Notes:
1. In the absence of consensus standards dealing with insulation-resistance tests, the NETA Standards Review
Council suggests the above representative values.
2. See Table 100.14 for temperature correction factors.
3. Test results are dependent on the temperature of the insulating material and the humidity of the surrounding
environment at the time of the test.
4. Insulation-resistance test data may be used to establish a trending pattern. Deviations from the baseline
information permit evaluation of the insulation.
5. For rotating machinery insulation-resistance test values, refer to Table 100.11.
6. For medium-voltage cables, the values shown are typical. Conductor and insulation geometry, temperature, and
overall cable length, need to be taken into account per manufacturers published data for definitive minimum
insulation resistance criteria.
