A machine that has stood idle in a damp place should have its insulation

  • A.replaced entirely as a matter of routine
  • B.left alone
  • C.dried out before any high-voltage test is applied
  • D.tested at twice the normal test voltage immediately

Answer: C

Correct answer: dried out before any high-voltage test is applied

Absorbed moisture lowers the insulation resistance and provides paths for surface tracking, so applying test voltage to a damp winding may puncture insulation that would have been perfectly sound once dry. Drying and re-testing the insulation resistance and polarisation index comes first; the withstand test comes only after both are acceptable.
