megged a 50hp 480/3/60 motor (each phase to ground) and the megger would not stabilize. It just dropped in increments: .8Mohm,.6Mohm,.4Mohm,.2Mohm then stay at 0 while continuously holding the test button. I could hold the test button until it starts dropping and then it would just indicate one of the 4 figures depending on when I released the test button. When I opened the motor electrical box there was water in there, am I looking at a fried motor. Seems the megger was indicating a short from ground to any of the phases. Sorry if this is confusing.
thanks
