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

I am new guy as an electrical engr. in a 100MW HFO based power project. I am in operations division. I have noticed from last few days, my supervisor sends the last 24 hours energy generation calculation to my plant manager. I have noticed, he calculated last 24 hour's generated energy differences in KWH then he multiplied it with a multiplying factor 960. for example: total difference =2.685 KWH*960= 2577.6 MWH. but he does not not know what is multiplying factor 960?? can anybody explain it??
