It is an insulation test to see is the insulation has been injured in any way to cause a short circuit when normal power is applied to it.On the whole megger testing is non destructive. What happens is a DC voltage is applied to the device or winding under test. On my megger there are 3 ranges 300V, 750V, and 1000 volts. Applying the proper voltage is essential to not damaging the device you are testing. Working voltages up to 240 volts should use the 300 range. Working voltages up to 600 volts use the 750 volt range and working voltages above 600 use the 1000 volt range. As you can see if you used the 1000 volt range on a device that had a working voltage of say 24 volts you could damage the insulation just by testing it. So meggering a device is non destructive if you use the tester as its instructions tell you to.
Because ordinary ohmmeters are calibrated to measure a range of resistance values that are significantly lower than the resistance of insulation. It should also be realised that we usually test insulation resistance while subjecting the insulation to a high electric field, which a normal ohmmeter is incapable of producing.
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.
High resistance means insulation
The insulation resistance remains the same throughout the entire length of the conductor.
Meggar is a hand driven tool for measuring insulation resistance and earth resistance.
An ohm meter measures resistance in a circuit, not leakage in wire insulation. To measure insulation resistance or leakage in wire insulation, you would typically use a megohmmeter or insulation resistance tester, which applies a higher voltage than an ohm meter to test the integrity of the insulation.

I think you mean, 'insulation' resistance! It's the resistance of insulation, normally expressed in megohms.
you check the insulation and it is degraded,hole in it or it does not have a very high ohms of resistance,which means the insulation is bad.
The best insulation for a basement is typically rigid foam insulation, as it provides good thermal resistance and moisture resistance.
The insulation resister tester was invented by Ohm and was instantly the industry standard when dealing with testing the safety and effeciency of electrical products according to the Electrical Construction & Maintenance web site ecmweb.
To find out which wire has the greatest resistance, you will need to measure the resistance of each wire using a multimeter. Connect the multimeter to each wire separately and record the resistance values displayed. The wire with the highest resistance value will have the greatest resistance.
High resistance means insulation
The insulation resistance remains the same throughout the entire length of the conductor.
One common method to test the solid layer on an insulator is the Megger test, where a high voltage is applied across the insulation to measure its resistance. Another method is the insulation resistance test, which measures the resistance of the insulation to detect any defects. Additionally, visual inspection can also be used to check for any visible damage or contamination on the insulator's surface layer.
The polarization index (PI) of a motor is measured by applying a DC voltage to the motor's winding and observing the insulation resistance over time. Typically, the insulation resistance is measured at intervals of 1 minute and 10 minutes using a megohmmeter. The PI is calculated by dividing the resistance at the 10-minute mark by the resistance at the 1-minute mark. A higher PI indicates better insulation quality and lower moisture or contamination levels.
