Routine safety tests

If routine tests are to be made, we recommend a test of the integrity of the

 

protective 

earth conductor and an insulation test at 500 Vdc.  Routine flash tests are not 
recommended for any electrical equipment, because repeated high voltage tests 
degrade insulation materials.
