why we are using DC supply in megger?
Answers were Sorted based on User's Feedback
As we know DC current is uni-directional.The deflection
system attached to the megger is generally PMMC type which
eorks only with DC. Another reason is when DC current flows
in the winding of a motor or transformer the capacitance and
inductance do not act upon the current and the only leakage
current that flows through the insulation is measured.This
gives faster and accurate measurement.If we use an AC megger
the reading will be erroneous because the capacitance of
winging will allow to flow high current and breakdown of
insulation will not occur due to alternating action of
current.

Answer / abaya
We can create voltage like 5kv,1kv,using DC but we can not produce that type of voltage using Ac because it require more space as compare to Megger.

Further you maintain potential difference for a substantial
period,which is possible with DC

Equal resistance of 100ohm each are connected to the arms of whestons bridge, which is supplied by 2v battery. The galvanometer can sense a current low as 1microAmp. What is the smallest resistance that can be measered.
I need to compare the energy consumption of an industrial machine before and after improving. Shall I compare the apparent power or the active power? I know usually factories use compensated capacitors (or other similar components) to compensate the reactive power, so if I use the apparent power, it's not the real power consumed.
generally on the roadside v hav 11kv line which is being step down to 440v line to line....so any1 can tell me which type of transformer they r using whether it is star to delta,delta to star etc...???
