by 1000.Be advised that in the real world, the measured IR may not be anywhere close to the calculated IR due to extraneous influences such as humidity, temperature, dirt, etc.

The typical test equipment for this is a megger. The megger is connected to two conductors at a time to test the insulation between the two.
AEMC manufacturers meters, testers and analyzers. They have a large selection of megohmmeters, insulation resistance testers, ground resistance testers, probes, data loggers, and power meters.
BIL or basic impulse insulation level is the dielectric insulation gradient of a material tested to withstand the voltage stress at a voltage impressed between the material and a conductive surface beyond the BIL rating, an electric tracking starts to occur which will then result into an arcing flashover to the conductive surface. In addition it is the capacity of an equipment to withstand mechanical stress..like lightning strike without causing any damage to the equipment...
The PI value depends on the type of equipment being tested and the voltage level. Roughly it shall not be below the value of 2.0

Kewtech produces testing equipment, such as: multifunction testers; leads and accessories; electrical testing; PAT testing; insulation and continuity; loop impedance; RCD testers; environmental meters; clamp meters; multimeters; and power quality analysis.

In equipment engineering, its meager test is electrical insulation test. Its testing the grounding of an equipment.
It is the resistance of insulating material in electrical equipment e.g. electric motors, etc., measured in megohms.Some materials like glass, mica and others are classified as insulators because their resistance to the flow of electrical current is very high.The basic unit of resistance is the ohm. A megohm means a resistance equal to 1 million ohms.
