Observed limits for insulation measurement
- For new plants (dry rooms): 1000 ohms x volts of operating voltage (eg at 230 volts> 230 kOhms)
- For new installations (wet rooms, outdoors): 500 ohms x volts of operating voltage
- Earthed devices: 1000 ohms x volts of operating voltage
- Protected devices: 2 MOhm
- Power tools: 2 MOhm
- Protective extra-low voltage: 250 kOhm
- Electrical measuring devices: 5 MOhm
- Common test voltage values are 100 volts for low voltage and telecommunication systems, 500 volts for building installation and home appliances, 1000 volts for low voltage motors and transformers
