CHAPTER 12
INSULATION RESISTANCE MEASUREMENT FOR
VARIOUS EQUIPMENTS
Insulation resistance is measured while manufacturing various equipments like
transformer, circuit breakers, cables etc. It should be noted that the negative measurement
lead should not be connected to large ground conductors. Following are the connections
schemes for insulation resistance measurement for different equipments:
