Automatic short circuit tester control device.

摘要

A method and apparatus for testing the insulation between a conductor (2) and ground (4) by means of a device (50) having two input terminals for measuring the resistance between the conductor (2) and ground (4), by: connecting one terminal of the device (50) to ground (4); testing the continuity of the connection established between the one terminal of the device (50) and ground (4); connecting the other terminal of the device (50) to the conductor (2); applying a voltage between the conductor (2) and ground (4) and measuring the resistance therebetween while the voltage is being applied; and after the step of applying a voltage and measuring the resistance, conductively connecting the conductor (2) to ground (4) for discharging any charge capacitively stored in the conductor (2).
