Why is it that polarization index type test is required for MV and HV motors and not for LV motors..

The polarisation index is used to check the insulation of
MV and HV motors because it is more accurate. Also it
allows a lower voltage than the working voltage of the
motor to be used. In LV motors the megger test is usually
twice the working voltage. If this was used on an 11kv
motor the megger would need to be 22kv.

Answer / cr

As we r letting high current pass through the winding using ht megger,there by improving I.R because the heat produced and the ir ratio for 10 to 1 minute should be around 2.otherwise the insulation can be said to be contaminated with foreign meterial , this check is priority for ht motors

We know that, in case if there is a faulty insulation,or sc, the current is bypassed to earth through the earth wire that has low resistance.Actually, what will happen to that current that flows through gnd?In that case,if we come in contact with that faulty appliance, wont that current flow through us as we form a closed path by standing in gnd?Is grounding a safety measure?
