IR test bellow 1Meg

Is it dangerous a low reading such as 1Kohm for IR I know you need to seriously investigate but if a 3 phase submersible pump is installed correctly wouldn’t the breakers/ fuses blow before the equipment is unsafe. 


230/1000 =0.23ma?

  • Both in parallel. So when we mean two separate faults we mean bad IR as well as a loose or disconnecting earth. If it’s connected to earth properly would it be a real cause for concern as body’s resistance is 1000ohms approx? Thanks for your detailed replies guys. Suppose best idea is to barrier off and label till a replacement is in place.
