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 ...

As DC high-potential testing starts to show its age, test methods recommended by IEEE are ready to fill the void For many years, high-voltage DC testing has been the traditionally accepted method to ...

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 ...

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 ...

Hipot testers are used to measure the leakage current and insulation resistance between all components and connections, verify solid ground connections, and test ground bonds. These tests include the ...

Testing medium-voltage (MV) cables with the high-potential (“hi-pot”) test is typically part of an MV cable testing program. In Parts 4 and 5, we looked at the DC and AC versions of this test. The ...

This article describes Chroma’s 19055 series of Hipot Analyzers developed for hipot tests and analysis applications. The analyzers are equipped with new measurement technologies, such as Corona ...

High Voltage, Inc., a USA test equipment manufacturer based in upstate New York, announces a new CE marked portable ac hipot for testing switchgear, vacuum interrupters and other electrical apparatus.
