Cable and Motor Insulation Checks

1.Motor cable insulation checks

Disconnect the motor cable from terminals U, V and W of the drive and from the motor. Measure the insulation resistance of the motor cable between each phase conductor as well as between each phase conductor and the protective ground conductor.

The insulation resistance must be at least 1 – 2MΩ.

2.Mains cable insulation checks

Disconnect the mains cable from terminals L1, L2 and L3 of the drive and from the mains. Measure the insulation resistance of the mains cable between each phase conductor as well as between each phase conductor and the protective ground conductor.

The insulation resistance must be at least 1 – 2MΩ.

3.Motor insulation checks

Disconnect the motor cable from the motor and open the bridging connections in the motor connection box. Measure the insulation resistance of each motor winding. The measurement voltage must equal at least the motor nominal voltage but not exceed 1000V. The insulation resistance must be at least 1 – 2MΩ.
