Notes to Keep in Mind when Purchasing Hipot Testers
Hipot testers are electrical safety test devices that perform electrical compliance tests. Within the general category of electrical safety testing are a variety of equipment types that are specifically designed to test for electrical compliance. The individual equipment defines the kind of test performed. Types of measurement performed by hipot testers include AC dielectric strength, [...]
What is a Hipot Test?
Many people don’t know what Hipot Testing is so I’ll briefly explain it.
Most people know what a continuity test is. A continuity test checks for good connections. Continuity tests are done by seeing if currents flow from point to point. If the currents flows easily the points are connected. “Hipot” is short for high [...]
Hipot Testing Criteria IEC 61646 10.3
10.3 Insulation test
10.3.1 Purpose
To determine whether or not the module is sufficiently well insulated between current carrying parts and the frame or the outside world.
10.3.2 Apparatus
a) A d.c. voltage source, with current limitation, capable of applying 500 V or 1 000 V plus twice the maximum system voltage of the module (as marked on [...]
