A POINT ON TESTING
l
When installations incorporating electronic devices of the semi-conductor type are being tested, care must normally be taken to ensure that they are not
subjected to the output voltage of an insulation tester. However, dimmer switches complying with BS 5518 will not be damaged by the application of a
normal 500V insulation resistance test. In all other cases where electronic items are fitted, they should be disconnected whilst the insulation of the installation
is tested. A notice, drawing attention to the fact that electronic devices are incorporated in the installation, should always be affixed at the intake position.
This also applies to any neon indicators fitted.
