  • Page 15: Spot Testing

    All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com 3.3.2 Spot Testing As a general rule in spot testing, test voltage should be applied until no variation in reading is noted for 15 seconds, or applied for a fixed 60 seconds. What minimum value should be measured? The IEEE standard No. 43-1974 states that it is impossible to specify the value of insulation resistance at which a winding will fail electrically, but on motors, minimum readings generally stated are: Rated Voltage R Minimum 250 or less 2MΩ...
  • Page 16: Tips For Successful Insulation Resistance Testing

    All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com 3.3.4 Tips For Successful Insulation Resistance Testing • Check with the equipment manufacturer for factory insulation resistance readings. • Do not rely on insulation resistance testing alone as proof of wind- ing conditions. • Do not expect the same value for all parts of all machines. • Observe consistent test time duration, recognizing that total current through insulation under test will vary with time. • Correct all readings properly to a standard reference temperature (see IEEE Std. #43-1974, Temperature Correction Curve).

    All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com 3.3.6 Insulation Resistance Measurements on Motors Figure 3-6 shows reading the resistance to ground of a three-phase motor winding. Since the three-phase motors are internally connected, it is only necessary to connect one lead to the motor lead and the other lead to the motor frame as shown. Figure 3-6 Figure 3-7 shows the windings of a three- phase motor separated. Sometimes this can be done at the lead termi- nals, while other times the end bells must be removed to get at the lead wires of the coils.

    All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com Continuity Measurements Warning: Tests are to be carried out on non-energized circuits only! The Model 6527 generates a 200mA current between the VΩ and COM terminals. It then measures the voltage across the two terminals and from it deduces the value of R = V/I. • Turn the function switch to • Connect the black test lead to the (COM) terminal and the red one to the (V-Ω) terminal. • Connect to the sample under test. • The megohmmeter will continue generating a test current (200mA) until it is switched out of the continuity function. Turn the megohmme- ter OFF when finished and before touching the lead ends.
