Is there such a thing as an inexpensive megger?
Is there such a thing as an inexpensive megger?
(OP)
Another issue I run into is megger readings. I don't have one and I've found many to be quite expensive. Are there any around that are fairly inexpensive as to the more costly ones?
Reading resistance (ohms) on a motor is OK for one test by the FAQ sheet indicated megger readings are really needed or are they?
Any Input?

Of course if you were looking for something like a $10 multimeter a meggar will cost a little more.
Periodic meggar checks are to test the insulation of the motor windings which gives a rough sketch of the general health of the motor. I would reccomend doing it.
One note of caution be sure when you do a meggar test that no electronic parts or devices will be 'meggared' they will COOK delicate components like transistors, and microchips.
