The megger test on a generator is usually done to check the insulation factor of a generator. The high voltage is usually used to test the insulation system of a the generator in question. It is recommended to do this test after every six months.
Usually a megaohmeter (or megger) is used to test high current feeder wires for ground faults before they are landed on a transformer.
No. A megger's output voltage is not high enough to test the insulation of a high-voltage transformer if, by 'high-voltage transformer ', you mean a distribution transformer or power transformer. Instead, a high-voltage test set or 'pressure tester' (e.g. a 'HiPot' tester) must be used, as these produce far higher voltages.
Vanguard, Tettex, AEMC are major ones for transformer market.
The residual magnetisation present in the current transformer coils may cause the errors during measurement of high currents. So that it is necessary to check that.
by measuring the insulation resistance then by usig the formula for finding leakage current leakage current =voltage applied /resistance measured by megger.

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.
How do you zero phase current transformer test
A good number on a megger test should be around 2 megohms.

You don't.

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.
yes
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.
