Limit values for the winding insulation resistance
The following table lists the measuring voltage and limit values for the insulation resistance R

.
These values correspond to recommendations provided in IEC60034-27-4.

T = measurement/winding temperature in°C
The values apply for the complete winding to ground. Twice the minimum values apply to the
measurement of individual assemblies.
• Dry, new windings have an insulation resistance of between 100...2000MΩ, or possibly
even higher values. An insulation resistance value close to the minimum value could be due
to moisture and/or dirt accumulation. The size of the winding, the rated voltage and other
characteristics inuence the insulation resistance, and may need to be taken into account
when determining measures.
• Over its operating lifetime, the motor winding insulation resistance can drop due to ambient
and operational inuences.
– Calculate the critical insulation resistance value depending on the rated voltage by
multiplying the rated voltage (kV) by the specic critical resistance value.
– Convert the value for the current winding temperature at the time of measurement, see
above table.
