When measuring the Insulation resistance of a motor winding
(winding to earth) using a megger meter, Applied
voltage(1000V) was automatically reduced to 500V. and the
measured insulation resistance values are also very low (in
Kohm range) Can anyone give me a reason???

Answer / sridhar
there are two reasons of getting the value low.
1. due to moisture in the motor
2. winding has become weak
to overcome these problems the methods can be adopted
1. heater or halogen lamp to be provided near to the
winding of the motor to bring the resistance value as per
std.
2. by this above method, the insulation resistance is not
upto the mark, the same winding can be overhauled to
achieve the required insulation resistance value.

Answer / raghavendran.r
The reason for the fall in supply voltage could be because of the fact Insulation has started conducting heavily as mentioned that insulation resistance is also poor.

Answer / dum
Thanx Sridhar.. ur answer is clear. But i want to know why the applied voltage is automatically reduced as i have mentioned in my question?? is there any theoretical explanation for that??

How do you change an AC motor to DC? why there is only 50 Hz frequency in india & not other?
Hi, I'm running plastic reprocessing company where all motors are running only in delta. Due to that when I use start my 30 hp motor my transformer gets fuse. Where it happens two times a day. I gt a suggestion from a person about Automatic Power Factor Controller APFC. Is it useful for my problem??? Or is der any other way for solving this problem?? Upgrading the transformer is difficult. Pls give Me ur suggestion. Waiting for ur reply.
