Hipot Testers: Withstand Voltage Testing and Insulation Resistance Measurement

Kikusui TOS5400: Three Models for Different Electrical Safety Tests

The Kikusui TOS5400 Series includes three electrical safety testers for withstand voltage testing of devices and components. The required test voltage type determines the appropriate model:

  • TOS5401: AC and DC withstand voltage testing without insulation resistance measurement
  • TOS5402: AC withstand voltage testing with insulation resistance measurement
  • TOS5403: DC withstand voltage testing with insulation resistance measurement, particularly for batteries and PV systems

Detect Insulation Faults Under High Voltage

During withstand voltage testing, the hipot tester applies a defined test voltage to the device under test (DUT) and monitors the test current. The adjustable discharge detection function additionally detects short-duration electrical discharges.

Depending on the model, AC test voltages up to 5 kV or DC test voltages up to 6 kV are available. The PWM switching amplifier compensates for mains voltage fluctuations and maintains a stable high-voltage output. This ensures reproducible test conditions.

Measure Insulation Resistance

The TOS5402 and TOS5403 measure insulation resistance using an adjustable DC test voltage. This allows the measurement parameters to be adapted to the DUT and the applicable test requirements.

Automate Electrical Safety Testing

For recurring tests, test voltage, limit values, and test times do not need to be entered again. This saves time and reduces input errors.

With LAN/LXI, USB-TMC, RS-232C, and SIGNAL I/O, the TOS5400 Series can be integrated into automated test systems and production lines.

The instruments are used in development, quality assurance, and production and support testing in accordance with relevant IEC, EN, VDE, and UL requirements. They do not cover ground bond, leakage current, or partial discharge testing.

Alternative Products

For users who need to cover additional electrical safety tests beyond withstand voltage testing, three suitable alternatives to the Kikusui TOS5400 Series are available. Depending on the model, the GW Instek GPT-12000/GPT-15000 Series combines AC and DC withstand voltage testing, insulation resistance measurement, and ground bond testing. The Associated Research HypotULTRA 78xx Series is particularly suitable for automated electrical safety testing with extensive data storage capabilities. Another 500 VA alternative is the GW Instek GPT-9900 Series for AC and DC withstand voltage testing as well as insulation resistance measurement.
