Functions & Features of Advanced Hipot Testers – as published in Test & Measurement Tips – 6/18
Functions and Features of Advanced Hipot Testers June 18, 2018 by Lee Teschler Modern instruments help to check whether manufactured equipment meets the proliferating variety of international safety standards that govern factors such as grounding and the ability to withstand overvoltages. KEVIN CLARK, VITREK Electrical safety testers — often referred to as hipot testers — are an integral part of electrical and electronic equipment manufacturing. Hipot testers get thei name from the high-potential (high voltage) they produce to perform dielectric withstand and insulation resistance tests. In addition to these tests, many hipot testers provide accurate low-resistance measurements and low-resistance/high current [...]
Vendors Support Hipot, Insulation-Resistance and Ground-Bond Tests- as seen in Rick’s Blog on the EE Website – 7/18
Vendors Support Hipot, Insulation-Resistance and Ground Bond Tests by Rick Nelson - Evaluation Engineering - July 2018 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 ground-bond (GB) tests across a range of industries. Vendors offer a variety of options — from software that automates instrument control and records test results to a variety of test probes and leads. Relevant standards range from IEC 60601-11 for medical device testing to IEEE Std 43-20132 for testing the insulation resistance of electrical machinery. [...]
Picking the Right Hipot Tester For The Job – as published in Power Systems Design Magazine – 9/2018
Picking the Right Hipot Tester for the Job Understanding the testing requirements and standards will ultimately save testing time and cost. By Kevin Clark, CEO, Vitrek Hipot testers offer a range of capabilities starting with dielectric withstand and insulation resistance testing but also, in many instances, providing accurate low-resistance measurements and low-resistance/high-current outputs to test ground resistance and ground bond integrity. Selecting the right one for your application will ultimately save both time and expense in performing these essential tests. Product Safety Certification Before getting into the individual functions, it is important to point out that hipot testing is a [...]
