IEC 61730 Dielectric Withstand Test on PV Modules
UL 1703, IEC 61646, IEC 61215 and IEC 61730 prescribe safety and durability testing. The Hipot Test is one of the safety tests required. Dielectric Withstand Test, High Potential Test and Hipot Test all refer to a test with the main purpose of testing the electrical insulating capability of the device under test, in this [...]
Developments in Hipot Testers
The hipot test—also known as flash, high-voltage, or dielectric strength test—is one of the more controversial electrical safety tests and has provoked much discussion and debate. In fact, hipot testing is not a measurement, but rather a procedure that aims to illustrate whether a product remains safe when subjected to high voltage and whether the [...]
