What is the required resistance in mega ohm when performing megger?

Normally the megger should be selected based on the following criteria. 1.Voltage rating of the megger 2.Range of the megger value 3.Manual - Hand operated analogue type 4.Auto- Digital Megger To measure the insualtion resistance of Motor (LV Motors) Up to 500 V/1000 V Megger is sufficient To measure the insualtion resistance of Motor (HV Motors) Up to 5000 V can be choosen Normaly the range starts from 0.5 to Infinity meg value in the analogue However in digital the based on the least count /range of the instrument we can able to measure the insualtion value.


Why Megger have two ranges ohm and mega ohm?

If you measure a small resistance with the megger set in Mega ohm range you get a very tiny and inaccurate result, and If you measure a huge resistance with the megger set to mega ohm range it will bottom out. To get the most accurate measurements you want what you're measuring to be about the same as the scale you're using.


Do you need a current transformer to operate a megger?

No, a current transformer is not typically required to operate a megger. A megger, or insulation resistance tester, is designed to measure the insulation resistance of electrical systems and components by applying a high voltage, which is independent of current transformers. However, if testing high-voltage systems, additional precautions and equipment may be necessary for safety and accuracy.

Can a meggar tester be use to measure voltage standing wave ratio in a feeder cable?

No, a megger tester cannot measure voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) in a feeder cable. A VSWR meter or network analyzer is typically used to measure VSWR, which is a way to characterize impedance matching in transmission lines. Megger testers are used to measure insulation resistance and continuity in electrical circuits.


Is megger related to hot wire instrument moving coil or moving iron?

Megger is related to a hot wire instrument with a moving coil. The megger uses a moving coil to measure insulation resistance in electrical circuits and equipment. This type of instrument is specifically designed for insulation testing.

How do you measure electrical insulation resistance value?

By Megger testing (meggering) of the motor any one can measure the IR of the motor. MEGGER is a device used to measure IR. Analog Megger device may generate 500 volts..it gives coil to coil or coil to body IR value...it should not be less than 2 Mega ohm, generally it should be or kept more than 5 mega ohm...thanks ...DEEPAK RAJPUT
