Introduction and Specifications
This manual contains complete operating and specifications for the HT-20KVPac
Dielectric Withstand Tester.
The instrument is a bench-type Dielectric Withstand Tester with AC Output, designed for
laboratory testing of components, and insulation systems.
The HT-20KVPac features automatic two buttons operation, with numerous safety features
designed to protect the operator:
- The test return lead is directly connected to ground potential for operator safety.
- The test can be immediately terminated at any time by pressing the red
RESET
button.
- Before the test can commence, the unit must be armed by pressing the red
RESET
button. The test will not begin until the blue
TEST
Button is pushed.
- If a failure is encountered, the high voltage is immediately shut down, a buzzer sounds
and the voltage discharge progress is shown by the front panel meter.
- Failure modes are shown by the front panel LED's.
Convenience and testing features include:
- Voltage ramp, test time, and leakage limit are settable.
- Voltage ramp, and test duration timer are defeatable for specialized testing.
- Testing may be terminated or continued when a dielectric breakdown is detected.
- Test results are determined quickly, without operator intervention.
- The HT-20KVPac allows custom setups for voltage ramp, test time and leakage limit.
Your Tester has a warranty for a period of one year upon shipment of the instrument to the
original purchaser.
