Hipot tester, also called dielectric strength tester, is used to carry out the test of applying a specified AC or DC high voltage between the live part and the non-live part of the electric appliance to check the hipot of the insulating material of the electric appliance. In long-term work, electrical appliances must not only bear the effect of rated working voltage, but also bear the effect of overvoltage that is higher than the rated working voltage for a short time during operation(The overvoltage value may be several times higher than the rated working voltage value). Under the action of these voltages, the internal structure of electrical insulating materials will change. When the overvoltage intensity reaches a certain value, it will cause the insulation breakdown of the material. The electrical appliances will not operate normally, and the operator may get an electric shock, endangering personal safety. The main electrical safety test indicators include AC/DC hipot, insulation resistance, leakage current, ground resistance, etc. AC/DC hipot tester is used to test the electrical safety performance of the product under actual working conditions, so it is one of the important instruments for testing the electrical safety performance of the equipment.
