Just out of interest.....?

Hi all,

just wondering if anyone ever uses their insulation resistance tester for a dielectric absorption ratio test if they find their test readings around 100Mohms?

LV DAR testing, normally conducted on manufactured plant etc. Some industries may make regular or periodic tests, but generally it'll not be a required test for most installations post initial commissioning and testing. Regular IR spot testing for 1 minute is more than adequate in the vast majority of cases. Only when you see good IR levels decreasing is a DAR test useful to confirm or otherwise that the insulations dielectric is breaking down...

Me wrong I was thinking of somethng else. I'm just out of bed after a week of feeling like sh1te on a stick.
