When the breaker is open, the pole will have two part. One is
moving contact and other is fix contact.
Conduct the test between moving and fix contact for 1 minute
at
Thus we can ensure that there is no any other path for current
to flow in the breaker and for checking the insulation of breaker
pole circuit.
Here the value we will get in ohms. As per standard, the value
should be more than or equal to (kV + 1) M-ohms. Where kV
is the voltage rating of the switchgear.
If you do not get the values within the range, check the power
circuit for any material in between the circuit and clean the
current carrying part through electrical contact cleaner spray.
The current carrying part should be without any moisture to get
the value of insulation resistance test.
