Electrical Safety Testing Guide (030120)

The Electrical Safety Testing Reference Guide provides information on product safety tests, operator safety, test and measurement equipment and a listing of compliance agencies.

The Electrical Safety Testing Guide is used by a number of companies as a training tool for their employees to be introduced to the idea of electrical safety testing and test and measurement equipment.

The new 5^th Edition of the Electrical Safety Testing Guide contains updated and expanded information on many electrical safety testing topics, such as:

-      New Safety Standard Requirements

-      All new connection to DUT section including custom fixtures

-      IEC 60601-1 3^rd edition

-      Updates on hipot tester features

-      Failure mode/troubleshooting section

-      Calibration, verification and routine check section

-      Updated test and measurement equipment information

-      Updated standards list

Hipot Testing: Ensuring Connection with OSC (035999)

When performing a hipot test, it is important to ensure the connection between the Hipot tester and the device under test (DUT).  A hipot test can produce a false pass if the high voltage cable between the DUT and hipot tester is broken or not connected.  This application note shows how QuadTech has resolved this issue in their hipot testers by having OSC.

Ground Bond vs. Ground Continuity: Why Choose One Test Over the Other? (035168)

Trends in the purchase of test and measurement equipment indicate that production line electrical safety testing is moving away from the traditional ground continuity check in favor of ground bond testing.  We will examine the differences between the ground continuity check and the ground bond test and what advantages are afforded by the ground bond test. 

How To Choose a Hipot Tester

Shari Richardson, a QuadTech engineer authored an article for Conformity’s November 2007 issue title, “How To Choose A Hipot Tester.” The article discusses new features in hipot testers, and what one should consider when purchasing a hipot tester. A Hipot Test is performed to meet electrical safety testing requirements.
