HiPOT
- Purpose: Hipot (High Potential) testing is conducted to verify the electrical insulation of devices.
- Voltage Application: High voltages, typically exceeding normal operating levels, are applied to assess insulation strength.
- Insulation Breakdown: Identifies weak points or potential breakdown areas in the device’s insulation.
- Safety Assurance: Ensures devices can withstand higher-than-normal voltages without posing a safety risk.
- Dielectric Strength: Measures the ability of insulation materials to resist electrical stress.
- Quality Control: Employed in manufacturing to verify the quality and reliability of electrical products.
- Compliance Testing: Ensures devices adhere to safety standards and regulations.
- Automated Sequences: Some systems offer automated test sequences for efficiency and consistency.
- Fault Detection: Detects defects such as insulation breakdowns that could lead to electrical hazards.
- Non-Destructive: Typically non-destructive, allowing identification of potential issues without causing damage.
