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

Conversion to the reference temperature
When measuring with winding temperatures other than 40° C, convert the measuring
value to the reference temperature of 40° C according to the following equations from
IEEE 43-2000.

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 MΩ (U ≤ 1000 V) or 300 MΩ (U > 1000 V). The values apply for the complete
winding to ground. Twice the minimum values apply to the measurement of individual
assemblies.
