Before performing the insulation resistance measurements, disconnect all cables and connectors from the device under test.
The insulation resistance is measured between motor terminals and the frame. When measuring the windings, the auxiliary circuits and other windings are grounded. When measuring the auxiliary circuits, all windings are grounded.
