2.5.2 Testing Dielectric Strength
CAUTION
Electrical hazard – risk of damage to equipment
Before testing the dielectric strength (HIPOT), remove the metal jumper. Damage to
equipment may occur.
1. Remove the metal jumper that connects surge ground terminal and the chassis
ground terminal. This metal jumper connects transient suppression circuitry to
chassis ground and must be removed in order to avoid damage to transient sup-
pression circuitry during testing.

2. Connect one terminal from the HIPOT tester to the positive terminal and the
negative terminal. Connect the second terminal of the HIPOT tester to chassis
ground terminal. Do not connect the HIPOT tester to surge ground terminal.
3. Following the test, install the metal jumper between the surge ground terminal
and the chassis ground terminal.
