Electrical safety testing device G1-1A

dielectricinsulationvoltage

Short description
Operator safety combined with precise measurement results
The verification of product safety is covered by almost all international standards. To demonstrate compliance, high-voltage testing is usually required. The product range from bott includes various devices and accessory modules that enable the performance of all relevant test tasks.

What are high-voltage testers used for?
High-voltage testing is used to verify insulation and dielectric strength of devices, machines, components and insulating materials. The test applies voltages that do not occur during normal operation. The procedure detects material changes (e.g. degraded insulation properties) and manufacturing faults (e.g. loose terminals or damaged insulation). It also verifies the correct sizing of air and creepage distances and the suitability of insulating materials.

Safety requirements
Typical test voltages are commonly in the range of 1,000–2,500 V; in special cases test voltages can exceed 10,000 V. High-voltage testing can be potentially hazardous for operators; therefore protective measures and safety precautions are mandatory (e.g. according to EN50191 (VDE0104)). All bott testers comply with EN50191 (VDE0104). A comprehensive range of accessories is available to ensure operator protection.

What can be verified with high-voltage testing?

• Detection of insulation deterioration
• Detection of manufacturing defects (loose contacts, damaged insulation)
• Verification of air and creepage distances
• Assessment of insulating material suitability
