What is the insulation resistance of a basic switch?
ID: FAQE20019E
update:
Answer
The insulation resistance of a basic switch indicates the resistance (1) between the same polarity terminals, (2) between the charged metal part and ground, and (3) between each terminal and the uncharged metal part.
Explanation
The insulation resistance is measured with an insulation resistance meter (Megger) between the following: two points of the same polarity terminals between COM-NO in the FP state and between COM-NC in the TTP state (in the case of the c-contact specification).

Q
What is the withstand voltage of a basic switch?
- A
The withstand voltage of a basic switch indicates the high voltage that does not break the insulation (1) between the same polarity terminals, (2) between current-carrying metal parts and grounds, and (3) between terminals and non-current-carrying metal parts.

Q
What is a non-current-carrying metal part for a basic switch?
- A
The non-current-carrying metal part is a metal part that is not directly energized.
For basic switches, levers and rivets (if applicable) are the uncharged parts.
