2. Megger-with range 500V/1000V shall be used for conducting the test.
Megger range 500 V shall be used for Wire testing
Megger range 1000 V shall be used for Cable testing

FOR WIRES;
1. For wires the circuit is tested, Megger range should be 500V
2
I. Between phase and neutral.
II. Between phase to earth
III. Between neutral to earth
With the other ends of the circuit conductor open the value should be infinity for all the test.
If the value is zero there is short circuit or the insulation of the wire is damaged and the wire
is changed accordingly.
FOR CABLES:-
For Cables the Megger range should be 1000V, and both the ends of the cable shall be kept
open and test shall be conducted between phases and neutrals as follows:
neutrals as follows:
i. RtoY
ii. RtoB
iii.YtoB
iv. RtoN
V. YtoN
vi. BtoN
all these reading should be infinity, if otherwise the cable ^ores/phases are faulty and should be
rectified.
The test results shall be recorded in a format for Engineers reference and record. The format
shall be submitted to Consultant for approval in advance prior to perform the megger test
operation.
