Cable Hipot Testing
Understanding Hipot testing is necessary for maintaining
- Cable insulation integrity &
- Electrical safety.
What is Hipot Testing?
A high-voltage test to determine
- Insulation breakdown &
- Leakage current.
Why is this Important?
- It Identifies inadequate insulation before failure.
- Prevents electrical risks and shocks.
- Ensures compliance with safety regulations.
Types of Hipot Tests
- Dielectric Breakdown Test: Determines maximum voltage before failure.
- Dielectric Withstand Test: The Dielectric Withstand Test ensures insulation can withstand safe voltage levels.
- Insulation Resistance Test: Assesses long-term insulation performance.
When should you Perform Hipot Testing?
- After manufacturing
- During routine maintenance
- Prior to equipment installation,
- After repairs and alterations
Proper Hipot Testing improves reliability, protects against costly failures, and maintains electrical safety.
