Page 5: Product Information
DESCRIPTION The PM15-2/PM15-4 unit is capable of producing regulated voltages as high as 15 kV DC into a variety of insulated electrical apparatus. The unit will measure leakage current flow through (or insulation resistance levels of) the ground insulation of the test sample. Leakage current as low as .01 microamperes DC and as high as 2,000 microamperes (4,000A - PM15-4) DC can be... -

Page 10: Input/Output Connections
CONTROLS AND CONNECTIONS INPUT/OUTPUT CONNECTIONS Return: Leakage current or insulation resistance values associated with this terminal is measured by the “DC Microammeter”. The low potential side of the test specimen should be connected to this terminal (red cable provided). When guard is not activated (switch not depressed), the return terminal is connected internally to ground. -
Page 11: Set Up And Operation Instructions
SET UP AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS SET UP Set up the unit as follows: 1. Turn the main “Power” switch off (push button out position, non-illuminated). 2. Turn the “High Voltage” power switch off (push button out position, non-illuminated). 3. Make necessary grounding connections. 4. - Page 12 SET UP AND OPERATION INSTRUCTION TEST LEAD CONNECTIONS (continued) 3. Any current flowing through the test lead attached to the “Return” terminal on the unit will always be measured by the “DC Microammeter” if the “Guard” switch is activated (illuminated), unless the specimen return is not isolated from ground in which case the currentmenter will be inoperative.
- Page 13 SET UP AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS OPERATION (continued) Example: If 2kV is read on the voltmeter and you are drawing 50 A, the resistance would be 40 megohms. 2000V Formula: 40,000,000 .00005A NOTE: Be sure that the “Guard” switch is in the desired position. Certain test conditions may require that leakage currents associated with the “Ground”...
- Page 14 SET UP AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS NOTES CONCERNING THE USE GUARD AND GROUND NORMAL MODE CONFIGURATION In this configuration the Return and Ground is connected together with an external jumper or a switch internal to the Test Set, depending on the design. Nothing is connected to the Guard. Both stray leakage to earth ground and leakage through the Test Specimen is indicated on the current meter.
- Page 15 SET UP AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS GUARD MODE CONFIGURATION In this configuration the Guard and Ground is connected together with an external jumper or a switch internal to the Test Set, depending on the design. Any current associated with the Return is indicated on the current meter.
