The no-load power should be measured using a 3 phase power analyser which is
suitable for measurung Power Factor from 0.00 Lag to 0.00 Lead.

1 There are power analysers available which can measure from 0.20 lag to 0.20 lead
or 0.40 lag to 0.40 Lead which are unsuitable for measuring the no-load kW
accurately. Hence use accurate Power Analyser.

2 The above percentage of no-load power is indicative only. If the kW measured

after the reinding exceeds 2 times the indicated values above, decision can be
made to replace the motor.

3 Measuring no-load current is not indicative of the quality of the winding or the health
of the motor.

4 Measuring winding resistance using micro ohm meter is recommended for the copper
value restored while rewinding
 IR Value for Electric motor
For electric motor, we used a insulation tester to measure the resistance of motor winding with earthing (E).
For rated voltage below 1KV, measured with a 500VDC Megger.
For rated voltage above 1KV, measured with a 1000VDC Megger.
In accordance with IEEE 43, clause 9.3, the following formula should be applied.
Min IR Value (For Rotating Machine) =(Rated voltage (v) /1000) + 1
Insulation resistance (IR) value for electric motor

As per IEEE 43
Standard 1974,
2000
IR Value
in MΩ
IR (Min)
For most windings made before about 1970, all field windings, and others not described below
= kV+1
IR (Min)
= 100 For most dc armature and ac windings built after about 1970 (form wound coils)
MΩ
IR (Min)
For most machines with random -wound stator coils and form-wound coils rated below 1kV
= 5 MΩ
Example-1: For 11KV, Three Phase Motor.
IR Value =11+1=12 MΩ but as per IEEE43 It should be 100 MΩ
Example-2: For 415V,Three Phase Motor
IR Value =0.415+1=1.41 MΩ but as per IEEE43 It should be 5 MΩ.
As per IS 732 Min IR Value of Motor=(20XVoltage(p-p/(1000+2XKW)
