Insulation failure is the root cause of many electrical conductors and equipment failures. When insulation fails, not only can equipment be damaged, but fire and shock can also result. Ideally, when ...

Insulation failure is a leading cause of electrical fires and system downtime, often occurring silently before any visible signs appear. Regular insulation resistance testing helps detect early ...

Hipotronics, Inc., a Brewster, New York, U.S.-based high-voltage test equipment manufacturer, offers automatic test sets for multi-conductor cable. The Hipotronics Automatic Test Set is an automated, ...

Electrical safety testing has been around for almost a century, and safety agencies have been testing and certifying products for almost as long. Electrical and electronic products have changed ...

Electrical safety testers—often referred to as “hipot” testers—are an integral part of electrical and electronic equipment manufacturing. Hipot testers get their name from the high-potential (high ...

In the first part of this series on the highs and lows of resistance measurements, I discussed the basic principles for making two- and 4-wire resistance measurements for measuring resistances of less ...

Manufacturers of medical electrical equipment are required to test to the international electrical safety standard IEC 60601 Medical Electrical Equipment, General Requirements for Safety, to ensure ...
