Why is Insulation Temperature Correction Important

Motor Talk

One of the most widely known test methods applied to electric motors is the resistance to ground (RTG) test. It is commonly referred to as a “megger” test, because one of the meg-ohmmeter manufacturers, Biddle, named their product a “Megger,” and the name stuck. Biddle is now called Megger. Resistance to ground testing can be performed by standalone instruments and is incorporated in types of equipment that provide comprehensive motor testing as part of their suite of tests.

First, if you are new to infrared and think you might have the need for an optional lens, know that not all camera models are designed to support that feature.  This is an important consideration when budgeting for the purchase of a new infrared camera. Know what camera models provide that option and know how much to budget for this added feature.
