Limit values for the winding insulation resistance
The following table specifies the measuring voltage and limit values for the insulation
resistance. These values correspond to the recommendations of IEC 60034-27-4 and
IEEE 43-2000.

Conversion to the reference temperature
When measuring at winding temperatures other than 40 °C, convert the measured value to
the reference temperature of 40 °C according to the following equations from IEC 60034-27-
4 and IEEE 43-2000.

Measuring/winding temperature in °C
In this case, doubling or halving the insulation resistance at a temperature change of 10 K is
used as the basis.
●
The insulation resistance halves every time the temperature rises by 10 K.
●
The resistance doubles every time the temperature falls by 10 K.
For a winding temperature of approx. 25° C, the minimum insulation resistances are 20 M
Ω
(U
≤
1000 V) or 300 M
Ω
(U > 1000 V). The values apply for the complete winding to ground.
Twice the minimum values apply to the measurement of individual assemblies.
●
Dry, new windings have an insulation resistance of between 100 ... 2000 M
Ω
, or possibly
even higher values. An insulation resistance value close to the minimum value could be
due to moisture and/or dirt accumulation. The size of the winding, the rated voltage and
other characteristics affect the insulation resistance and may need to be taken into
account when determining measures.
●
Over its operating lifetime, the motor winding insulation resistance can drop due to
ambient and operational influences. Calculate the critical insulation resistance value
