Engineers request that 5 meg ohm is the bottom limit. I use 1 meg as a bottom limit when megging conductors before they are energized. I have run motors as low as .5 meg, when the moisture is driven out by the heat of the motors operation the motors usually climbs up to about 2 meg ohms.

How to do the megger test in electric motor?
Briefly, a megger test is testing an electric circuit at load. The circuit might prove good at normal resistance measuring but fails when applying high voltage. Read the megger result correctly, every electric circuit will fail if stressed high enough. Disconnect any servo drive or frequency controller before testing.
What is the number of a megger test to shoot for?
A good number on a megger test should be around 2 megohms.
What is the accepted value for megger of 500 kv Ct tested by 5 KV DC Megger?
The value of insulation resistance varies according to the type of CT and manufacturer. It is best to check with the manufacturer for acceptable values. The word 'Megger' is a registered trademark of Megger Limited. Megger Limited's product range includes insulation testers, relay testers, battery testers and many other electrical test and measurement products. Tony Wills, Applications Engineer, Megger Ltd.
What is the importance of Megger test?
Megger tests are important because the test makes sure that your electrical insulation is safe and operating as intended. Megger tests are performed using a Meg-ohmmeter.
What type of voltage applied during megger test?
DC

What value of tester is to be used for measuring insulation resistance of three phase 600V cables?
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.

Can you megger or test an rcd?
yes
What is the g in a megger test?
It is the terminal on the megger that the ground cable connect to when testing a device to ground.
How do you test an electric bell with a megger?
To better understand how to perform this test, it is important to understand what a megger test does. A megger traditionally utilizes a relatively high voltage {500vdc} to detect minute leakage current in an insulator or conductor. These "pinhole" leaks lead to current arcing and eventually an electrical short to the frame of the device. In the case of a bell, you would connect one lead to the metal frame of the bell and the other to either of the bell wires. The result of the test should be infinity or an open circuit.
What is sbc of soil?
SBC is the safe bearing capacity of a soil, beyond this value if soil is loaded, it will fail to bear the load applied on it and will fail. Its value can be found out by standard penetration test, plate load test or cone penetration test.
How megger produce voltage?
The megger is used to find insulation resistance in any equipement. It will generate around 10kVA power to test.
What type of voltage applied during megger test?
DC
What is the minimum resistance between phasea in megger test?
infinity
