AC Hipot for Cable/Harness Testing? 1500VAC with CH2

Cable/Harness Testing Made Easy.

AC Hipot testing can be confusing with a current limit specified as "total", "real" or often not defined at all. If you wonder why all AC current isn't "real current" or have other questions about Hipot testing with AC rather than DC, learn more in this month's newsletter.

We have introduced a new high voltage AC supply and higher voltage scanners for the easy-wire CH2. With the new supply and scanners the CH2 is now capable of testing up to 1500VAC at up to 22mA of total leakage current, so it can handle much more capacitance in the device under test. This month we review this new high voltage supply and the growing capabilities of the CH2.

If you have any questions or comments, call us at 1-800-441-9910.

AC voltage is often used as an alternative to DC in Dielectric Withstand Testing. Why use AC rather than DC? If you use AC what is a reasonable current limit? What is the difference between total and real current in specifications? These are the kind of questions we answer is this month's newsletter:

AC Hipot Testing on the CH2

The new xHV Supply improves the range of high voltage testing on the CH2.

We have recently added to the CH2 tester

1500VAC & High Capacitance testing with the xHV supply.
The ability to integrate external test equipment like the Agilent 34410A and the Keithley 2400 series Precision Meters with our new "Custom Instructions."
Panel Adapters that quickly adapt interface connectors of your choice to the CH2, allowing you to use existing interface cables.
