Want this question answered?
A megger is used to test insulation values. It doesn't have to be wire only. Any device that has electricity flowing through it can have its electrical insulation properties checked to see if there is any current leakage to ground. So to answer your question any size wire's insulation can be megger tested.
Magnetic wire has a coating of varnish for an insulation.
By "clear insulation," I assume you mean the type of wire used in some lamp cords. If so, the hot wire is the one with the smooth (non-ribbed) insulation.
The insulation will be green in colour. Also bare copper can be used as a ground wire.

leakage current can be determine through the use of clampmeter or ohm-meter. leakage current can be determine through the use of clampmeter or ohm-meter. You can use Ohm's law (E=IR) to get this answer. Disconnect power to the circuit, and measure the leakage path's resistance (This is usually the rated resistance of the insulating material...you will need a M-ohmmeter to measure insulation resistance, as it will be MUCH higher than a standard ohmmeter can measure). Then rework the formula to solve for current: I=E/R or simply: divide voltage by resistance. You can also use an inductive current clamp as mentioned above. This clamp measures electrical current by measuring the electromagnetic field strength of the current flowing through the wire.
So that the living organisms and other wires/metals are not affected by the current in a given wire. In the absence of insulation two wires coming in contact may cause short circuit and also there is a risk of death of the living organisms coming in contact. There is one more reason that insulation minimizes charge leakage from the wire.
Nutral wire can be measured by using clamp meter, if there is a current passing through the wire, we got a reading in the clamp meter i.e. 2A. If we clamp the earth wire by the clamp meter the reading will be zero.
A creep meter is a wire stretched across a fault to measure the horizontal movement from the ground.

The action of removing insulation for a wire is called stripping.
