Insulation Resistance Measurement: DC Voltage To Be Applied For IR Test

The document outlines the guidelines for measuring insulation resistance in electrical machinery according to IEEE 43-2013. It specifies the appropriate DC test voltages based on the rated voltage of the winding and provides minimum insulation resistance values in mega ohms for various types of windings. Additionally, it lists the minimum polarization index values required for different thermal classes of insulation.
