Data record instr.insulation-resistance-tester.automatic-discharge

Verified 2026-10-27 Confidence: High

A test object can hold a dangerous charge after a high-voltage insulation test, so modern testers discharge it automatically when the test runs to completion or is stopped by the operator, and the test leads stay connected until that discharge has taken place, since disconnecting them early leaves the object charged.
