Ensure sufficient insulation in the myriad of applications with high-voltage testing High voltage testing is also termed as Hi Pot or High Potential which is the testing method used to ensure insulation in several applications ranging from printed circuit boards and electric motors to industrial cables and transformers. As a user you may select dual polarity DC, sheath output mode and cable jacket. It is important to test the insulation and determine how far the cable is safe. With the testing the chances of electrocution can be minimised. What is the use of measurement devices? With testing and measurement devices, dependability of generators and motors can be maximized for there is the utilisation of VLF or variable frequency that allows technicians to locate weak cables. You must locate the electrical problem before it gets out of control. With timely detection of electrical problem you can also minimise the future maintenance cost and enhance the life of tested equipment. Like any other system, the electrical system needs TLC afforded by Hi Pot testing. What is the importance of high voltage testing? The testing helps in the regulation of quality controls in a factory. When you apply the test to brand new cable then test gives valuable information on the extent of voltage that can be delivered without causing any damage to the product and dielectric breakdown. Ensuring safety and enhancing the dependability of electrical devices is mandatory for the success of Power Company. The need for testing is often equated with seeing a doctor.
