The dielectric voltage-withstanding test, which is more commonly known as a hipot test, provides a way to stress the electrical insulation far beyond the levels that it would experience during normal operation. The test, which can be performed with either AC or DC voltage, applies a very high voltage in search of breakdowns in a product’s electrical insulation. Some amount of leakage current will flow due to the high applied voltage, and a hipot tester can typically detect the leakage current according to a tuned or programmed leakage current threshold limit, which is often according to a value specified by an electrical safety agency’s standards.
