As DC high-potential testing starts to show its age, test methods recommended by IEEE are ready to fill the void For many years, high-voltage DC testing has been the traditionally accepted method to ...

Users and manufacturers of wiring and cabling typically measure the Insulation Resistance of the cable on reels (spools). These reels may hold literally miles of cable. Figure 1 illustrates one such ...

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 ...

Your client has asked that you perform hipot testing on your PCB and on the cable assemblies of your design. What are the three common hipot tests and what do they measure? This particular hipot test ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Certifying a new power product to relevant safety standards is an essential part of any design and development process.

Haefely Hipotronics has launched a new DC Hipot “How-To” Video. The “How-To” series takes viewers behind-the-scenes with a Haefely Hipotronics industry expert to demonstrate a live test. This video ...

I once designed a product for Avaya, a 1U x 19" rack with an open-framed OEM power supply. Yields were good at first. Later, HIPOT (high-potential) testing started to fail on random units at a 10 ...

Most of the electrical power distribution infrastructure is static, and in many facilities, the mindset for electrical equipment and devices is “set it, and forget it.” However, much of the existing ...

The deployment of renewables has been growing at a rapid pace in recent years, reaching record levels, according to IRENA. Among all renewable technologies, solar photovoltaic (PV) power has been ...
