Scope —Covers method of determination of insulation 15S Sinty and insulation resistance constant of the dielectri Current method. 2. Signi cance — The dielectric material in a cable is use perp ptable mechanical, chemical and heat resisting properties. non-uniformities may develop in the di Romterial or in the form of mechanical imperfections in the di Cable. This test helps in detecting these imperfections. 3. Terminology — See 1S : 1885 ( Part 32) - 1971 ‘Electrotect Conductors and accessories for electricity supply". 4, Apparatus 4.1 Supply — 500 4: 50 V oF 800 + 30 V de of adequate stabilit supply shall be earthed, 4.2 Voltmeter — Suitable to measure the above voltages. 4,3 Screened Leads 4.4 Suitable Switch — For control of the above voltage. 4.5 Galvanometer — Sensitivity 10-!
