progresses. NOTE: Any excessive or non-linear increase in leakage
current can indicate imminent cable failure. Discontinue the test and, SAES-P-107

where the calculated leakage resistance decreases approximately 50% or
more of that of the next lower voltage, discontinue the test to prevent SAES-P-107
