Inflatable SF6 AC/DC Hipot Test Set YDQ series is a portable high-voltage test transformer system composed of an SF6-insulated inflatable test transformer and a separate control cabinet, designed for power-frequency AC and DC withstand testing of cables, electrical components and insulating materials in field conditions.
Product Key features
Compact, lightweight inflatable transformer: significant mass reduction vs. oil-immersed units (typical ranges indicated: 20%–65% depending on class; other references note 40%–65%).
Oil-free design: no oil or grease required, minimizing routine maintenance and eliminating oil contamination risks.
Field-capable: weather-resistant design, stable during transport and suitable for on-site testing operations.
High insulation strength and low corona: improved dielectric performance with minimal corona discharge under rated voltage.
AC and DC output capability: provides power-frequency AC testing and DC output via high-voltage rectification.
Service conditions of AC DC Hipot Tester
Ambient temperature: operating range -20 °C to +40 °C.
Maximum relative humidity: less than 85% at 25 °C.
Installation site: avoid locations with steam, corrosive gases, chemical dust, dirt or explosive media that could degrade the insulating gas.
Operation notes: increase input voltage gradually; install sufficient series protection resistor on the high-voltage output; perform switching under appropriate high-voltage protection and interlocks.
Allowed running time of AC DC Hipot Test Set
Under rated capacity and rated voltage: continuous operation should not exceed 30 minutes per interval; recommended rest interval 5–10 times the working time to ensure cooling.
At rated voltage with up to 2/3 rated current: long-term continuous operation is permissible.
Working Principle of YDQ AC DC Hipot Test Equipment
Input power is supplied to the control cabinet with over-current trip and zero-interlock protection; the primary winding of the YDQ transformer is energized and, by electromagnetic induction and turns-ratio transformation, a high-voltage AC is produced on the secondary.
DC high voltage is obtained by rectifying the high-frequency/high-voltage secondary via a high-voltage silicon rectifier stack and regulator/filter capacitors; the HF RMS amplitude and rectifier arrangement provide the required DC output.
