本文件描述了测量额定功率为750 W或更大的旋转电机电枢和励磁绕组绝缘电阻的推荐程序。它适用于同步电机、感应电机、直流电机和同步电容器。它不适用于分数马力的机器。 本文件还描述了旋转电机绕组的典型绝缘电阻特性，以及这些特性如何指示绕组状况。它建议交流和直流旋转电机绕组的最小可接受绝缘电阻值。 包括绝缘电阻测量信息的其他IEEE标准在第2条中列出。

This document describes a recommended procedure for measuring insulation resistance of armature and field windings in rotating machines rated 750 W or greater. It applies to synchronous machines, induction machines, dc machines, and synchronous condensers. It does not apply to fractional-horsepower machines. The document also describes typical insulation resistance characteristics of rotating machine windings and how these characteristics indicate winding condition. It recommends minimum acceptable values of insulation resistance for ac and dc rotating machine windings. Othere IEEE standards that include information on insulation resistance measurement are listed in Clause 2.
