When testing two cables there is twice the the amount of insulation, as opposed to one cable to ground.

Define the thermal resistance of a cable?
No. Conductor resistance is. Cable insulation resistance to ground is inversely proportional to its length. The longer the cable, the more leakage path to ground; therefore, the lower the insulation resistance to ground.
What is insulation resistance in capacitor?
ideally there will not be any resistance to the capacitor,so at this condition it should not not discharge the stored energy. but practically small resistance will be there in the capacitor so the energy stored by the capacitor will be discharged through resistance.
Is r-value good or bad?
it is a good thing i think R Value is the thermal resistance of a given material. The higher the R Value the more thermal resistance and the better the insulation. So, an R48 roof system is warmer than an R32 roof system. All insulation materials are rated by their R Value. An inch of rigid insulation has a higher R Value than an inch of fiberglass insulation. Check with the insulation manufacturer for the R Value.
Why 5KV voltage is applied to Megger for insulation resistance measurement?
It is a easy voltage to obtain and can check for breakover in the insulation. The voltage is higher then what would be put through most wire and shows any weakness.
What is the optimum insulation resistance for 11kV UGcables when tested by 5000v insulation megger?
High voltage cables with this high an insulation factor are usually given a Hi Pot (High Potential) test and not meggered. The potential has to be higher that the working voltage of the cable to be effective when checking for insulation or connector breakdown.
What is the minimum resistance when megohming 13.2kv transformer?
A megger would not be suitable for testing insulation resistance of a 13.2-kV transformer, as the transformer's voltage rating is significantly higher than the output voltage from a megger.
What is the best type of attic insulation?
Insulation is rated in terms of thermal resistance, called R-value, which indicates the resistance to heat flow. The higher the R-value, the greater the insulating effectiveness. The R-value of thermal insulation depends on the type of material, its thickness, and its density. In calculating the R-value of a multi-layered installation, the R-values of the individual layers are added.
How is insulation measured?
Floors, attics and walls all require insulation of different R-Values which are measured by the thickness of the insulation. The R-Value determines how well the insulation will resist heat flow. The higher the R-Value the more resistance it has to heat and cold. If you are adding to existing insulation there is another factor to consider. You will have to determine the R-Value of the existing to know how much additional insulation to add
Conclusion of voltmeter?
The higher the resistance , the higher the voltage
How do you measure insulation resistance between windings for 120KVA alternator?
Use a megger or a insulation tester. Place one lead on any of the phases nd other lead the alternator boy. Observe the indicator. In megger it s good with infinity or it must be minimum 100M OHM, IF IT SHOWs 50 it could be coz of moisture in winding by heating the alternator the insulation resistance value may improve
What is the area of higher ground between watersheds?
A divide.
Which has a higher resistance insulators or conductors?
No, the resistance of an insulator is very high.
