  • Patent number: 5936419
    Abstract: Prior to beginning a dielectric withstand (leakage current) or insulative impedance test, but after applying the high voltage that will be used in the test, the temporary charging currents resulting from application of the high voltage are measured and analyzed to determine if the test sample is properly connected to the test apparatus. If no charging currents are measured, or if the insulation resistance is too high, then it is determined that the test sample is not properly connected and the test is terminated.
