This is very helpful, thanks!

[@BARTECglobal]

Hi @impala1977. We are glad you found it useful. Thanks for watching!

[@jasonaldrich326]

Would be nice if they showed the sign on the meter...

[@IWasNoah]

pretty self explanatory

[@IWasNoah]

if you don’t know according to the IEC / ASNZS3000 it must be tested at twice rated voltage

[@davidrosas2277]

True… so far all the cables we’ve megg have tested at 660 M ohms in all our cables we have tested / installed here at my plant, which is what it shows on the megger she’s using in the demonstration, but like they said 20 M is a pass.

[@recithree]

How about verifying that the other end of wire doesn't have conductors touching.

[@chchandrasekhar3912]

What is the test voltage

[@JuanMartinez-mf5bm]

You missing make test between red circuits cables or don’t apply this tests?

[@reymondrono982]

All Wires minimum passing 20 mega Om's ?

[@shamsadeenmohamed5074]

Thanks alot..would you mind attaching a drawing for testing wirring

[@BARTECglobal]

Hi! Thank you for watching. Please use the following link to download our design guide: www.bartec.de/en/downloads/heating-technology/engineering-tools/design_guide_iecex_final.pdf In page 36 you will find the "Tests and Commissioning" section. We hope this helps!

where do I put the red and black wires for testing a cable that does not have a ground braid?

[@BARTECglobal]

Hi @ryanrahmat5980! If the cable does not have a ground braid, then one of the cable conductors might be the grounding conductor. For example, a three-wire cords contain two current-carrying (Hot & Neutral) conductors and a grounding conductor. Check the cable type and please note, for single conductor non-shielded cables, insulation resistance testing cannot be performed because low voltage single conductors do not have a grounding conductor, shield or ground plane. Hope this helps and thank you for watching!

[@___Q-bot]

does anyone know what is the kind of the reel of red cable? is it for electricity or signals?

[@arisan4567]

It's better if you show the results of your testing in the video

[@BARTECglobal]

Hi @arisan4567 You are right! We are taking notes for future videos. Thank you for watching and for sharing your feedback.

Doesn't mention what this test is for? We know but you have to mention this of you're explaining it.

[@IAmThe_RA]

To find out whether wires have the expected resistance value. Insufficient resistance means the wire insulation is bad and needs to be ditched as there risk of a ground fault or short circuit which can start a fire.

[@Aquariun9iteMMare]

Let me guess... you're asking for a friend?

[@moristaneo9447]

you need to inject test also line to line and line1 to ground and line2 to gound. not only direct line1,2 to ground. need to separate

[@BARTECglobal]

Hi! Thank you for watching the video. Most Meg sheets list L1-G, L2-G, but if they pass together they’ll pass separately.

[@IAmThe_RA]

​@@BARTECglobalwhat is her IG?

[@bennyb6071]

interesting, didnt know you can megger semi conductors

[@shahbazsindhu6616]

No it's was wrong because you are missing something. After testing must discharge cable...

[@ibnuabassmohammed8474]

Please you are too fast We are learning from it Next video slowly and let's see the values recorded too

Women test 😊

[@tfun101]

I’m sorry I don’t agree…we had 2 raychem techs come out to our site and Megger all of our heat trace. I worked with them for 3 days megging countless heat trace. I was told the minimum is 1 Giga Ohm of resistance “phase” to ground. They said specifically anything below 60 Mohms requires a level 2 diagnostic which is going out into the field and opening boxes to look for the problem. 20 ohms to them is a huge problem. With all do respect..what the f*ck are you talking about.

[@joshuaboehler]

She said 20mega Ohm's not 20 ohm's. 20 ohm's is basically a dead short.

[@tfun101]

@@joshuaboehler20 mohms, 20 ohms it doesn’t matter my guy. Read what I said.

[@champ8605]

Depends on the voltage used for testing. They most likely tested upwards of 5kv whilst this test was under 500v. You're clearly not an electrician and dont know what you're talking about.

[@tfun101]

@@champ8605 Most likely tested upwards of 5kv? 🤣. You’re sooo clueless bro..

You were also told, face mask and vaccines would help stop/spread covid from “qualified” people… moral of the story, not every “professional” gives the right info

[@acefuellas2137]

why 550 meg is always the reading of a good insulation

[@ducatininja3866]

Ive recently run 140mts of heat trace. I did a test and getting more than 20 megaohms. However when the heat trace is turned on its drawing 54amps. Any suggestions?

[@Chevroletcelebrity]

no

[@CaltaTomas]

no :(

Waste of time.
