SAFETY WARNINGS The circuit must be de-energized and isolated BEFORE connections are made for any test. Do not touch the circuit during an insulation test. After insulation tests, capacitive circuits MUST be allowed to discharge BEFORE disconnecting the test leads. Test leads, including prods and crocodile clips, must be in good order;...

To change a and turn the generator handle. A zero reading should fuse, use a screwdriver to release the centre part of result which double checks that the leads are not the holder containing the fuse.
Preventive Maintenance The proverb ‘A stitch in time saves nine’ inspired the title of an AVO International booklet on insulation testing, as it neatly sums up the benefits of preventative maintenance. The savings come in financial terms from costly repairs, lost production, lost profits and in human terms, from lives saved in the event of dangerous electrical faults.
Insulation Testing Concepts Absorption current. This current is also initially high but drops at a much slower rate than the charging Insulation resistance can be considered by applying c u r r e n t . Ohm’s Law. The measured resistance is determined from the applied voltage divided by the resultant current, Conduction or Leakage current.
