Insulation resistance (IR) value for electric motor =] IR (Min) = ‘or most windings made V4 afore about 1970, all field jindings, and others not lescribed below: feo = 100. For most de armature and 1¢ windings built atler about 1970 (form wound coils) feo) =5 — For most machines with \dom -wound stator coils nd form-wound coils rated alow 1kV Example-1: For 11KV, Three Phase Motor. IR Valug =11+1=12 MO but as per IEFE43 It should be 100 MO. » Exemple-2: For 415V,Three Phase Motor IR Value =0.415+1=1.41 MQ but as per IEEE43 It should be 5 MO. » As per IS 732 Min IR Value of Motor=(20XVoltage(p-p/(1000+2XKW) IR Value of Motor as per NETA ATS 2007.

Index? 5. IR Value for Electrical cable and wiring For insulation testing, we need to disconnect from panel or equipment and keep them isolated from power supply. The_wiring and cables need to test for each other ( phase to phase ) with a ground ( E ) cable. The Insulated Power Cable Engineers Association (IPCEA) provides the formula to determine minimum insulation resistance values. R=K x Log 10 (Did) R = IR Value in MQs per 1000 feet (305 meters) of cable. K = Insulation material constant.( Varnished Cambric=2460, Thermoplastic Polyethlene=50000,Composite Polyethylene=30000) D = Outside diameter of conductor insulation for single conductor wire and cable ( D = d + 2c + 2b diameter of single conductor cable ) d — Diameter of conductor ¢ — Thickness of conductor insulation b — Thickness of jacket insulation HV test on new XLPE cable (As per ETSA Standard)
