What about 5KV or 10KV flash testers being used in the wrong situations?
Flash testing (AKA Dielectric Strength testing / Hi-POT testing) is done
by manufacturers as part of their 'out the door' production checks.
The IET code recommends NOT doing this as part of a user testing
programme, for guidence will be required from the manufacturer for
precautions applying the test AND the flash testing itself may encorage
after failure of the insulation.
