How do you use multimeter to test insulation test?

To test insulation using a multimeter, set the device to the insulation resistance mode, often labeled as "MΩ" (megaohms). Connect the multimeter leads to the conductor and the ground or casing of the equipment you are testing. Activate the insulation test, allowing the multimeter to apply a high voltage (typically 250V, 500V, or 1000V) to measure the resistance. A reading above the manufacturer's specified minimum (usually 1 MΩ or higher) indicates good insulation, while lower values suggest potential insulation failure.
