Setup Procedure: Hipot Tester
This procedure will describe the connection of the HTT-1R to a hipot tester or a combination
hipot/ground bond tester. Because of the varying types of tester outputs, cables provided with
the HTT-1R may not fit the hipot / ground bond tester. For custom cables, please contact
Compliance West USA.
1)
Connect the hipot tester to the HTT-1R.
a)
On your hipot tester, identify the high voltage output receptacle. Connect the Output and
chassis cable to the high voltage receptacle. The other two ends of the cable, connect
them to the HTT-1R, the green banana plug goes to the chassis green banana receptacle,
and the red banana plug to the output red banana receptacle.
b)
On your hipot tester, identify the return lead of the high voltage output. This is
connected to the black banana Return jack receptacle of the HTT-1R.
2)
Conduct a simulated PASSING test by setting all three switches of the HTT-1R to the PASS
(green) setting and initiating a hipot test by starting your hipot tester.
a)
Your hipot tester should indicate ‘PASS’.
3)
If your tester checks for ground continuity, conduct a simulated GROUND OPEN test by
setting the GROUND switch on the HTT-1R to ‘FAIL’. (All other switches on the HTT-1R
should be set to ‘PASS’.) Begin testing by starting your hipot tester.
a)
Your hipot tester should indicate ‘FAIL’, stop testing, and sound a buzzer or otherwise
warn the operator of a problem.
4)
Conduct a simulated EXCESS LEAKAGE test by setting the LEAKAGE switch on the
HTT-1R to ‘FAIL’. (All other switches on the HTT-1R should be set to ‘PASS’). Begin
testing by starting your hipot tester.
a)
Your hipot tester should indicate ‘FAIL’, stop testing, and sound a buzzer or otherwise
warn the operator of a problem.
5)
Conduct a simulated HIPOT FAILURE test by setting the HIPOT switch on the HTT-1R to
‘FAIL’. (All other switches on the HTT-1R should be set to ‘PASS’.) Begin testing by
starting your hipot tester.
a)
The dielectric breakdown will be visible as an arc in the ARC VIEW window of the
HTT-1R.
b)
Your hipot tester should indicate ‘FAIL’, stop testing and sound a buzzer or otherwise
warn the operator of a problem. (If the current of the spark is above the leakage limit,
the Excess Leakage failure may occur as well)
