Megger range 500 V shall be used for Wire testing

Megger range 1000 V shall be used for Cable testing

PRE – TEST PREPARATION megger testing:-

1. The leads used for connecting megger testing with the circuit should be fault free and the two
connecting leads should have electrical continuity. It is checked by touching the free ends of the leads
together while the megger button is pressed ON to check for zero resistance.

2. Check for PVC adopters are provided for cables and male adapter for all PVC conduits terminating in
the panel board.

3. Check the dressing is complete for all the wires in the panel boards

4. Con rm all the connections are completed before the testing.

ELECTRICAL CONTINUITY TEST megger testing;-

1. Connect the free megger test probes to any two conductors required to be tested.

2. With all the appliance connected or the two ends of the conductors shorted and all Switches
switched ON the reading shown on the megger should be zero. If the reading shows in nity then there
is an open circuit. The fault should be traced and recti ed.

3. For cables, the extreme ends of any two phase is shorted and when the test is conducted the reading
should be zero if the meter reads in nity or some value of mega ohms then there is a fault in the cable
and it should be recti ed. Same procedure shall be repeated for other 3 conductors of the cable.

SHORT CIRCUIT TEST / INSULATION RESISTANCE TEST;-

FOR WIRES;

6/17/2019 method statement megger testing

1. For wires the circuit is tested, Megger range should be 500V

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 in nity 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 in nity, if otherwise the cable ^ores/phases are faulty and should be
recti ed.

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.

Somebody with hands on experience please help me on this one. Considering the
high voltage involved I need to clarify and propose and calculate the risk, probability
and the severity of the works impact.
