    will flow through any available ground path. Rules Operators should be thoroughly trained to follow all of the aforementioned rules, in addition to any other applicable safety rules and procedures. Defeating any safety system should be considered a serious offense with severe penalties such as removal from the Hipot testing job. Allowing unauthorized personnel in the area during a test should also be dealt with as a serious offense.

  • Page 14: Key Safety Points To Remember

    When testing with DC, always discharge the capacitance of the item under test and anything the high voltage may have contacted--such as test fixtures--before handling it or disconnecting the test leads. HOT STICK probes can be used to discharge any capacitance in the device under test as a further safety precaution.

  • Page 15: The Different Types Of Safety Tests

    1.5 The Different Types of Safety Tests 1.5.1 Dielectric Withstand Test The principle behind a dielectric voltage - withstand test is simple. If a product will function when exposed to extremely adverse conditions, it can be assumed that the product will function in normal operating circumstances.
  • Page 16  Weak Insulating Materials  Pinholes in Insulation  Inadequate Spacing of Components  Pinched Insulation Dielectric Withstand Test; AC verses DC Please check with the Compliance Agency you are working with to see which of the two types of voltages you are authorized to use.
  • Page 17 This can make it very difficult to detect products that have excessively high leakage current. Another disadvantage of AC testing is that the hipot has to have the capability of supplying reactive and leakage current continuously. This may require a current output that is actually much higher than is really required to monitor leakage current and in most cases is usually much higher than would be needed with DC testing.

  • Page 99 Service Request Enable Query 0 - 255 *IDN? Read the instrument identification string. Company = EEC *RST Reset the instrument to original power on configuration. Does not clear Enable register for Standard Summary Status or Standard Event Registers. Does not clear the output queue. Does not clear the power-on-status-clear flag.
  • Page 100 *OPC? Returns an ASCII "1" after the command is executed. *WAI After the command is executed, it prevents the instrument from executing any further query or commands until the no-operation-pending flag is TRUE. *PSC {1|0} Sets the power-on status clear bit. When set to 1 the Standard Event Enable register and Status Byte Enable registers will be cleared when power is turned ON.
  • Page 101 automatically clears the register and sets all bits to inactive state or 0. When querying an Event register the information is returned as a decimal number representing the binary-weighted sum of all bits within the register. The Enable registers bits represent the selection of bits that will be logically OR’d together to form the summary bit in the Status Byte.
  • Page 102 This means that bit 6 and bit 0 are set to a value of 1. After reading the Status Byte the Status Byte value will change to 01 hex.

  • Page 103: Calibration

    EEC offers a standard one-year manufacture’s warranty. This warranty can be extended an additional four years provided that the instrument is returned each year to EEC for it’s annual calibration. In order to be eligible for the extended warranty instruments must be returned to EEC for calibration service at least once every twelve months.
