4-3) MEASURING INSULATION RESISTANCE

Before checking insulation resistance, be sure to short- circuit the terminals of an AC receptacle using a wire to discharge the electricity remained in the circuit.

(1) Connect the megger tester across either one of the two output terminals of the AC receptacle and ground terminal to measure the insulation resistance. Measure it with the AC breaker on. An insulation resistance of 1 MΩor more is normal.

Original insulation resistance at the time of shipment from the factory is 10 MΩor more.

If it is less than 1 MΩ, disassemble the generator and measure the insulation resistance of the stator, rotor and control panel individually.
