5. ADAPTER BOX CONNECTION:
The following diagram shows how to connect the adapter box to the HYPOT II
and to the device under test.
The adapter box allows you an easy way to connect an item that is terminated in a
two or three-prong line cord. If you are testing a product which is terminated in a
three-prong plug, you are also required to perform a continuity or ground bond
test on the ground conductor of the DUT to the chassis or dead metal of the
product. With the HYPOT II, you can perform both the hipot and continuity tests
at the same time by activating the continuity function on the instrument.
When the HYPOT II tests the ground conductor of the line cord, if the resistance
of the ground conductor exceeds 1
Ω
, the hipot will signal a continuity failure. If
continuity is present, high voltage is applied to both conductors of the line cord to
insure that all current carrying conductors in the primary circuit are tested. When
testing products with two prong plugs, do not activate the continuity circuit.
