Do I Need Megohm Testing?
Megohm testing is a process that measures extremely high resistance, in the millions of ohms, using specialized megohmmeters. Unlike standard multimeters, megohmmeters apply high voltages (500-1000 volts) to assess the insulation quality of wires. This testing is crucial for identifying compromised insulation, which can occur due to age, fire, flood, or physical damage. Proper insulation prevents wires from grounding or shorting, ensuring safety and equipment protection.
If your wiring has been exposed to such conditions or is very old, megohm testing can provide peace of mind.
