Tutorial: Insulation Resistance Testing / Megger Testing / PAT testing Pt 1

View all my tutorials and videos: https://www.youtube.com/user/mjlorton/videos?live_view=500&flow=list&sort=dd&view=1 ------------------------------ Click "Show more" ------------------------------------------- A tutorial on insulation testing. I cover the different test methods, an analogy on how insulation testing works, safety and the use of insulation test equipment. In this video: * What is insulation testing / what is megger testing / what is PAT (Portable Appliance Testing) testing? * Electrical safety when working in a DB board / breaker box or around high energy circuits. * Insulation test types: Proof test, Spot test, Time Resistance testing, Step Level Voltage test, Polarization Index (PI) test, Dielectric Absorption Ratio (DAR) test. * Leakage currents: conductive leakage current, capacitive charging leakage current and polarization absorption leakage current in a dielectric. * Fluke 1587 Insulation Meter Sponsors: ISO-TECH Test equipment: http://uk.rs-online.com/web/generalDisplay.html?id=brands/isotech Tester.co.uk: http://www.tester.co.uk/?cmid=QmhzQjcxYjVlc1E9&afid=bFcwbzliNzVDc289&ats=K2EyUjZNTDh3UTA9 Reading material: http://www.powercet.com/uploads/files/AE_Understnd_Insulation_Res_Testing.pdf http://assets.fluke.com/FACT/InsulationTesting.pdf http://www.testequipmentdepot.com/application-notes/pdf/insulation-testers/insulation-resistance-testing_an.PDF ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ My website and forum:- http://www.mjlorton.com Donations and contributions:- http://www.mjlorton.com My techie channel MJLorton - Solar Power and Electronic Measurement Equipment - http://www.youtube.com/MJLorton My Techie Amazon Store: http://astore.amazon.com/m0711-20 My other channel VBlogMag - For almost any topic under the sun! - http://www.youtube.com/VBlogMag My VBlogMag Amazon Store: http://astore.amazon.com/vblogmag-20 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ =================================================== Video sponsor, Pass Ltd - their websites: At checkout use the discount / promotion code "mjlorton" for 5% off. http://www.tester.co.uk/?cmid=QmhzQjcxYjVlc1E9&afid=bFcwbzliNzVDc289&ats=K2EyUjZNTDh3UTA9 - Test Equipment and Test-meter suppliers and http://www.calibrate.co.uk/?cmid=QmhzQjcxYjVlc1E9&afid=bFcwbzliNzVDc289&ats=S3Yxd2tOMjVISzA9 - Calibration and service of test equipment =================================================== $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Bitcoin (BTC) Donations: 1K7PeF55e7ssE7W3WVCoa7c4j2PHzy6ASv $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ ********************************************************************************** Music clip from Youtube Music Library - Phase Three by Huma-Huma **********************************************************************************
