Does High Voltage Testing Damage A Motor?

Motor Insulation Life Curve

Maintenance professionals tasked with maintaining electric motor reliability are often concerned with testing their critical motors at voltages well above nameplate levels. It can certainly feel counterintuitive to test a 460V motor to 2,000V or a 4,160V motor to 9,320V. After all, the motor is only rated for this lower voltage, right?
