Figures 8 and 9 show the connection for testing insulation from a supply
conductor to a ground (motor frame). The connection to the guard
terminal is used to eliminate the effects of surface leakage across
exposed insulation at one end of the cable. Refer to the section "Utilizing
the Guard Terminal." The cable should be disconnected at both ends to
avoid leakage through switchboards and panels.
