B. Pre-Test Preparation
1. Check Lead Integrity
• Ensure that the leads used for connecting the megger to the circuit are free from
faults. Verify electrical continuity by touching the free ends of the leads together
while the megger button is pressed ON to confirm zero resistance.
For Cables
1. Test Setup
• Use a megger with a 1000V range.
• Keep both ends of the cable open.
• Conduct tests between phases and neutrals as follows:
• R to Y
• R to B
• Y to B
• R to N
• Y to N
• B to N
2. All these readings should be infinite. Any other value suggests a fault in the
cable cores/phases that requires rectification.
E. Reporting
The test results must be recorded in a specified format for reference and record-keeping by
the engineers.
This format should be submitted to the consultant for approval before conducting the
megger testing operation. Proper documentation ensures transparency and accountability
in the testing process.
