The importance of dielectric withstand voltage test and the price of the hipot tester

Dielectric withstand voltage test is applied to low-voltage electrical apparatus, insulating material and insulation structure. The basic theory for withstand voltage test is to make a product exposed under extremely hostile environment, if the product can still regular works, that means the product can certainly keep working in normal condition. Different product has different specification, when do the withstand voltage test, a voltage higher than working voltage would be on the specimen and keep for a certain time, if the leakage current of the parts is in the normal range during the time, that means the parts is very safe when operate under the normal voltage, and reasonable design and good insulating material can well protect the user.

The purpose for withstand voltage test is to protect the user from electric shock, and keep the user and contactor safety. To do the high voltage test can test the following items:
● Insulating strength of insulating material
● To check if any gap or pinhole on insulator
● To check if the safe distance is enough or not between the parts
● To check if the contactor is damage or not caused by extrusion and dropping.

For general equipment, withstand voltage test is to test the leakage current between fire wire and enclosure. Normally, the test voltage should be 2* working voltage+1000V, for some special products, the test voltage will be higher. For example, the working voltage is from 100V to 240V, the test voltage may be 1000V to 4000V or higher. Generally speaking, the “double insulation” designed products will require higher test voltage.

Generally, AC withstand voltage test (ACW test) is easier accepted than DC withstand voltage test (DCW test), that because most specimen are AC products, ACW test is conformity with operating environment.

Withstand voltage tester should cause a stable 50Hz or 60Hz AC high voltage, the high voltage waveform has low distortion and high frequency harmonic components. Because the specimen has stray capacitance, and the stray capacitance is sensitive to harmonic, that will affect the accuracy of leakage current test obviously. Moreover, the crest factor also will affect the test result. The perfect crest factor of sine-wave is 1.414. For example, the voltage output is 1000V, then the idea output peak value should be 1414V. In reverse, if the crest factor has deviation, the output peak value is incorrect, which can not meet the standard requirement.
The output distortion and crest factor are decided by voltage producing way. 7051 withstand voltage tester adopts digital waveform generator which can produce 50/60Hz sine-wave (crest factor: 1.410~1.420), then through linear amplifier output, the distortion will less than 2%, the crest factor is between 1.350 and 1.450, which totally ensure the accuracy and reliability.

The relationship between standards IEC62262 and IEC60068-2-75

  The IK code is a coding system to indicate the degree of protection provided by an enclosure against harmful external mechanical impacts. The standard IEC62262 defines the impact energy corresponding to different IK codes. In general, the degree of protection applies to the complete enclosure. If parts of the enclosure have differing degrees of protection, the latter shall be indicated separately. IK00 IK01 IK02 IK03 IK04 IK05 IK06 IK07 IK08 IK09 IK10 IK11 0 0.14J 0.2J 0.35J 0.5J 0.7J 1J 2J 5J 10J 20J 50J IK00 - no protection IK01 - withstands 0.14J impact force (equivalent to the impact of an object weighing 0.25KG falling from a height of 56mm on the surface) IK02 - Withstand 0.2J impact force (equivalent to the impact of an object weighing 0.25KG falling from a height of 80mm on the surface) IK03 - Withstand 0.35J impact force (equivalent to the impact of an object weighing 0.2KG falling from a height of 140mm on the surface) IK04 - Withstand 0.5J impact force (equivalent to t...
