Safety guidelines for hipot testing and setting up a safe testing area Hipot testing has long been a standard procedure for assuring the electrical safety compliance of electronic equipment. Early . NRTLs implement and enforce electrical safety testing to protect consumers from a potentially fatal electric shock. Separates power lines from low voltage circuits. Separates power lines . TO PREVENT ACCIDENTAL INJURY OR DEATH, THESE SAFETY PROCEDURES MUST BE STRICTLY OBSERVED WHEN HANDLING AND USING HTE TESTER. RESET BUTTON - This is a momentary contact switch used to reset the tester. If an out-of-range reading is detected during a test, the red failure lamp within the button will light. Hipot test is the most common type of electrical safety test. Designed to verify that the insulation of a product is adequate enough to withstand high voltage. Performed by stressing the insulation of the product far beyond what it would encounter during normal use. Hence, the term “voltage withstand test”. • Suspend the test leads to minimize capacitive coupling. • Follow the prescribed procedure for each test exactly as written. • Verify all setup conditions before starting a test and examine all leads for signs of wear. • Verify the tester is functioning properly by use of a performance verification device. This will also confirm. Hipot testing involves applying an overvoltage to the cable system for a short duration to verify the dielectric integrity of the system (cable, splices, and terminations). In most cases hipot testing is applied as a pass/fail or go/no-go test. • Suspend the test leads to minimize capacitive coupling. • Follow the prescribed procedure for each test exactly as written. • Verify all setup conditions before starting a test and examine all leads for signs of wear. • Verify the tester is functioning properly by use of a performance verification device. This will also confirm. NRTLs implement and enforce electrical safety testing to protect consumers from a potentially fatal electric shock. Separates power lines from low voltage circuits. Separates power lines from isolated power supplies. Isolates input power from the chassis or case of an electrical device.
