Insulation tester - what brand/type is ideal for electric motors
Insulation tester - what brand/type is ideal for electric motors
(OP)
Hello,
I have been looking on the net for a insulation
tester. I intend to use it mainly for testing motors.
I would like know what you would consider to be the
ideal tester for the task.
I have also been trying to locate information on
testing procedures. It has been very difficult to
find such information. I tried a search at this site
with zero results.
Do you know of any sites with motor insulation testing information? Do have any tips for testing?
I would greatly appreciate any information.
Respectfully,Ruben

Megger - Testing the insulation resistance and polarization index of windings (Avo, Fluke, Kyoritsu)
Surge Tester - Testing the turn-to-turn insulation, reversed coils, etc. (Baker, PJ Electronics)
AC HV test kit - Testing the high voltage withstandability of windings (many make them, google for ac hv tester)
DC HV test kit - Non-destructive (within reason) testing of the winding dielectric strength of winding (Google for dc hv tester)
Micro-ohm meter - Testing the winding DC resistance (Avo, Fluke)

But times change and if I got back into service work in North America I would probably add equipment to measure total harmonic distortion, and possibly some type of multi channel recorder, maybe laptop based. Temperature measurement would also be good.

Here is a good PDF from http://avointl.com/, Fluke of coarse also has some excellent procedure information.
