The act of draining off an electrical charge to ground.
Devices that retain charge should be discharged after an IR
or DC HiPot test.
The rate at which current or voltage reverses polarity and
then back again completing a full cycle, measured in Hertz
(Hz) or cycles/second. AC Line Frequency =50/60 Hz.
The base reference from which voltages are measured,
nominally the same potential as the earth. Also the side of
a circuit that is at the same potential as the base reference.
Test to verify that all conductive parts of a product that are
exposed to user contact are connected to the power line
ground. GC Test normally performed with a low current
DC signal that checks to ensure the ground connection has
a resistance of <1Ω.
Test to verify that all conductive parts of a product that are
exposed to user contact are connected to the power line
ground. The ground bond test is similar to the ground
continuity test. The main difference is that the ground
bond test verifies the integrity of the ground connection
using a high current AC signal with current level as high as
30Amps. Ground bond provides a better simulation of how
a product will perform under an actual fault condition.
Measures the total resistance between any two points
separated by electrical insulation. The IR test determines
how effective the dielectric (insulation) is in resisting the
flow of electrical current.
General Purpose Interface Bus (GPIB).
standard definition of a Parallel bus connection for the
purpose of communicating data between devices.
An industry standard definition for a Serial line
communication link or port.
A electronic device designed to switch or matrix signals.
