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

View all my tutorials and videos: https://www.youtube.com/user/mjlorton... ----------------------------- 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.
