    Contactor. Proving dead . 3 phase .

    When working in a control panel. If I needed to replace a 3 phase contactor do I need to carry out a 10point check to prove dead on just the mains isolator. Or do I need to 10point check the mains isolator and then another 10point check on the contactor before removing. Many thanks

I then used a multimeter to check these results as I was expecting a potential difference of 230V between Supply side and dead side...
