(c)
Figure Q5(c) shows a without and with guard circuit of a Megger insulation
resistance instrument. The instrument supplies a test voltage of 15 kV. The
measurement without a guard terminal provides a current of 6.1 µA, while the current
decrease to 1.1 µA when using a guard terminal. Determine the following:
(i)
The volume resistance of the cable insulation, ry.
(ii)
The surface leakage resistance, rs.
(d)
Discuss the important of guard-wire method in a high resistance measurement.
