Students training aid for testing insulation resistance of complete domestic dwelling. Demonstration shows how to set up your Megger MFT tester and carry out an insulation resistance test live conductors (line and neutral) to earth and between live conductors. Test voltage is 500V d.c. and the minimum acceptable value according to BS 7671 is 1 megohms for the whole instillation with further investigation when the reading falls below 2 megohms. Also shows and explains the need to switch both 2 way switches into the other on position and repeat the insulation resistance test. Removing of all loads and leaving switches in the on position. 🔔 Subscribe for more free electrical training videos https://youtube.com/c/GSHElectrical?sub_confirmation=1 == 🕐 Time Stamps - Cut to the action 🕕 == 00:00 - Insulation resistance test 00:34 - Continuity of CPC test leaving all circuits on and all loads removed 01:19 - Returning connections in the consumer unit to the correct torque settings 02:02 - BS 7671 states insulation resistance test is to be carried out between live conductors and live conductors to earth 03:22 - Setting up a Megger MFT tester to carryout insulation resistance test 04:21 - Insulation resistance test live conductors (line and neutral) together to earth 06:03 - Insulation resistance test between live conductors (line and neutral) 06:53 - Remember to operate 2 way and 2 way and intermediate switches and repeat the test again as stated in the On-Side Guide 🔵 AM2 or AM2S Insulation Resistance Testing of 2 Way and Intermediate Switching Using Guidance Notes 3 https://youtu.be/9AjyWl_2bds Videos are training aids for City and Guilds (C and G) and EAL courses Level 1, 2, 3 plus AM2, AM2S and AM2E.
