-What should be minimum value of insulation resistance
and maximum value of earth resistance at any electrical
instillation and what is method of testing the same.
Answer / Jai Kant Rangila
To ensure electrical safety, there are minimum and maximum values for insulation resistance (IR) and earth resistance (ER) that must be maintained at any electrical installation. The specific values can vary depending on local regulations, but here are some general guidelines:
1. Insulation Resistance (IR): IR should be as high as possible, ideally greater than 1 Megohm (MΩ). In some cases, a lower value may still be acceptable if it meets local regulations and safety standards.
2. Earth Resistance (ER): ER should be low enough to minimize the risk of electrical shock but not too low that it affects the performance of protective earths. Commonly, a minimum ER value of 0.5 ohms (Ω) is required for most installations.
Testing insulation resistance and earth resistance can be done using a Megohm meter or earth tester. Consult with an electrical engineer or local regulations for detailed testing procedures.
