Insulation Resistance Test
Range Open Circuit Voltage Test Current Short Circuit Current
250 V < 300 V ≥ 1 mA for R ≤ 250 kΩ
≤ 3 mA500 V < 600 V ≥ 1 mA for R ≤ 500 kΩ
1000 V < 1200 V ≥ 1 mA for R ≤ 1 MΩ
The residual voltage present on the terminals when the yellow insulation resistance test button is
released is automatically discharged through the instrument at a rate of 1.5 s/µF into an impedance of
300 kΩ.
