(2) Immersion A test specimen of about 600 mm in length shall be ‘taken for the immersion test from a lot of cable which has passed the spark test. The ineulator at the both ends for a length of e about 26 mm of the specimen shall be torn off, and the bare conductor twisted, and as shown in Fig. 1, the central part of the specimen, for a length of 300 mm, shall be immersed in 5 % salt water, After immersion for § h, an AC voltage of 60 or 60 Hz c/s and nearly sinusoidal wave shall be applied between the conductor and earth. The voltage shall be gradually increased up to 1000 V, and kept at this value for 1 min for withstand test. Fig. 1.
