Hipot and Ground Bond Testers

A hipot tester (short for high potential tester) applies a high voltage between conductors and ground to determine whether insulation can withstand operating conditions without breakdown. This process is critical for detecting: Insulation weaknesses, Leakage current issues, Manufacturing defects, and Contamination or material degradation. Hipot testing is widely required to meet global safety standards such as UL, IEC, CSA, and ISO.

Battery Cell Safety Testing

While lithium-ion MFG has matured, electrical shorts can still develop inside the cell after passing production tests due to burrs or particles on the positive electrode. If these cells, which are susceptible to failure, reach the end user, the results could be catastrophic.

Watch this video to learn how to identify and mitigate these occurrences in the dry cell stage before electrolytes are introduced.
