Hipot data? That is an oxymoron. A hipot test, also known as dielectric breakdown, is a simple test: Apply high voltage to the insulation barrier of the DUT and ensure there is no breakdown. It is a ...

Your client has asked that you perform hipot testing on your PCB and on the cable assemblies of your design. What are the three common hipot tests and what do they measure? This particular hipot test ...

To meet the requirements of your electrical safety testing applications, you can choose from a variety of instruments and systems that perform hipot, insulation-resistance (IR), ground-resistance, and ...

The High Voltage, Inc. VLF series of AC Hipots enables utilities to economically AC field-test cables and electrical apparatus instead of DC testing. A VLF unit is an AC hipot with a 0.1 Hz or lower ...

Omnia II Model 8204 is the second generation of AssociatedResearch's electrical safety compliance analyzers. The 8204 is a 4-in-1 unitthat offers AC hipot, DC hipot, insulation resistance, and ground ...

When a crew employed by a local electric utility set out to conduct a DC hi-pot test on a new circuit breaker, the task seemed like nothing more than a routine call. Unfortunately, the events that ...

Insulation resistance testing is inarguably valuable, but for the most part it depends upon relative measurements. A single measurement by itself can reveal a gross failure, but it’s not going to tell ...
