4. Background

The following is a summary of insulation resistance (IR) testing (commonly referred to as “megger
testing”) of low voltage cables and medium voltage cables. This document will focus only on the tests
that are of importance for field installers which are described as “Installation” and “Maintenance” tests.
Testing should be done by qualified personnel, familiar with both insulation resistance testing and with
the safe operation of the test equipment. As we cannot provide actual insulation resistance values since
they depend on a number of factors,

such as:

• Insulation material;
• Conductor size;
• Conductor insulation temperature (i.e. if directly exposed to sunlight);
• Humidity (i.e. if the cable is wet);
• Cable length; and
• Cable end condition (i.e. insulation not stripped back, cable ends not separated).

There are 4 types of insulation resistance tests for wire and cable that are recognized :

1. Type test / qualification test / conformance test;

2. Factory test;
3. Installation test; and
4. Maintenance test.

Type testing (also referred to as qualification testing or conformance testing) is typically performed on a
new or modified cable design, usually for the purpose of proving conformance to either CSA or UL
standards. This type of test is not performed on production runs of cable.

Factory insulation resistance testing is performed when required at the factory of manufacture to
ensure conformance to applicable standards / specifications. This test is performed according to a
designated test method (e.g. as defined by CSA or UL).

Installation tests are performed directly after cable installation, and before termination to any equipment
or accessories. Installation insulation resistance tests are only to be performed on new wire and cable.
This type of test is a “go / no go” type of test, and is to determine if the insulation has been damaged
during installation.

Maintenance insulation resistance testing can be performed on a regular basis, and the collected data
used to indicate if the conductor insulation is deteriorating over time. This type of test is a form of
preventative maintenance. If the insulation resistance falls below an accepted (user dictated) value, or
falling rapidly over time, then cable replacement is considered.

Although 4 tests are listed above, this document will focus only on the tests that are of importance for
field installers which are described as “Installation” and “Maintenance” tests.

5. Before Making Measurements

Insulation resistance test results are dependant on a number of factors, such as temperature and
humidity. For this reason, care must be taken to properly prepare the cable to be tested. For best
results:

1.Remove the cable from service, disconnecting all other circuits or devices, as well as any cable
accessories and protective end caps, and open the cable at both ends and ensure conductors are
isolated from each other;

2. Only test a cable if the temperature of the conductor is above the dew point – otherwise, moisture will
form on the surface of the insulation, and could be absorbed by the cable causing the test to fail;

3. Make sure that the conductor surface is free of carbon, or any other material that may be conductive;

4.Do not exceed the recommended test voltage of the cable – otherwise, the conductor insulation can
be overstressed, or even damaged; and

6. TEST EQUIPMENT
As the Document number 0187PE-0-EL-169-J11-0001 the test equipment using in test insulation
resistance megger , but usually using on Rumail oil field for L.V cable test Megger-Fluck- 1503 or 1507
and for M.V cable test Megger- Fluck -1555

7. LOW VOLTAGE CABLE (IR) Test

7.1 LV or Low Voltage Range

As IEC 60038:2009 specifies standard voltage values , LV range contains lower-level voltages ranging
50 – 1000 volts.Technically the name low indicates the lower range, still, the voltages are dangerous
and can lead to lethal accidents. One should take care while handling such voltages.

Low Voltage 50 to 1000

 Insulation Resistance Testing of Cables in the Field

7.2 Go / No Go Minimum Acceptable Insulation Resistance Value

Go / no go” testing is performed on new cable installations to determine if the insulation has been damaged
during installation. The minimum acceptable insulation resistance value is calculated using the following
formula:

R Insulation = (V Rated + 1) (304.8/L)

R Insulation is the minimum acceptable insulation resistance value , in mega -ohms

V Rated is the rated voltage of the cable (typically printed on the cable), in kilovolts; and
L is the length of the cable, in meters (if the cable length is in feet, replace the number 304.8 with 1000).

7.3 Installation Testing

An insulation resistance test is typically performed on de-energized wire and cable immediately
after installation, and before termination to any equipment or accessories. This test is used to
detect conductor insulation damage that may have been caused during installation. This type of
test is commonly referred to as “go / no go testing” (or dielectric withstand test), since the cable
passes the test if no break-down occurs.

The test voltage selected for this type of test is less than 5 kV, and is applied for up to one minute,
or until the measured insulation resistance value stabilizes. The test voltage is the rated voltage of
the cable (the line-to-line voltage). Any voltage larger than this may stress the cable and cause
premature failure.

7.3.1 Procedure

For each cable that is to be tested:

1. Record the following data from the reel or coil tag:

• Reel / coil number;

• Date of manufacture;
• Cable length;
• Type of cable; and
• Conductor size.

2. OPTIONAL – Measure and record the conductor insulation temperature. For a cable with
multiple conductors, the insulation temperature for one of the conductors will suffice. This
temperature may be different than the ambient air temperature, especially if the cable is exposed
to direct sunlight.
3. Strip back the cable at each end, as if it were to be connected to the supply and load equipment
(remove the jacket, separate the conductors, and strip the ends of the conductors of any insulation). The
cable must be disconnected from any equipment at both ends. This includes switches, receptacles, and
any other kind of device that may be connected to the conductors. An open switch connected to the cable
could present a low resistance path, making the cable appear to fail.

 Insulation Resistance Testing of Cables in the Field

4. Separate the conductors from each other, and from any ground conductors, to allow for the best
possible insulation resistance reading.

5. Thoroughly clean the exposed conductor ends to remove any dirt or debris. They should also
be completely dry at the time of measurement. This will also improve the measurement.

6.Conduct the insulation resistance test according to test set manufacturers instructions. We
suggest applying voltage between each pair of insulated conductors, and insulated conductors
to bare grounds, shields and armour. All of the bare ground conductors are to be bonded
together, and to any shields and / or armour that may exist in the cable, and grounded. Each
insulated conductor should be tested separately and the results recorded. For a 3-phase cable,
containing 3 insulated conductors (A, B, and C), cabled with a bare ground (G), the suggested
tests would be from:

• A to B;

• B to C;

• C to A;

• A to G;

• B to G; and

• C to G.

7. Review the recorded measurements. Ultimately, this is a “go / no go” type of test, meaning
that all insulation resistance measurement values must be greater than the “go / no go”
acceptance value calculated, as shown in Section 1.3, above. Values that show an extremely
large value (i.e. peak meter value) would indicate that there was a possible connection issue in
the system. Values that are at or near zero (0) would indicate that either the insulation has
failed somewhere along the length of the cable, or the cable to be tested was poorly prepared
(i.e. equipment still connected to the cable, insulation not stripped back, cable ends not
separated). If there is any issue with interpreting the results.

7.4 Preventative Maintenance Testing

Preventative maintenance testing is typically performed on a cable that has already been in
service for an extended period of time (many months or years). This test is used to monitor any
degradation in insulation performance over time. Accurate records of the date of test, insulation
resistance, as well as conductor insulation temperature must be kept. This data may be used to
determine insulation deterioration.

The test voltage selected for this type of test is less than 5 kV, and is applied for up to one minute,
or until the measured insulation resistance value stabilizes. The test voltage is the rated voltage of
the cable (the line-to-line voltage). Any voltage larger than this may stress the cable and cause
premature failure.

7.4.1 Procedure

For each cable that is to be tested:

1. Measure and record the cable length. Also record the cable type and conductor size.

2. Measure and record the conductor insulation temperature. For a cable with multiple
conductors, the insulation temperature for one of the conductors will suffice. This
temperature may be different than the ambient air temperature, especially if the cable is
exposed to direct sunlight.

3. Disconnect the cable from any equipment or devices at both ends. This includes switches,
receptacles, and any other kind of device that may be connected to the conductors. An
open switch connected to the cable could present a low resistance path, making the cable
appear to fail.

4. Separate the conductors from each other, and from any ground conductors, to allow for the
best possible insulation resistance reading.

5. Thoroughly clean the exposed conductor ends to remove any dirt or debris. They should
also be completely dry at the time of measurement. This will also improve the
measurement.

6. Conduct the insulation resistance test according to test set manufacturers instructions. We

conductors to bare grounds, shields and armour. All of the bare ground conductors are to
be bonded together, and to any shields and / or armour that may exist in the cable, and
grounded. Each insulated conductor should be tested separately and the results recorded.
For a 3-phase cable, containing 3 insulated conductors (A, B, and C), cabled with a bare
ground (G), the suggested tests would be from:

• A to B;

• B to C;

• C to A;

• A to G;

• B to G; and

• C to G.

7. Review the recorded measurements. These measurements are recorded for historical
reasons and are only to be compared with past values from the same cable. It should be
noted that in order to be compared, all insulation resistance values must be taken at the
same conductor insulation temperature or scaled for temperature. This type of testing is
intended to be performed on a regular basis. Suggests on an annual or bi-annual (every
other year) basis. If there is any issue with interpreting the results.

8. High VOLTAGE CABLE (IR) Test

As IEC 60038:2009 specifies standard voltage values , Voltages higher than 1 kV but lower than 100
kV are classified as medium level voltages. Electrical distribution and secondary transmission
are usually done within MV range of voltages.
