NORMAL MODE CONFIGURATION

 

In this configuration the 

Return

 and 

Ground

 is connected together with an external jumper or a 

switch internal to the Test Set, depending on the design.  Nothing is connected to the 

Guard

.  

Both stray leakage to earth ground and

 

leakage through the Test Specimen is indicated

 

on the 

current meter.  This configuration should be used if it is not possible to isolate the return side of 
the Test Specimen from earth ground.
