    What about phase winding isolation and testing phase to phase insulation?

    • @GalcoIndustrial
      @GalcoIndustrial  7 років тому +3

      Phase to phase windings are connected together at each motor terminal and are very low resistance. As for "phase-isolation", if you are referring to the windings staying insulated apart from each other, that would be done with an Inductance and milliohm meter. This Video was to demonstrate using a Megohmeter to test a motor that is all.

      You have a point.
      I was taught to separate the windings

    Hi There, great video. I was wonder if you can answer this question. I don't have a megger for testing 3 phase motor. However I am testing phase to earth and getting a reading of 1.000 ohms. Is this normal? I was taught that I should not get any reading on ohms going from phase to earth. I am getting mixed information in the field. Any info would be appreciated.

      That sounds like a bad reading to me. Compare that measurement to the other phases/coils.

    A friend said his father used a megger to hunt for worms in the mud for fishing !

    • @GalcoIndustrial
      @GalcoIndustrial  7 років тому +5

      Some Megger's can generate a lot of voltage. He probably has a 1000volt range on it and it might make the worms want out of the ground if it is shocking them, eh?

    Generally? Seriously? What about Phase to phase readings? A lot of motors can't be megged to ground. Only phase to phase. Ohmeter for ground fault.

    • @GalcoIndustrial
      @GalcoIndustrial  6 років тому +5

      Well a Megger is only for phase to ground testing. To do phase to phase you will need a very different piece of equipment. Capable of measuring very low resistances and inductances. A 1HP 3 phase AC motor will have some measurable ohms phase to phase and should be balanced with in 10% or less (a new motor may measure less than 5% variation). At about 10HP and up, you will measure less than 1 ohm of resistance phase to phase.

    • @Froggability
      @Froggability 4 роки тому +1

      GalcoTV. You CAN megger phase to phase. Just lift 3 of the 6 tails and test away.
      But it's rare to bother with this procedure. Cos normally just megger the whole unit and it's either a pass or a fail.
