Step 17
Elevate the platform to at least 4 feet above the
ground. Visually check that all jumpers, the
voltage source from the dielectric tester, and the
return are still connected once the unit is in
position.
Step 18
Plug in and turn on the dielectric tester. Raise
the voltage control to the required voltage listed
on the test sheet. Monitor the volt and current
meters to verify that the test is working correctly.
If the current meter value stays below the Max
Leakage continue the test until it is complete,
record readings, return the voltage control to 0,
turn off and unplug the dielectric machine.
If the current meter value exceeds the Max
Leakage at any point during the test, return the
voltage control to 0, turn off and unplug the
dielectric machine. Begin troubleshooting to
determine why the single stick control handle will
not pass the dielectric test.
