Use a megger or a insulation tester. Place one lead on any of the phases nd other lead the alternator boy. Observe the indicator. In megger it s good with infinity or it must be minimum 100M OHM, IF IT SHOWs 50 it could be coz of moisture in winding by heating the alternator the insulation resistance value may improve
What else can I help you with?
Load test on single phase transformer?
The dc tests that can be done on a transformer are to measure the resistance of each windings and to measure the insulation resistance between the windings and between each winding and the transformer case.
What is difference between insulation resistance test and polarization index?
Insulation resistance test: This test is used to find the insulation resistance of motor for 1 min or 10 min through high voltage insulation tester. By this we can find the insulation level. Polarization index: This is the ratio between insulation resistance for 10 min to insulation resistance for 1 min.
How can you check the motor's windings whether short circuit?
To check a motor's windings for a short circuit, you can use a multimeter to measure the resistance between the winding terminals. A reading close to zero ohms indicates a short circuit, while an infinite or very high resistance suggests the windings are intact. Additionally, you can check for shorts between the windings and the motor frame by measuring resistance from the winding terminals to the frame; any low resistance reading indicates a short to ground. Always ensure the motor is powered off and disconnected before performing these tests for safety.
What is the difference between insulation resistance and earth resistance?
insulation resistance can be measured by means of megger, with built in d.c generator. It is measured between the conductor and the earth. earth resistance can be measured by means of earth resistance tester. For good effective earthing, th earth resistance should be of order 0.5 ohm
What is insolation resistance?
I think you mean 'insulation resistance'. This is exactly what it says it is, it is the resistance between opposite sides of an insulator or dielectric. It is in the order of megohms and, in the case of a cable, is inversely proportional to its length -i.e. the longer the cable, the lower its insulation resistance.
Load test on single phase transformer?
The dc tests that can be done on a transformer are to measure the resistance of each windings and to measure the insulation resistance between the windings and between each winding and the transformer case.
Why alternator space heater used?
Alternators windings do not carry any current when it is not in motion. In high humid environment, the moisture ingress in the windings can reduce the resistance between the winding conductor and the body. When a moist alternator is started, the alternator windings may burn due to short circuit with body. To avoid this, the winding can always be kept warm by using heaters called "space heaters".

Insulation resistance test: This test is used to find the insulation resistance of motor for 1 min or 10 min through high voltage insulation tester. By this we can find the insulation level. Polarization index: This is the ratio between insulation resistance for 10 min to insulation resistance for 1 min.
What is resistance between primary and secondary winding of transformer?
The primary and secondary windings of a mutual transformer are electrically isolated, and should have 'infinite' resistance between them when measured appropriately (which depends on voltage ratings of the windings).
How can you check the motor's windings whether short circuit?
To check a motor's windings for a short circuit, you can use a multimeter to measure the resistance between the winding terminals. A reading close to zero ohms indicates a short circuit, while an infinite or very high resistance suggests the windings are intact.

Always ensure the motor is powered off and disconnected before performing these tests for safety.
Why is a high dc voltage applied to a transformer for testing?
A high dc voltage would be applied to test the insulation between the windings.
What is the relationship between insulation resistance and length of conductor in transformers?
when length is increased insulation resistance of cable is decresed i.e.,R is inversely proportional to L where R is resistance L is length

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.
What is the difference between an alternator and a stator?
An alternator is a device that generates power for an automobile to run its electrical loads and to charge the battery. A stator is one of the internal parts of the alternator, specifically the stationary windings that generate the 3-phase AC.
