Standard & Methodology:

#. Criteria
A. Bangladesh National Building Code 2020.
B. NETA MTS-2007 – Appropriate Sections.

#. Details Insulation Resistance Measurement Procedure:

► Work on de-energized circuits.
► Use proper lock-out/tag-out procedures.
► Use insulated tools.
► Remove watches or other jewelry.
► Wear properly graded electrical gloves (preferably leather made).
► Wear shoes or boots that have been approved for electrical work.
► Wear hard hat.

► Never connect the insulation tester to energized conductors and always follow the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Before measuring in order to obtain meaningful insulation resistance measurement, the engineer and electrician should carefully
examine the system under test carefully.
► The Insulation Resistance (IR) test shall be accomplished for Low, Medium and High Voltage Circuits & Apparatus by:
a) Using Direct Indicating Ohm-Meter of the Generator Type called Meggar.
b) Applying DC potential as
i) Circuits below 230 volts (P-N & P-E): 500 volts.
ii) Circuits between 230-400 volts (P-P): 1000 volts
iii) For Nominal Rating, 11000 volts (P-P): 2500 volts
► For all Low, Medium and High Voltage cables, the IR Test shall be conducted:
a) Keeping the ends of each cable disconnected,
b) In between P-P, P-N & P-E.

8.Disclaimer :

The result found in this test is satisfactory and is instantanous value. This value may very depends on time. Insulation Resistance of power cable at
in KSI-GMT may deteriorate over time & other factor

9.Conclusion :
Insulation resistance of power cables of was found to be within standard values. No unexpected values were found in the meter readings
while measuring cable resistance. We didn't face any problems while measuring the cable resistance so the job was done well.

The End
