Quality and Compliance Testing Made Easy
Hipot testers or dielectric withstand testing instruments are used for conducting electrical safety tests on electrical components and products to make certain they are in compliance with IEC, UL, TUV, CSA, EN, and other electrical safety requirements. In addition to general product and component testing, Chroma can help solve complex medical safety testing (60601-1) ensuring human safety and product reliability. New hipot and electronic safety test instruments (EST) purchased in North America are backed by a 2-year standard warranty.
Hipot and Ground Bond Testers
Hipot testers determine the suitability of the dielectric or insulation barrier between hazardous and non-hazardous parts. Hipot testing (dielectric strength testing) appears in nearly every product safety standard and is a fundamental test used to check a fully assembled product as it exits the production line.
Advanced Hipot Analyzers
Chroma’s advanced hipot testers are used in quality assurance sample inspection testing, manufacturing testing, and development validation. Some example products are: Power cords, Household appliances (IEC 60335), Information technology products (IEC60950), Medical equipment (IEC60601), Lab/testing equipment, Video (IEC60065), and EMI filters.
Wound Component Hipot and Impulse Winding Testers
Quality verification testing for wound components including EV motors, servomotors, ascension motors, stators, transformers, heaters and solenoid valves. The Impulse Winding Test (WPT) discovers potential defects such as layer short, corona, and/or partial discharge which can go undetected during early phases of design and production.
Battery Cell Safety Testers
A battery cell insulation tester accurately measures leakage current (LC) and insulation resistance(IR) of battery jelly-roll/dry-cell as well as other insulation materials. The tester includes partial discharge (PD) and flashover detection to identify defects and potential hazards. Our Surge Tester is designed for testing the insulation quality between the positive and negative plates of a lead-acid battery cell.

High Voltage Safety Enclosures
Designed to provide a safe environment for Hipot testing devices, these high voltage safety enclosures act as personal protective equipment (PPE), reduce the hazard of high voltage discharge and safeguard operators from the dangers associated with High Potential Testing. These come equipped with a magnetic safety interlock switch and chassis ground connection that must be wired from the safety tester to the safety enclosure for safe operation.
