For rated voltage below 1KV, measured with a 500VDC Megger. In accordance with IEEE 43, clause 9. 3, the following formula should be applied. Example-1: For 11KV, Three Phase Motor. Example-2: For 415V,Three. Phase to phase clearance as per IEC 61439 is one of the core safety requirements in low-voltage switchgear and control gear assemblies. This standard ensures that electrical equipment operates safely under normal and abnormal conditions. Clearance values affect insulation, fault protection. This article goes into details of insulation resistance values measured by Megger tester on many different kinds of equipment, such as switchgear, electrical wires & cables, electric motors, transmission & distribution lines, and other power system equipment. The second is surface creepage, or the distance across an insulating surface. The IEC 61439. The insulation resistance values on this page are based off of representative values suggested by the NETA Standards Review Council.
