Introduction and Specifications 

 

This  manual  contains  complete  operating,  maintenance  and  calibration  instructions  for 

the Compliance West USA Model HT-3000P-1A-AC Dielectric Withstand Tester.   

 
The HT-3000P-1A-AC is a bench-type Dielectric Withstand Tester with AC Output.  

 

The  HT-3000P-1A-AC  features  automatic  one  button  operation,  with  numerous  safety 

features designed to protect the operator:   

The Return Lead is directly connected to ground potential for operator safety.   

In  case  of  trouble,  the  test  can  be  immediately  terminated  at  any  time  by  pressing  the 
RESET button.   

Before the test can commence, the unit must be armed by pressing the RESET Button. The 
test will not begin until the TEST Button is pushed.   

If a failure is encountered, the high voltage is immediately shut down, a buzzer sounds, and 
any voltage stored in the  equipment being tested  is bled off by a resistor bank in the HT-
3000P-1A-AC. The voltage discharge progress is shown by the front panel meter. 

Failure modes are shown by the front panel LED's for quick troubleshooting.   

 
Convenience and testing features include: 

Test results are determined quickly, without operator intervention.   

The HT-3000P-1A-AC allows custom setups for test time and leakage limit.  

Voltage  is  discharged  by  a  resistor  bank  within  the  HT-3000P-1A-AC  upon  test 
completion. Discharge progress is shown on the front panel meter. 

 
Your Tester is warranted for a period of one year upon shipment of the instrument to the original 
purchaser.
