General Information

A very low frequence hipot is just an AC output tester but with an


output frequency of 0.1 Hz or lower rather than 50/60Hz. Although
the frequency is very low, it is still an alternating current with polarity
reversals every half cycle. At 0.1 Hz output, rather than 60Hz, it
takes 600 times less current and power to apply an AC voltage to a
capacitive load, like a long cable.

The GDVLF Series of VLF-AC hipots apply the device with a


microprocessor controlled, which will control voltage automatic,and
can also be adjusted for manual when in the process of automatic
voltage boost .Our advanced electronic design provides you with the
most portable, to use VLF hipots available. An big LCD screen and
onscreen instruction system can display output Sinusoidal , and the
in-built thermal printer willprint the test report, make the test process
is easy to operate.

Features
• Measurement accurate;
• Overvoltage protection: If the output voltage exceeds the limit users
set , the instrument is supposed to shut-down itself, react within 20ms;

• Overcurrent protection: it is high-low voltage dual protection in the


design, theaccurate shut-down protection can be made according to the
set value at high voltage side; If the current on low voltage side exceeds
the rated current, the instrument will take shut-down protection, the
actuation time are both less than 20ms.

• A high voltage output protective resistor is provided in the voltage


boost body in the design and this eliminates the need of additional
protective resistor connected outside.

• AC testing does not degrade good cable insulation.

• No traveling waves are generated during testing.

• Harmful space charges are not injected into the cable insulation.

1. Power supply requirement: AC50Hz, 220V, stability of frequency: fluctuation less


than 0.5%.

2. When using it, the capacitance of the sample should not exceed the rated capacity
of the instrument. The overlow capacitance of the sample will affect the output wave
form. If the capacitance is less than 0.05µF, the instrument cannot output normally.

3. When using it, it is prohibited to boost voltage without load, or to connect with
resistive load.

Operation Procedure

1.Open, close and reset

After conneting the wiring of all the circuits, the power switch can be put

on. The instrument will automatically enter into the limit setting interface

as shown in figure 1,with the microcomputer is electrified and reset.

Caution:
• The power should be shut-down when on wiring, removal of lines or

temporary non-use of the instrument.

• If there is no display on the screen, the first check should be made on

the fuse tube ,because the power socket is provided with fuse tube.

test time and voltage, overcurrent protection on high-voltage side and
overvoltage protection value according to test requirement. The methods
are as follows:

a. Click “Selection” key, and the special selective box can be shifted
among the parameters in cycle. The selected parameters can be modified
through “data modification”(change) key.

b. Click “Change” key and the parameter selected by the special box can
be modified in cycle.

c. Click “Return” key, the instrument will enter into voltage boost standby
interface as shown in figure 2 .

• There are three options for the frequency: 0.1 Hz, 0.05 Hz and 0.02 Hz.

• Timing modification scope: 0-99 mins. It specified the time of test.

• Range of test voltage is from 0 kV to rate voltage. When the voltage of


the instrument reaches to this set value, it will stop boosting, maintain at
this peak value and output uniform amplitude sine wave.

• The setting scope of current protection is from 0 mA to the rating.


It specified the upper limit of the current of the sample. If the current
exceeds this set value, the instrument will automatically cut off the output
and shut down.

• The voltage protection is from 0 kV to the rating. It specified the


upper limit of the voltage. In case the voltage exceeds the set one, the
instrument will automatically cut off the output and shut down.

• "Single" and "Series" connection. Selecting "Single" means that one


of both boosters will be respectively used; Selecting "Series" means that
both boosters will be jointly used according to requirements.

3. Standby Interface

a. Click “Boost” key, the instrument will enter into automatic boost
procedure.

b. Click “Setting” key, the instrument will return to set limit sub-interface
as shown in figure 2 to re-modify parameter.

c. Click “Check” key to check the test data in the last nine times.

4. Automatic boost

Click “Boost” key as shown in Figure 2, the instrument will enter into
boost test under microcomputer control according to the procedures
as follows:Self > Check > Boost > Uniform > Amplitude Output >
Shutdown

The instrument outputs a detecting voltage to check the system. the


instrument will boost or shut-down depend on the condition is normal
or abnormal. The screen will display “load unconnected”, when the
booster or the capacitor sample (DUT) is not connected or there is a
failure with the instrument.

During boost process, click “Pause” key as shown in Figure 4 , can


pause the boost process, and the instrument will have uniform amplitude
output. At the same time, the key will be automatically turned into “boost”
key, which can be re-clicked to continue the boost process until the set
voltage of the instrument is reached.

Click “Timing” key in boost process, the instrument will begin timing
process, or you can wait until the voltage is increased to the set one,
then the instrument will count time automaticly. Then the “Timing” key
will be turned into “Stop” key as shown in Figure 4.

6. Shut-down

Two methods of shut-down:

a. Timing shut-down: The instrument will shut down at specified set time.

b. Manual shut-down: Click “Stop” key can stop the instrument.

After shut-down, the prompt interface “Test Passed” will appear as


shown in Figure 6 , represent of passing the test , if not, because of exist
no electrical discharge、overvoltage or overcurrent protection on the DUT
(sample).

Caution:
• Additionally there are two abnormal shut-down: overvoltage and
overcurrent protective shut-down . the instrument will automatically cut
off the output, then execute the historical data storage. In case of shut-
down, the prompt interface will appear as shown in Figure 7.

7. Print

Click “Print” key as shown in Figure 6, the user can print the data as test
report. On historical data checking status, click “Print” key, the user can
print the historical data.

8. Historical Data Check

Data on condition of timing shut-down, click key “Stop” shut-down,


overvoltage and overcurrent protective shut-down , will be stored as
historical data. Data of last nine times will be stored. Click the “Check”
key as shown in Figure 1, the user can check the historical data of tests
in the last nine times.
