What is a Hipot tester, and what is it used for?
Hipot testers, also known as High Potential, High Voltage, or Flash Testers, are used to test the electrical insulation of devices, wiring assemblies, and electrical components. These instruments help ensure safety by verifying that equipment can withstand high-voltage conditions without allowing leakage currents that could cause electric shock or equipment failure.
Why is regular calibration of Hipot testers important?
Calibration ensures that Hipot testers provide accurate and reliable high-voltage measurements, preventing safety hazards and ensuring compliance with industry regulations and electrical safety standards. Regular calibration also helps identify potential issues before they lead to equipment failure.
