Current Setting. Most modern hipot testers allow the user to set the current limit. However, if the actual leakage current of the product is known, then the hipot test current can be predicted. Choosing the trip level really depends on the product being tested. The best way to identify th...
Test equipment manufacturers have created equipment especially designed to perform the tests as defined in the safety agency standards. The tests include AC and DC Hipot or dielectric withstands test, leakage current test, and insulation resistance test.Larry Sharp...
During type testing, the hipot test is applied after tests such as fault condition, humidity, and vibration to determine whether any degradation has taken place. The production-line hipot test, however, is a test of the manufacturing process to determine whether the construction of a production ...
