40、f withstanding without breakdown, for a period of 1 mm, the application of a 60 Hz voltage as shown in Table 3. The voltage shall be applied gradually starting at zero between live parts and all non-current-carrying metal parts including the metal mounting surface to which the receptacle is installe

41、d as in actual service and with a length of gas tube installed. 6.1.2 To perform the test outlined in Clause 6.1.1, two receptacles shall be mounted as intended in a sheet metal panel with a distance of 305 mm between their centres. The mounting openings in the panel shall be not more than 1.6 mm la

42、rger than the diameter of the receptacle at the point of mounting. A short length of gas tube having electrodes spaced 305 mm apart, centre to centre, shall be installed into the receptacles as far as possible and so located that they touch the walls of the receptacle. For this test the gas tube may

43、 be secured in place by one or two loops of cotton cord only.
