If it is a motor connection that is being tested, engineers like to see it above 5 meg. In reality above 2 meg is fine.
The term is 'megger', not 'mega', and the answer is infinity.
It reads 100, 250 1,000 DC for both 200MΩ and 2000MΩ ranges.
The passing reading of a megger tester on a motor typically indicates insulation resistance between the windings and the motor frame. A common threshold for acceptable insulation resistance is at least 1 megohm per kilovolt of operating voltage, with a minimum of 1 megohm being a general guideline for lower voltage motors. High readings (usually above 10 megohms) are considered ideal, while significantly lower readings may indicate potential insulation failure or deterioration. Regular testing helps ensure the motor's reliability and safety in operation.
if check voltage is 2000v then acceptable range is 400

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.
A number is meaningless without units.
What is the acepable rating on a #3 wire when meggering @1000v
It reads 100, 250 1,000 DC for both 200MΩ and 2000MΩ ranges.
An infinity reading on a megger typically indicates an open circuit or very high resistance, meaning that the insulation being tested is in good condition. It is not necessarily at '0' or 1000 range, as the exact value may vary depending on the specific megger model and the insulation resistance being measured.
It depends on what you're measuring.

You can, and you will get a reading if the leakage is within the operating parameters of the megger or there is a dead short in the windings. Most larger voltage motors need higher testing voltages. A hi-pot tester will deliver these higher voltages.
