Are you allowed to have the math formulas in front of you while you take the test? I don’t know how I’d remember all of them off the top of my head

[@testingtechtips]

They provide a formula sheet which covers almost everything. There were at least two questions on the level 4 exam I took that didn't have a formula provided though.

You mention in your video in passing that "we short windings for power factor but not for Megger"... Would you mind elaborating? Ty ...I am Nicet lvl 2.

[@testingtechtips]

That's actually a great question with a long-winded answer (maybe worthy of its own video).
The short version is that the megger or DC insulation resistance test uses DC which flows through the winding. Power Factor is an AC test; there's a significant amount of inductive impedance between phases at 60Hz, so to penetrate the winding with your test voltage you have to short them to apply the same voltage on each phase to cancel out most of the impedance between phases. When we're performing the megger test, we're applying DC so there isn't any inductive impedance. XL=2πfL so if f=0 then XL=0.
