In accordance with ANSI/NETA MTS-2015 standards, micro-ohm or millivolt drop values should not exceed the high levels of
the normal range as indicated in the manufacturer’s published data. If manufacturer’s data is not available, investigate any
values which deviate from adjacent poles or similar switches by more than 50% of the lowest value.
Remarks: Satisfactory
Recommended minimum Insulation Resistance based on ANSI/NETA MTS-2015 Standards for Electrical apparatus and
systems other than transformer and motor windings (20°C)
2500 VDC = 5000 MΩ
*Correction factors used are based on ANSI/NETA MTS-2015 Table 100.14.1: Insulation Resistance Conversion Factors
Test results are dependent on the temperature of the insulating material and the humidity of the surrounding environment at
the time of the test. Insulation-resistance test data may be used to establish a trending pattern. Deviations from the baseline
information permit evaluation of the insulation.
Remarks: Values marked in red font did not reach the minimum standard set by ANSI/NETA MTS-2015.

RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on the satisfactory results of contact resistance test and circuit breaker operational tests which are in line
with the standards set by ANSI/NETA MTS-2015, we conclude that the circuit breaker can be safely energized and
operated.
On the case of some values of insulation resistance not meeting the standard set by ANSI/NETA MTS-2015, further
evaluation and investigation through the analysis of the insulation resistance trend is advised. However, since we
have no previous insulation resistance test results for this particular unit, trend analysis is not possible and we can
only use the current values as baseline for future tests.
It is recommended to conduct periodic electrical testing on the unit to prevent potential problems from happening.
Generally, conducting annual electrical testing on vacuum circuit breakers is considered as good practice.
