  Line to line: ≤ 5 μA @ 30 V DC
  Line to ground: ≤ 5 μA @ ±160 V DC
Discharge current capacity: 10000 A (8/ 20 μsec.)
Max. load current: 100 mA
Internal series resistance: Approx. 22 Ω including return
Max. line voltage 
  Without safety approval: 30 V DC
  With safety approval: 28 V DC
Capacitance @ 1 kHz:
