8.4 Test the insulation resistance
SIMOTICS M-1FE2 built-in motors

Measures on overshooting or undershooting the critical insulation resistance
If the critical insulation resistance is less than or equal to this value, then the windings must
be dried or, if the fan is removed, cleaned thoroughly and dried.
Note
Lower resistance
Note that the insulation resistance of dried, clean windings is lower than that of warm
windings. The
correct insulation resistance must be achieved for a winding that has been
cooled down to room temperature (approx. 20
... 30 °C).
