(hi-pot tester)
plot the voltage vs the current
when the line starts to bend or knee you are close to the failure voltage
The test equipment used to test high voltage cables is a hi-pot test where a high DC voltage is a applied to the cable. This voltage can be from 150% to 200% of the working voltage of the cable.See related links below.
2500 volts
'Hi-pot' is short for 'high potential'. So, a 'hi-pot' test is a 'high-potential' test, and is used to test the insulation resistance of electricity-supply equipment, such as underground cables, etc. It does this by subjecting the insulation to a continuous (d.c.) over-voltage for a given period of time. The magnitude of the test voltage, and the duration of the test, is laid down by the standards that apply to the electrical components being tested.
Conduct a Hi-Pot test on the full length of cable (ensure safety and qualified operator) for a predetermined time at a predetermined voltage. Verify ground straps are properly earthed before test. Test results for a good stress cone installation will be about 35-50 Micro-amps.
you run the voltage up to 2x the operating voltage + 1000v this detects exposure to moisture and pinholes in insulation if it cant pass a hi-pot test chances are it wont pass signals reliably either
insulation tester (Megger) can used to checked the short circuit on HV side. HI POT tester is also a means to checked the shot circuit in HV cable.
'High-pot' is short for 'high potential', and it is also the trade name of a high-voltage test set used for testing the integrity of the insulation of high-voltage cables and other equipment prior to putting them into service, or following maintenance.

The lo and hi pots are the same amount of chips. Both players will tie for the lo and spilt the lo pot, and the player who has lo and hi with win the hi pot. So basically the player with the lo and hi hand will win 3/4 of the pot.
High voltage cables with this high an insulation factor are usually given a Hi Pot (High Potential) test and not meggered. The potential has to be higher that the working voltage of the cable to be effective when checking for insulation or connector breakdown.
hi can you help me do have cable service i am looking for a new cable provider i hope you can help thank you
No it does not I believe because I have only done the test once.So I do not know for sure.So hi!It may.
