    How To Use Megger...

    Uploaded by

    Mohamed Imran
    Meggers are used to test insulation resistance and have line, earth and guard terminals. To measure resistance between a conductor and cable sheath, the line terminal connects to the conductor and earth terminal to the sheath. Connecting the guard terminal to one conductor ensures accurate measurement by eliminating shunting between conductors.

    How to use Megger

    Meggers is equipped with three connection Line Terminal (L), Earth Terminal (E) and Guard Terminal (G).
    Megger connections
    Megger configuration
    In this configuration the Megger should read the resistance between one conductor and the outside sheath.
    Megger - Connecting guard terminal
    Connecting the Guard terminal to the first conductor places the two conductors at almost equal potential
    Resistance is measured between the Line and Earth terminals, where current will travel through coil 1.
    be isolated from another. Lets us check one situation where the insulation resistance is to be tested in a two-wire cable.
    To measure insulation resistance from a conductor to the outside of the cable, we need to connect the Line lead of the megger to one of the conductors and connect the Earth lead of the megger to
    a wire wrapped around the sheath of the cable.
    We want to measure Resistance between Conductor- 2 to sheaths but actually megger measure resistance in parallel with the series combination of conductor-to-conductor resistance (
    first conductor to the sheath (R
    c1-s

    With little or no voltage between them, the insulation resistance is nearly infinite, and thus there will be no current
    based exclusively on the current through the second conductors insulation, through the cable sheath, and to the wire wrapped around, not the current leaking through the first conductors insulation.
    As the diagram below shows there are three resistances to be considered.
    Meggering wiring
    If we measure between core B and sheath without a connection to the guard terminal some current will pass from B to A and from A to the sheath. Our measurement would be low. By connecting the
    guard terminal to A the two cable cores will be at very nearly the same potential and thus the shunting effect is eliminated.
    based exclusively on the current through the second conductors insulation, through the cable sheath, and to the wire wrapped around, not the current leaking through the first conductors insulation.
    The guard terminal (if fitted) acts as a shunt to remove the connected element from the measurement. In other words, it allows you to be selective in evaluating certain specific components in a large
    piece of electrical equipment. For example consider a two core cable with a sheath.
