The PST-100 Spark Tester is intended to generate a high voltage discharge, it is only to be used by responsible and authorised personnel that have read and understood this manual. -
Page 7: Pst-100 Earth Terminal
The earth terminal located on the handle is a functional earth terminal, NOT a Protective Conductor Terminal as defined by IEC61010 and is intended as a high voltage return point during the operation of the PST-100. This arrangement also aids suppression of possible EMC interference. -

Double Insulation Insulation comprising both basic insulation and supplementary insulation. Below is a pictorial representation of the PST-100, detailing the functional earth terminal arrangement. -
Page 9: Calculating The Test Voltage
PST-100 Calculating the test voltage The test voltage needs to be high enough to locate a fault but not so high as to cause one. With reference to BS EN 60052:2002, (measurement of voltage with Sphere-Gaps) it can be seen that 32,000 volts will jump a gap of 1cm between spheres of 5cm diameter, however the same voltage will jump a gap of nearly 3cm between needles. -
