a megger or hipot test involves raising the voltage of the wiring to 2x the operating voltage + 1000v
answer volts/amps or ohms
Dielectric test usually a sample of the oil is taken from the transformer
answer is in ohm-cm
dry devices will have the dielectric tests on file ...
this is a very poor excuse ... the code need rewriting.
the old standards were based on porcelain, oil, paper and cotton AI MI SWC DWC
new types THN THWN THHN SO are generally based on a natural color when the tests are done
so if you replace a cord on a drill the white and green wire has insulation that crumbles while the black is still flexable.
thermoplastic insulation used for several years in damp locations with DC turns to a sticky goo.

If a megger test fails you have a short between the two wires or the wire to ground that you are testing. This short circuit has to be repaired before the equipment is placed back into service.
The typical test equipment for this is a megger. The megger is connected to two conductors at a time to test the insulation between the two.
yes
It is the terminal on the megger that the ground cable connect to when testing a device to ground.

why need dielectric test for transformer
A good number on a megger test should be around 2 megohms.
The typical test equipment for this is a megger. The megger is connected to two conductors at a time to test the insulation between the two.
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
It is the terminal on the megger that the ground cable connect to when testing a device to ground.
Ideally megger test is the best test used to check the resistance of motor winding.
what is the difference between proffiency and diagnostic test
what is the difference between proffiency and diagnostic test
The megger is used to find insulation resistance in any equipement. It will generate around 10kVA power to test.
