INSULATION BREAKDOWN/LEAKAGE (CONT)

Twenty-five hundred volts dc exist at the AN/GSM-6 and test cable stub test leads during

testing. Don't take chances. Be careful. Death or serious injury may result if you are not

careful.

CAUTION

If DC OVERLOAD indicator on the AN/GSM-6 lights up, stop test because you have a bad

cable.

Whenever you stop the test, YOU must always do a complete Stopping Procedure as

outlined in TM 11-6625-273-12.

NOTE

During the 1 minute you are applying 2500 vdc, which should yield a 2.5 kilovolt reading

(1), observe the MICROAMPERES (2) meter. If leakage current reaches 50

microampere (3), you have a bad cable. Stop test.

If second coaxial cable passes test voltage for 1 minute, stop applying voltage and do a

complete Stopping Procedure.
