HIPOT Testing

The simple series circuit path of a local defect is more easily carbonized or reduced in resistance by the dc
leakage current than by ac, and the lower the fault path resistance becomes, the more the leakage current
/100
increased, thus producing a “snow balling” effect which leads to the small visible dielectric puncture usually
observed. Since the dc is free of capacitive division, it is more effective in picking out mechanical damage as well
as inclusions or areas in the dielectric which have lower resistance.
5. If the tester doesn’t meet these requirements then make sure it has a safety interlock system that guarantees you Transformer (As per NEC)
cannot contact the cable while it is being hipot tested. Selection of Various Types of UPS (Part-2)

Are electrical power engineers qualified to carry out hipot testing? or just electricians? (I’m in Australia)

THANKS FOR THE INFO, MAY I ASK HOW MANY TIMES CAN WE TEST THE CABLES IN CASE IF IT IS
FAILED ?

Dear sir,
I have a doubt about the testing please Guide your experience how to test 34.5kV MV cable, i don’t know which
test require AC hipot test or DC hipot test.

Dear Mr. Jignesh Parmar, My high pot tester is always displaying this OL or over limit. Is it important or I may say, Abstract
is it a must to know the leakage current readings? I’m afraid if our client ask me what is the leakage current Abstract of CPWD-Part 1
readings, I can’t answer anything. By the way, I am electrician. Thanks

Abstract of IS Code.

When can I say that Hi pot testing done is okay? Is there limitation for the leakage current? IS 694 / 1554 / 11892

Electrical Q&A Part-1
Dear Mr Jignesh
Electrical Q&A Part-2
I am Hafez from Malaysia. Currently, I am in charge for a commissioning of MV panel switch gear. My contractor
Electrical Q&A Part-3
perform a test with 12kV of 6.6kV to a cable from switch gear to a motor. I would like to ask the acceptance value
of insulation as the value read only 200MOhm, but as I believe it should reach more than 1GOhm. Electrical Q&A Part-4
Please advise, and cahn I have the reference of IEC standard on this? Electrical.Tool

Appreciate if you could tell me what is the reason for choosing DC or AC voltage for Hipot testing. Thanks mediafire.com/file/vc7vfk…

Is it necessary to check at both the ends of the underground cable for the fault in the cable or cable check from
one end of the cable is enough
