Claim 1
Independent Claim
85 words
IN A METHOD OF TESTING ELECTRICAL INSULATION WHEREIN AN UNDESIRABLE CHARGE BUILD-UP OCCURS IN THE INSULATION DUE TO THE TESTING THEREOF, THE STEPS WHICH CONSIST OF APPLYING A PREDETERMINED DIRECT CURRENT VOLTAGE ACROSS THE INSULATION, AT SOME PREDETERMINED TIME INTERVAL AFTER THE VOLTAGE HAS BEEN APPLIED SENSING A FIRST LEVEL OF IONIZATION OCCURRING IN THE INSULATION, AND INTERRUPTING THE APPLICATION OF THE VOLTAGE PRIOR TO DISRUPTIVE BREAKDOWN OF THE INSULATION BEING TESTED IN THE EVENT THAT ONLY IONIZATION ABOVE A PREDETERMINED SECOND LEVEL IS SENSED.
