Tech Tips
Step 1
In the interest of safety, the dielectric testing
area should be separated from the normal work
area by means of a barrier to keep anyone
unassociated with the procedure out of the
testing area. If a barrier is not available, use a
spotter(s). The AC Dielectric Tester voltage
source should also be contained within this area.
The test area must be free of any obstructions
both on the ground and above/around the unit.
The boom must not be near any trees, buildings
or energized power lines when elevated for
testing.
