OPERATOR MANUAL
The shields of all cables must be securely tied to
ground at the nearest end of the cable.
4. Any conductors or wires in the cable or the vicinity not being tested must be
grounded to avoid a buildup of charge and possible shock hazard.
5. Voltage must be applied according to specifications from the cable manufacturer or
any other applicable test standards
6. Prior to connecting anything to the test sample, be sure the test sample is
identified, de-energized and grounded until ready to test.
7.
Connect the input power
cable to a grounded, 50/60 Hz source as noted in
SETTING UP THE EQUIPMENT. A generator is an acceptable power source.
8. Connect the output lead to the test sample. Be sure that there is enough clearance
to grounded objects for the expected test voltage. The minimum clearance in air is
10 kV ac/inch.
9. Turn on the MAIN POWER switch near input power receptacle.
***CAUTION***
POTENTIALLY LETHAL
VOLTAGES MAY BE PRESENT
STORED ENERGY LEVELS IN THE CABLE GREATLY
INCREASE THE RISK OF FATAL INJURY IF CONTACT
IS MADE WITH THE LOAD WHILE AT ANY VOLTAGE.
10. Clear the test area of unauthorized personnel and use safety barricades to
warn others of potential danger during the high voltage test.
