"Ohm" and its multiples is not a unit of current.
"Ampere" and its multiples is.
The current through a 2.2-megohm resistance is
(the voltage across the resistance)/(2,200,000) amperes .
1,000,000 ohm
A 2.2 megohm resistor can handle very low current because of its high resistance value. Using Ohm's Law (I = V/R), at a typical voltage of 5V, the current would be around 2.3 microamps.
A megohm reading measures electrical resistance, indicating how well an insulating material, such as paint, resists electrical current. High megohm values suggest good insulation properties, meaning the paint effectively prevents electrical leakage. This is crucial in applications where electrical safety is a concern, such as in industrial settings or on electrical equipment. Low megohm readings may indicate deterioration or contamination, leading to potential safety hazards.
Greater than 1 Megohm
A megohm is a unit of resistance to the flow of electricity. The requirements of motors are given in terms of voltage, current, whether they are direct or alternating current and, if alternating current, the number of phases.
The megohm meter (or megger) passes the 500, 750, 1000 volts to the wire that needs to be checked. According to ohms law R=V/I, the current in the returned voltage is measured and divided by the resistance (inside the meter). So when the current is high (i.e not properly insulated or leaking), the resistance value will drop otherwise resistance will be high.
One megohm (1 MΩ) is a unit of electrical resistance equal to one million ohms (1,000,000 Ω). It is often used in electronics and electrical engineering to measure high resistance values, such as in insulation testing or in circuits with very low current. Megohms indicate how well a material resists the flow of electric current, with higher values signifying greater resistance.

A megohm is 1,000,000 ohms, so 2.2 megohms is 2,200,000 ohms, often abbreviated to 2.2M, or 2.2Mohm, or 2M2.

No. It means it has a resistance of 2,200,000 Ohms. Plus or minus the tolerance.
The specific megohm value to trip a Residual Current Device (RCD) can vary based on the RCD's rating and application. Typically, an insulation resistance test may require readings of 1 megohm or higher to ensure safe operation, but RCDs themselves trip based on differential current, not insulation resistance. If the leakage current exceeds the RCD's rated sensitivity (commonly 30 mA for household devices), it will trip regardless of insulation resistance. Always consult the manufacturer's specifications for precise requirements.
