Re: Megohm meter
There is no reason. Windings are able to withstand a testing voltage of at least twice the operating voltage.
We test the compressor windings at 1750 volts.

Re: Megohm meter
We only should not use megohmeter when the compressor is in VACUUM. (then winding insulation will be for sure disrupted)
