Launch Interactive Practice Room An insulation resistance test is performed on a particular piece of electric equipment. In addition to the resistance reading, what information listed below should be entered in the electrical log?
A
The maximum allowable operating temperature of the machine.
B
The temperature of the machine at the time the resistance reading was taken.
✓ Correct Answer
C
The normal temperature rise of the machine.
D
The complete nameplate data from the resistance test instrument used to obtain the reading.
USCG NMC Regulatory Explanation
Insulation resistance drops significantly as temperature increases (approximately halving for every 10°C rise). Recording machine operating temperature during a Megger test is mandatory to normalize readings against standard reference baselines (minimum 1 Megohm).
