Verified 2026-10-27 Confidence: Medium

In a step voltage test the direct voltage is raised in equal steps with the leakage current recorded at the end of each hold; a leakage current that rises faster than the voltage at the upper steps points to insulation weakness, whereas sound insulation shows a nearly proportional rise.
