I have a 4160V squirrel cage motor with Class B insulation. The motor is operated very infrequently (about once every two months) for testing and is only needed as a backup. I have situations where this motor is idled for several months at a time and I would like to know when (after a period of how many weeks/months) I should perform an IR test prior to operating the motor? Also, are there any standards that discuss this type of situation?
