    Inductance measurements can also be compared to previous measure- ments or values specified by the original equipment manufacturers. Inductance testing also provides impedance values and angles. DX capacitance tests measure only capacitance and D/Q. No impedance values or phase angle val- ues are included. www.megger.com...

  • Page 22: Conducting Surge Tests

    4. As noted earlier, the operating voltage is the basis for the test voltage used during Surge testing. For this example, we continue to use the 480-volt motor with a maximum testing voltage of 2000 volts. 5. Press and hold the Start (PTT) button. The following popup menu appears. www.megger.com...
