Electrical Instuments

High Potential

Testers

Hipot, short for High Potential or High Voltage testing, is an essential piece of equipment used to ensure the safety and reliability of electrical devices. It tests the insulation strength of electrical components and assemblies by applying a high voltage to the device under test (DUT) and measuring the insulation's ability to withstand the stress. This helps in identifying potential breakdowns or weaknesses in the insulation before the equipment is put into operation.
