When completing a dc insulation test of large capacitive loads, the following
steps are recommended for the protection of both the user and the equipment.
Note: upon completion of test, step 1 is automatically done for you.
1. Ramp voltage down to zero (0) and press STOP. (Note: current meter values
may display as red-colored negatives; this is normal during this time.)
2. Secure a tested, hand-held, resistive grounding (shorting) stick.
3. Using the hand-held grounding stick, bleed down the charged cable or other
capacitive load. This eliminates the unnecessary discharge of a high capacitive
cable back into the high voltage section of the 800PL unit when the HIGH
VOLTAGE OFF pushbutton is pressed.
4. Place a solid earth connection before touching the sample.
