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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Hipot testing to all major safety standards—UL, CSA and IEC—can be performed by the Models H111 and H216 Hipot Testers. They can be used for ac and dc withstanding voltage tests of up to 6 kV on a ...

Nobody wants to build an unsafe product. To meet safety requirements such as those published by UL for the US, by CSA for Canada, and by IEC for Europe and other areas, you must perform electrical ...

Electronic products should never expose users to shock hazards. Fortunately for your product's users, regulations specify that your products pass numerous electrical-safety tests before they can ...
