High Voltage Dielectric Withstand Test Failures
If the red
Hipot Fail LED lights, a problem has been found with the insulation system
between primary and ground. The equipment under test should be examined, reworked and
successfully tested before being shipped.
High Voltage Discharge
The HT-3000P is designed to discharge the high voltage after completion of the
dielectric withstand test. The equipment being tested should remain connected to the HT-3000P
until the voltage has discharged to a safe level to protect the operator and also to ensure that there
is no energy stored in the tested equipment.
Testing Equipment with non-Standard Plugs or Pigtail Operation
The front panel of the HT-3000P is provided with a NEMA Type 5-15R receptacle,
suitable for testing cord-equipped single-phase products designed for use on a 15 amp branch
circuit in North America. For other types of products, a different receptacle type or pigtail leads
may be required. Various adapters and pigtail leads are available from Compliance West USA,
or you can make your own. If tests of this type are contemplated, call us for information.
