This document provides instructions for connecting test equipment to conduct insulation testing on different cable configurations and for sheath testing. It explains that for a 3-core system or 3-core cable with separate shields on each core, all three cores can be tested at once. For a cable with a common shield, each core must be tested separately while shorting the other two cores to ground. It also describes grounding requirements when the test equipment is powered by a grounded mains socket versus an ungrounded source.
