For those who frequent this forum you'll recall I just did a megger test on some heat trace cables. All the cables passed but I wanted to play with this megger some more as I've owned it for three years and this is the first time I'm using it. So, I grabbed some twisted 18/2 bell wire and tested it at 1000v's, it passed with over 1g's. I then stripped an inch of each conductor and put them as close to each other as I could without them touching. I still got over 1g @ 1000v's. Is this a valid result? How would I actually test this megger to see if it actually works?
