What three leads are on a Megger?

Earth, Guard, Positive or Negative.

I got this one wrong and did massive research. Pick Three

P.I. of 1.4, Do you continue?

The ones you think are easy are worded to make you think or over think.

Electro Mechanical Relay Protection is set at a value of .2 (200ms) of one another. Is this acceptable? Oh by the way, these are critical loads.

This is a great example of why it is very important to read and think about the question before answering.

Reducing Ground Resistance to 5 Ohms, Think about it 5 Ohms? It can be reduced but not to an specific value.

Does an unbalance of 10% "ruin" motors?

It will not ruin it but if it is more than 10% it will.

Hi,

Can you please explain these 3 more in detail. Thanks

Reducing Ground Resistance to 5 Ohms, Think about it 5 Ohms? It can be reduced but not to an specific value.

You can lower a ground reading, but getting it to an exact value would be near impossible. There are too many variables at play.


NETA Reference for a Molded Case Breaker. Pole to Ground

Assuming molded case breaker is 600V then 100 Megohms - NETA ATS/MTS Table 100.1 Insulation Resistance Test Values Electrical Apparatus and Systems Other Than Rotating Machinery. http://testguy.net/content/240-Insul...ce-Test-Values

Cable Bus Facts

Not sure what the question is.

Lol. I asked this question almost 2 years ago.
