FAQs
What is a hipot test failure?
A failure means the insulation cannot handle the applied high voltage. This shows up as leakage current above the limit or an electrical breakdown such as arcing, which indicates a safety risk.
Will a hipot test damage the product or sensitive components?
Normally, no—when performed correctly, the test is safe. The voltage used is well below the insulation’s design limits. Damage only happens if the test is done improperly with too much voltage or too long a test time.
How is the test voltage chosen?
Test voltage is set based on safety standards like UL, IEC, or CSA and the product’s maximum working voltage. A common guideline for AC testing is about twice the operating voltage plus 1000 V.
How long does a hipot test last?
Most hipot tests run for about 60 seconds. For fast production testing, standards often allow shorter tests of 1–2 seconds with a slightly higher voltage.
What is the difference between AC and DC hipot tests?
AC testing stresses insulation in both directions and does not require a discharge afterward. DC testing gives a clearer reading of resistive leakage and works well for capacitive loads, but the device must be discharged after the test.
What safety precautions are needed?
Safe operation requires strict controls: use interlocked test areas, stay clear during high voltage, confirm full discharge before touching the DUT, ensure trained operators, and regularly check and calibrate the tester.
How does hipot testing differ from insulation resistance (IR) testing?
Hipot tests are pass/fail checks that apply high voltage to see if insulation holds. IR tests measure the insulation’s resistance value in megaohms or gigaohms to judge its condition and detect aging.
What is dielectric breakdown testing?
It is a destructive test where voltage is raised until the insulation fails. Unlike a standard hipot test, it determines the exact breakdown point and is mainly used for design evaluation.
What is a ground bond or ground continuity test?
It verifies that the product’s exposed metal parts have a solid, low-resistance connection to the safety ground. This ensures fault current will safely trip protective devices instead of causing shock.
What can cause a hipot tester to show a false failure?
False failures can be caused by moisture or contamination, poor spacing that allows arcing, incorrect tester settings, or a fast voltage ramp on high-capacitance loads.
How often should a hipot tester be calibrated?
Yearly calibration by an accredited lab is standard. Daily functional checks using known test samples help ensure accuracy and reliability.
