    The motor was tripping due to overcurrent. To check for stator wire shorting, the technician performed positive isolation tests and measured the line-to-ground (LG) resistance of each stator wire using a manual Megger device. The Megger revealed the resistance across each phase was approximately 100 ohms, identifying no short circuits in the 2KW, 415V, 2840rpm motor with a Y-connected stator.

    Case Study on a LT induction motor used in pump

     The motor was getting tripped because of overcurrent and it had to be checked for shorting
    of stator wires.
     We did the positive isolation and checked for shorting
     We used Megger for measuring the LG resistance of the stator wires.

    MEGGER
    The device enables us to measure electrical leakage in wire, results are very
    reliable as we shall be passing electric current through device while we are
    testing. The equipment basically uses for verifying the electrical insulation
    level of any device such as motors, cables, generators, windings, etc.

    Types of Megger
    This can be separated into mainly two categories:-

    1. Electronic Type (Battery Operated)


    2. Manual Type (Hand Operated)

    We used a manual type megger.

    Advantages of a hand operated megger:


    1. Still keeps important in such high-tech world as it’s an oldest method for IR value
    determination.
    2. No external source required to operate.
    3. Cheaper available in market.

    The motor whose resistance we measured had a power rating of 2


    KW, speed 2840 rpm,voltage rating 415V and stator in Y connection.
    Observation:
    The resistance measured across each of the phase is around 100 ohms.
