Product Specifications & Capabilities
What is a hipot tester?
A hipot tester, short for "high potential" tester, performs an electrical safety test on a device to check the effectiveness of its insulation by applying a high voltage. This test is used to verify that finished appliances, transformers, circuit boards, or electric motors have proper electrical insulation and can handle over-voltage situations. Some models can also measure insulation resistance, ground bond, and leakage current.
What is the voltage range of your hipot testers?
Our Vitrek 95X series hipot testers offer up to 11 kV AC and 15 kV DC. The V7X series supports up to 5 kV AC/DC. Depending on your application, we can suggest the right model with the required voltage range.
Can your hipot tester do ground bond or protective earth testing?
Yes, select models come with ground bond (protective earth) test capability. These testers can perform ground bond, insulation resistance, leakage current measurement, along with AC and DC hipot tests, making them suitable for comprehensive safety testing.
Can we interface the hipot testers to a scanner to enable testing at multiple points?
Yes, we offer the HV Scanner 964i, which can be interfaced with the V7X and 95X series of hipot testers. Additionally, Vitrek hipot testers can directly control up to 256 test points, which can be expanded to 640 using a PC with QuickTest Pro software.
Can the testers be controlled with software?
Yes, they can be controlled with software like the QT enterprise software and come with RS 232 and GPIB ports.
Do you offer test enclosures?
Yes, test enclosures designed to work with their hipot testers are available.
