Hipot testing is an abbreviation for high potential (high voltage) testing. Hipot testing, also known as a dielectric withstand test, assesses the dielectric strength of a product's insulation. The test involves applying a high voltage for a specified duration to ensure that the leakage current does not exceed a predetermined limit and that no dielectric breakdown occurs, thus verifying the insulation's integrity.
Matsusada Precision manufactures and sells high-voltage power supplies ideal for various electrical safety tests, including hipot testing and insulation resistance testing.
