Measuaring motor insulation using HI POT tester

What is HI-POT tester? When we need to evaluate motor condition,HI-POT tester or High Potential tester is the common equipment are used.As we know,a multimeter or ohm meter reading only can determine if a motor winding is open or shorted but cannot checked winding insulation condition if shorted with ground or phase. The main purpose [...]
