how to calculate the megger values for motors and cables?

Answer Posted / pradyumna171

megger value of any appleance should be 2 multiply with working voltage in kv plus 1 ie a 440 volt motor should have 1.88Mohm (2* .440 +1) , it is the minimum value. And megger voltage should be twice of working voltage of appleance.

Is This Answer Correct ?    2 Yes 1 No

Assuming that a dedicated neutral earthing transformer is provided for each GT generator, when the two generators are running in parallel, has consideration been given that the earth fault current from one generator stator winding be split between the two neutral earthing transformers? If so, what adverse impact will this have on the operation of the 59N and 27TN devices?
