Insulation Resistance is specified for medium-voltage and high-voltage oil circuit breakers in maintenance testing at clause 7.6.2.B.2 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 with the breaker closed and across each open pole, at the manufacturer's test voltage.

Value: medium-voltage and high-voltage oil circuit breakers
