UC9801A Hi-Pot and Insulation Tester for SMPS Transformer Testing

UC9801A series program control safety tester has AC withstand voltage test, DC withstand voltage test and insulation resistance test function.

A Hipot test is necessary to test the stress of an electronic device for safety and quality purposes.

Under high voltage it checks that there is no breakdown or perforation occurring, and that insulation distances on the line and in the air are respected.

Tests can be conducted between mutually insulated sections of a part or energized parts and electrical ground. In either case, during testing, electric current will flow between two points.

 

What Is Hi-Pot Testing

The Hi pot test is a test of the dielectric strength of the insulation to ground. It is used to determine if the ground wall can handle an over-voltage situation.

An over-voltage is a voltage higher than the peak operating (line to line) voltage of the device under test (DUT).

The term ‘Hipot’ is short for ‘high potential,’ that itself is short for the more technical term for Hipot testing, which is a ‘Dielectric Withstand Test.’

Hipot represents a class of electrical safety testing instruments.

The reason “good isolation” is widely used to describe Hipot testing is because it does just that—it’s used to verify that finished appliances, transformers, circuit boards, or electric motors have proper electrical insulation, and with regard to wire harnesses and custom cable assemblies, Hipot testing is used to verify the correct operation of safety circuits.

 

How is the Hi Voltage test performed?

Hipot testing is performed by applying a voltage between any two points intended to be electrically isolated, and measuring the resulting leakage current.

The hipot voltage may be applied between electrical circuits and chassis ground, for example, or between primary and secondary circuits isolated by a transformer.

Battery Internal Resistance Tester Distributor India

Inductance measurement of Transformer, Relay, Solenoid Coils with LCR Meter

Features:

Four Test functions — ac withstand voltage test, dc withstand voltage test, insulation resistance test, open short circuit test

When connected to the load, the multi-parameter test can be carried out continuously by editing the test scheme.

AC withstand voltage test 5kV/12mA

The high-voltage module of this instrument is a class AB power amplifier circuit and a 100VA high-voltage transformer, achieving the output of 5kV/12mA (maximum 1 minute), and the distortion degree of waveform is less than 3%.

Since the instrument has a maximum upper limit current of 12mA and a minimum voltage of 50V, the instrument generates a test voltage consistent with 50Hz/60Hz, an independent power supply, and the automatic voltage adjustment rate is less than ±(1%+10V). When the test voltage is set, there is no need to adjust the output voltage.

 

DC withstand test 6kV/5mA

The 8801 series can provide dc withstand voltage testing with a wide voltage range (maximum output dc 6kV). Automatic voltage adjustment of 600Hz frequency hardware, voltage load adjustment rate ≤1%+10V.

S insulation resistance testing 0.050 kV to 1.000 kV (resolution) of 1 v / 0.1 M Ω Ω to 10.0 G, the maximum rated current for 5 ma.

 

Insulation resistance test range:

When the voltage is less than 500 v: 0.1 M Ω ~ 1 g Ω precision of + / 10% reading plus five words

When the voltage is greater than 500 v: 0.1 M Ω Ω range accuracy of ~ 1 g + + five words reading (5%), 1 g Ω ~ 10 g Ω range accuracy of plus or minus 10% (reading + 5 words), 10 g Ω ~ 50 g Ω range accuracy of plus or minus 15% (reading + 5 words).

Open short circuit detection: determine whether the connection of the tested part is reliable before starting the high voltage to ensure the accuracy and safety of the high voltage test.

■ Fully Programmable rs-485 interface (optional) and rs-232c interface as the standard

In addition to power conversion and other functions, other can be remote control. Test conditions such as dc voltage withstand test, ac voltage withstand test and insulation resistance test can be remotely controlled. Test results can also be read from behind by remote control. The GPIB and rs-232c interfaces provide a consistent standard test interface for PCS and other devices.

Easy connection to control HANDLER interface

HANDLER interface, which can input START and STOP signals and output TEST, PASS and FAIL signals. It can be conveniently connected with foot switch into foot control, connected with simple test fixture to realize safety interlock, pneumatic control, test indication and so on.

USB port for backup

USB interface can save the test plan written by the instrument and customer measurement files to the external USB disk, or transfer the instrument from the USB disk to facilitate the setting and use of batch instrument.

Test waiting time setting

You can set the test waiting time from 0.1s to 99.9s with a resolution of 0.1s. During this time, the instrument will output TEST control signal to control external equipment to ensure reliable TEST connection, and then start the high-voltage TEST process.

Rise time control function

In ac withstand test, dc withstand test and insulation resistance test, the test voltage can slowly rise to the set value, instead of providing the set voltage to the test piece immediately after starting the test. Voltage rise time 0.1s to 999.9s resolution 0.1s.

The 8801 series conforms to UL test standards and IEC withstand test standards (the initial voltage is less than half of the test voltage and the rise time can be specified upon reaching the set test voltage).

Drop time control function

In the ac withstand voltage test, the test voltage energy decreases gradually. The voltage drop time can be set to a resolution of 0.1s from 0.1s to 999.9s.

Discharge function

Normally, the measured part is capacitive. At the moment when the dc withstand voltage test and insulation resistance test are cut off, the test piece remains fully charged, so there is a risk of electric shock.

This series has the function of forced quick discharge to the tested part after the dc withstand voltage test and insulation resistance test.

High test accuracy

8801 series voltage digital display, the voltage precision is ± (1% reading +5V) in withstand voltage test, and ± (1% reading +2V) in insulation resistance test. The accuracy of the with-stand current test is ± (1% reading +5 words).

Current clearing function

Ac and dc withstand voltage tests require high sensitivity and high voltage, and the current flowing through the stray capacitance of the test line and fixture can make the test inaccurate. This series has current clearing function to offset current offset.

Ease of operation

This series is easy to operate, with arrow keys and numeric keys to ensure users don’t have trouble getting started.

100 test plans, each can have 100 test items, a total of 10,000 test items can be saved

Overview of instrument performance

8801 can provide 5kVAC/12mA withstand voltage, 6kVDC/5mA withstand voltage, insulation resistance high voltage test.

High voltage module is a class AB power amplifier to ensure the programmable output voltage, eliminating the trouble of manually adjusting the voltage for each test.

In addition, the isolation of output high voltage power supply and line power supply is ensured.

The voltage feedback loop used for ac and dc voltage withstand is used to ensure the accuracy of the output voltage, so that the actual voltage adjustment rate is much lower than the voltage adjustment rate of the transformer, which can be used to measure the products whose VA requirements are much higher than the actual power of this instrument.

In the insulation resistance test, since the load impedance is usually very high, the charging current up to 5mA is guaranteed by the same dc voltage withstand power circuit, but the voltage feedback compensation is not carried out.

It can be set to work at 50 hz or 60Hz when ac output, no longer limited by line voltage; Meanwhile, the voltage waveform is not affected by the line voltage. At the same time, the instrument also tests the real part of the current (pure resistance current), which can avoid the large current generated by distributed capacitance affecting the user’s judgment of the actual insulation resistance

   To solve the problem of large ripple of power supply for DC and insulation resistance test, the 8801 test instrument generates 600Hz ac power supply and forms DC voltage as power supply after rectification, which ensures that the ripple of DC power supply is far smaller than that of the old voltage regulator and can guarantee the stability of 5.000kv and 5mA test.

Once connected with the load, this series can not only independently carry out ac withstand voltage test, dc withstand voltage test, insulation resistance test, but also carry out multi-item test through the project setting of the test scheme.

8801 series is equipped with industrial control HANDLER, GPIB (optional), RS-232c for computer connection, USB for data backup, which enables the instrument to adapt to various automatic test systems with high security and reliability.
