PRODUCT INFORMATION
CAUTION: Contact with the test leads on this equipment can cause
harmful or fatal electrical shock. Do not touch test leads while a test is in
process.
SAFETY AND CAUTION NOTES
1. Contact with the test leads on this equipment can cause harmful or fatal electrical shock. Do
not touch test leads while a test is in process.
2. Insure that the unit is properly grounded before proceeding with a test.
3. Turn the unit off before reaching inside. Damage to the unit and hazardous shock to
personnel will result if this procedure is not followed.
4. Insure that the equipment to be tested is de-energized and properly isolated.
5. Insure that the equipment to be tested has been properly grounded using a high voltage
grounding stick and rubber gloves.
6. Insure that barriers and warning signs are erected in order that personnel in the test area are
protected. Use an assistant operator where appropriate to keep non-essential personnel
away from the test site.
7. When testing cables, the conductors at the distant end should be isolated from each other
and taped.
8. When testing a faulted cable, it is advisable to first make an insulation resistance
measurement before proceeding with the high voltage test.
9. Use care to avoid damaging the unit during disassembly and re-assembly procedures.
10. This unit should only be operated by someone familiar with high voltage testing and safety
procedures.
DESCRIPTION
The PM15-2/PM15-4 unit is capable of producing regulated voltages as high as 15 kV DC into a
variety of insulated electrical apparatus. The unit will measure leakage current flow through (or
insulation resistance levels of) the ground insulation of the test sample. Leakage current as low
as .01 microamperes DC and as high as 2,000 microamperes (4,000A - PM15-4) DC can be
read directly from the units front panel meter. Insulation resistance values up to 3,000,000
megohms may also be read directly at test voltages of 5, 10 or 15 kV DC.
