    Motor Housing

    Hi all, I was told that the motor housing plays a part in containing the magnetic flux generated when the 3 phase volatge is applied to the stator. Is this true? If there is a hole in the housing (happened actually, I ahve this motor which is exposed to acid and the acid actually burnt a hole...

    Meggering Test Voltage

    Hi, it's me again.. Just like to check on something that i dun really understand.. I am asked to use a test voltage of 500V to megger the 400V breakers but use 5kV to megger 6.6kV breakers. Are the test voltages correct respectively? If it is, that why is it that we use a higher than rated...
