What should the voltage adjustment be set to when measuring across the terminals of the isolator during testing?

When measuring voltage across the terminals of an isolator during testing, setting the voltage adjustment to 0.50 volts is optimal for several reasons.

First, this voltage level is high enough to ensure that any potential voltage drop across the isolator's terminals can be accurately measured. An insufficiently low voltage might not reveal significant issues with the isolator, as it may not stress the components sufficiently to produce a measurable drop, leading to inconclusive test results.

Second, 0.50 volts is a common threshold used in electrical testing to characterize performance accurately. It balances sensitivity and responsiveness, allowing for the detection of minor discrepancies that could indicate faults, resistance issues, or other abnormalities in the isolator.

In contrast, higher voltages may lead to false readings due to electrical noise or may even damage sensitive components in the circuit being tested. Therefore, 0.50 volts provides an effective compromise, enabling reliable testing while minimizing the risk of damaging connected components or obtaining skewed results due to excessive voltage.
