3.2.18 Dielectric Strength
3–20
IRIG-B is a standard time code format that allows stamping of events to be synchronized
among connected devices within 1 millisecond. The IRIG time code formats are serial,
width-modulated codes which can be either DC level shifted or amplitude modulated (AM).
Third party equipment is available for generating the IRIG-B signal; this equipment may use
a GPS satellite system to obtain the time reference so that devices at different geographic
locations can also be synchronized.

Dielectric strength test was performed on the 745 relay at the manufacturer. It is not
necessary to perform this test again at the customer site. However, if you wish to perform
this test, follow instructions outlined in Dielectric Strength Testing on page 7–6.
