Why you do insulation resistance test?
in order to avoid unwanted short circuit break downs.... short circuit can burn the transformer and motor winding.... Megger is the device used to check the insulation .
What will happen to the transformer if rated voltage is applied to the winding during short circuit test?
If rated voltage is applied to Transformer during S/C test, The secondary winding will burn out due ta heavy current flow through the winding. During S/C test the secondary winding is short circuited so the impedance between phase and neutral is very low(only winding resistance). But the voltage across the secondary winding is rated hence heavy current flows through the winding, as I=V/Z. it depends which rated voltage is applied. if you are talking about primary winding voltage, transformer should withstand the primary rated voltage it's been designed for (OR it has been poorly designed). Otherwise, if rated voltage is the insulation voltage between a winding and earth OR winding-to-winding, you just have to check if: 1 - it is higher than the maximum primary winding voltage the transformer can withstand (could be, could not be..). Then, you can guess if your transformer is likely to burn or not. 2 - your test setup (usually a HV generator connected between primary and secondary winding) can deliver the requested current for the setup. I guess this won't be the case, since HV testers are usually designed to generate high voltages, but very small output currents.
What is meggers?
A megger is an electrical instrument that is used to measure the resistance of insulation by applying a DC voltage to the conductor. One lead is connected to the conductor and the other lead is connected to ground. Safe insulation reading to ground should be above 2,000,000 ohms or 2 megs.
How do you check single phase motor winding?
Single phase motor winding is often checked just by listening to the noise that the motor is making. An experienced person can tell if the motor is working at single phase or double phase.
How do you check 110volt motor for short?
To check any piece of electrical equipment for a short circuit a megohm meter will be used. The common name for this piece of equipment is a megger.
How do you check a motor for a bad winding?
You need a Megger tester. With one lead attached to the winding and the other attached to the motor housing, the Megger sends a high voltage through the winding. The Megger reads the resistance, letting you know if there is a short to ground.

How do you test a dimmer switch with a multimeter?
You cannot use an ordinary multimeter to assess the difference between a normal power transformer winding and a shorted power transformer winding. You need a Q meter and/or to power it up at a reduced voltage with limited current to see what happens. Note that a shorted power transformer is capable of exploding, so you need to take appropriate safety precautions.
How do you check mega ohms on compressor?
Usually you check mega-ohms by reading the resistance between compressor shell and the windings. There should be a large amount of resistance which means the windings are not shorted to the compressor case or shell. Use a DVM (digital volt ohm meter) to check the resistance.
How do you know if a three phase motor's winding is shorted?
You use a megger. This allows you to check what the condition of the insulation of the motor windings are. An ohms check on each phase should be an easy way if it reads OPEN then there's your bad phase. Otherwise there are diffrent types of 3 phase motors, could be the brushes, commutator, sliprings, many many things.

What is the difference between continuity and resistance check?
Continuity is checking for a completed circuit including a short circuit. Checking resistance would be checking in ohms resistance of a circuit, motor windings or an open circuit.
What are the best headphones to buy and what advice should I follow when researching about them?
The best are the Bose brand headphones. They have been making great equipment for a long time. When researching them check for the resistance and the materials used. Also check out the warranty.
What equipment can you use to check your pulse?
The B.P. equipment can be used to check your pulse.
What are probable causes for not have build up voltage in a shunt generator?
1. Field Flashing. 2. Resistance of the filed winding should be less than critical field resistance. 3. Speed of the motor should be greater than critical speed. 4. Interchange the field connections. 5. Check the commutator surface and brush.
What meter is used to bench check a motor for short or open winding?
Ohmmeter
How do you check that tools and equipment are configured correctly for the intended purpose?
When connecting any equipment to a power source always check the name plate on the equipment to see if the voltage supply matches the voltage that the equipment needs. I have been called in to find out why a piece of equipment has failed and many times the person that connected the equipment never checked the compatibility between the source and the equipment's requirement. It is a quick and easy thing to do but it is often overlooked.
