Because the cable has capacitance, and an AC source would not be able to distinguish between capacitance and leakage.
A good number on a megger test should be around 2 megohms.
Strictly-speaking, this instrument is called a 'megohm meter', but is widely-known as a 'megger' which is the trade name of the company that manufactures the instrument.
The minimum acceptable insulation resistance value is calculated using the following formula: Rinsulation= (Vrated + 1 ) x (304.8 / L ) Where: Rinsulation is the minimum acceptable insulation resistance value, in mega-ohms; Vrated is the rated voltage of the cable (typically printed on the cable), in kilovolts; and L is the length of the cable, in meters (if the cable length is in feet, replace the number 304.8 with 1000).
The correct size of cable depends on the length of the cable run, as well as the voltage and current. Another consideration is what voltage loss is acceptable ? Safest answer would be to use a cable sizing table or online tool: http://www.solar-wind.co.uk/cable-sizing-DC-cables.html Hope that helps. G.
It is the terminal on the megger that the ground cable connect to when testing a device to ground.

Engineers that I have worked with state in their specifications that all meggered wires must have a reading of 5 Meg ohms or higher. If the reading is lower that this benchmark start checking splices especially if it is an underground installation. Water usually accumulates in underground conduit systems and when the wires are pulled in there is a certain amount of conductor scraping. This starts the downward spiral from infinity. Check termination points close to the exit point of the conduit. A certain amount of evaporation from the conduit condensates on the terminal points.
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.
A skilled repair man can use a tool called an Megger(mega-ohm meter) to check the condition of the insulation.
more than 1 G ohms is acceptable. cheers
No. A volt-ohmmeter will not check insulation. To check cable insulation you need a special device (called a megger) made for the purpose that imposes a high voltage and measures current leaks.

You can use any working cable to download acceptable "information" with your USB port on the PS3

A CL rated cable is constructed to comply with the US Electrical Standard Code. It is a common cable used in installations. CM and CATV are also acceptable ratings.
