4 Polarity test
Where the rules forbid the installation single pole switching devices the neutral
conductor, test polarity shall made verify that all such devices are connected the
phase only.3.1, is
satisfactory each circuit, with the appliances disconnected, has insulation resistance not less
than the appropriate value given Table 9.1 when loaded with mA.VERIFICATION ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT AND INSTALLATION 85
The insulation resistance, measured with the test voltage values indicated Table 9.1, with the appliances, far possible, connected. The resistance values obtained shall in
accordance with Table 9. alternative compliance may verified by
measurement the resistance protective conductors.
9.0
Measurement shall carried out with direct current.
9.1.5 Automatic disconnection supply
The verification the efficacy the measures for protection against indirect contact by
automatic disconnection supply effected follows:
a) For systems
Compliance with the rules for systems shall verified by:
1) measurement the loop impedance.
Note: This precaution necessary because carrying out the test without connection between live conductors
could cause damage electronic devices. The testing apparatus shall capable
of supplying the test voltage specified Table 9.3.
