Insulation Resistance Test

Insulation Resistance (IR) test, often called Megger test, is more than 100 years old and assumed to be a very straightforward test. During my inspection and testing work in the past 15 years in Canada, US, and internationally, I have seen different practices of performing and interpretation of IR test.

The application of IR test includes:

  • At the point of installation, pre-commissioning to ensure minimum specifications are met
  • Verify proper installation after a repair
  • Troubleshooting
  • ...
