Page 25: Ramp Mode
5.5 Ramp Mode: The ramp mode is similar to the step voltage test but with many small tests. In this test the voltage increases continuously each second. The rate of increase of voltage is determined by the slope rate which can be set in the control window. For a slope rate of 100V/min the voltage will increase by approximately 1.67V in one second. - Page 26 You can also change the filter settings in this window (hardware filter). This filter is very ⚫ useful in noisy environments. You can also set the slope rate (voltage/min) with up and down arrows in this window. It is ⚫ the rate at which voltage will increase in the test.

Page 28: Dielectric Discharge Mode
5.6 Dielectric Discharge Mode: Dielectric discharge test is a diagnostic insulation test that allows ageing, deterioration, and voids in the insulation to be assessed. The result is dependent on the discharge characteristic which tests the internal condition of the insulation and is largely independent of surface contamination. - Page 29 To setup the basic settings of the mode press the icon. The control window will ⚫ appear as shown below. Here you can set the voltage using the voltage up and down in steps of 10V below 1000V ⚫ and in steps of 25V above 1000V. There is also a standard voltage button to set standard testing voltages (100V, 250V, 500V, 1000V, 2500V, 5000V).
