Insulation resistance 

 

WARNING: BEFORE MEASURING 
INSULATION RESISTANCE, THE MACHINE 
MUST BE AT STANDSTILL AND ALL 
WINDINGS BEING  TESTED MUST  BE 

 

CONNECTED TO  THE  FRAME AND TO 
GROUND FOR A TIME TO REMOVE ALL 
RESIDUAL ELECTROSTATIC CHARGE. 
GROUND SURGE CAPACITORS, IF 
FURNISHED, BEFORE DISCONNECTING AND 
ISOLATE FROM LEADS BEFORE 
MEGGERING. 
FAILURE TO OBSERVE THESE PRECAUTIONS 
MAY RESULT IN INJURY TO PERSONNEL. 

 
 

 Insulation resistance is determined by applying a dc 
voltage, typically 500 or 1000 Volts, across insulation, 
measuring the current flow after the voltage has been 
applied for a specific length of time and then determining 
the ratio of voltage to current. Because the current flow 
is low, the value of insulation resistance will be great in 
terms of ohms. Accordingly, megohms are used as a 
practical unit. 

Factors affecting insulation resistance are as 

follows: 

 
1. Moisture 
2.  Surface cleanliness of the insulation 
3. Temperature 
4.  Length of time of applying the dc test voltage 
5.  Magnitude of the applied dc test voltage
