Welcome to PF rajpaul75.

You need a "Megger".

We don't know the specifics of your test.

I want to test a lift ac motor, if you have sample data please explain how to test
 
There are many many many things about an electric motor to test. Which one do you want to test or do you even know? Do you want a single test to say "Yes this motor is good!"?

I want to know how to do insulation test and continuity test on a 3phase motor.. If you have any website reference please guide me ..I am trying to do this first time for my practical purpose.
 
step 1: switch off the motors breaker, lock it out with your lock, tag.

step 2: check with a volt meter that all (phase to phase) and (phase to ground) readings are 0 volts.

step 3: depends on the test equipment you are going to use.

WARNING: Working with mains voltages can be lethal.
