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 Posted / 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.
