The Mercotronic tester on leakage test has 300v DC with 60Hz ripple in it. This is applied to the condencer, & the meter reads the current through it. Basicly the current on the meter goes high at the start of the test, then should drop back to the ok part of the scale. If it goes hard over & stays there its shorted. If theres no reading its open circuit. This basic description is from the US patent notes for a Mercotronic tester.
