Cut off the output of the withstand voltage tester. The current is placed in the appropriate gear. One end of the voltage output terminal of the withstand voltage tester is connected to the neutral wire and the live wire of the power supply. The other end is connected to accessible conductive parts. During the test, the voltage shall be gradually increased to the specified value at 5s or within 5s. So that there is no obvious jump in the voltage, and then keep it for 5s.

Set the test current to 25A. Start the tester. Record the ground impedance value after the test is completed.
6.5.5 Cleaning
If the instruments and equipment can be cleaned, clean the instruments and equipment three times. If the instruments and equipment can be sterilized, check whether they are qualified by sterilizing the instruments and equipment once. If, after processing, it is found that there are signs of moisture in the parts that may lead to danger, the instruments and equipment shall be able to pass the dielectric strength test of 6.5.2. 6.5.6 Sprinkle
Compliance is checked by visual inspection. If in doubt, pour 0.2L of water from a height of 0.1m for 15s on every part that may come into contact with electrical parts. After this treatment, the instruments and equipment shall be immediately subjected to the dielectric strength test of 6.5.2.
6.5.7 Overflow
Fill the container completely with liquid. Then use an additional volume equal to 15% of the container capacity or 0.25L. Take whichever is larger. Pour in smoothly for 60s. For instruments and equipment that may be moved after the container is filled with liquid, tilt the instruments and equipment 15° in the most unfavorable direction from its normal use position. If it is necessary to tilt in more than one direction, refill the container with liquid. After this treatment, the instruments and equipment shall be immediately subjected to the dielectric strength test of 6.5.2.
