Insulation Resistance is specified for open medium-voltage and high-voltage air switches in maintenance testing at clause 7.5.1.3.B.3 of ANSI/NETA MTS-2023. The clause calls for a one-minute insulation-resistance test on each pole, phase-to-phase and phase-to-ground, at the manufacturer's test voltage.

Value: open medium-voltage and high-voltage air switches
