Hopetech authorized distributor. 1.2.2 Regular maintenance For HT9980A/HT9981A tester, input power cords, test leads and related accessories must be carefully inspected and calibrated at least once a year to ensure the safety of the operator and the accuracy of the instrument.
⚫ Make sure that all personnel can immediately tell the object under test, object to be tested, and tested object. ⚫ The test area and the surrounding air must not contain flammable gases, and the tester should not be used near flammable materials. 1.4 Operator Regulations 1.4.1 Qualification of personnel The voltage and current output by the tester will result in death or serious injury to the operator.
placed in a fixed position and cannot be placed at will. 1.6 Safety Points ⚫ Non-qualified operators and unrelated personnel should stay away from the high-voltage test area. ⚫ Always be safe and orderly in the high-voltage test area. ⚫ Never touch the test object or any object connected to the test object during the high voltage test.
And excellent design and selection of good insulation materials can protect users from electric shock. The hi-pot test performed by HT9980A/HT9981A tester is generally called "high-voltage dielectric test", referred to as "withstand voltage test" for short. basic It is specified that the working voltage of the test object is 2 ×...
The withstand voltage test is more precise in product design and sample production than in production. The trial phase has already determined the safety of the product. Although only a few samples are used to judge the product design, Online testing should also strictly require that all products must pass safety standards to confirm that no defective products will flow out of the production line.
2.3.2 Advantages & Disadvantages of DC Testing Features: During the DC hi-pot test, the stray capacitor in the DUT is fully charged. The capacitance current caused by the DC hi-pot test will drop to zero after the stray capacitance is fully charged.
2.5 Ground Resistance Test The ground resistance test mainly measures the contact resistance between the ground wire of the appliance and the casing. The measurement method is based on the principle of Ohm's law, a current flows on the contact point, then measure the current and voltage value of the contact point separately, and then calculate the resistance value is according to Ohm's law.

Chapter 6 Remote Input and Output Signals 6.1 Input and Output Signals On the back panel of the tester, there are remote monitoring and remote control terminal blocks. This allows to connect tester to the monitoring center for monitoring its working state and you can also use the remote control to operate the tester.
Chapter 7 Automatic Discharge Circuit 7.1 Discharge Principle After the test, especially the DC hi-pot test, a large amount of power will remain on the test object and in the circuit, which must be discharged first then the test lead can only be removed. After the tester completes the test, the program automatically drives the discharge circuit.
