Hipot is the abbreviation for high potential. A Hipot test is used to verify electrical insulation on finished cables, electric motors Transformers, wired assemblies, appliances, and printed circuit boards.

Hipot tester, also known as dielectric strength testers, use to perform the test of applying a predetermined Dc or Ac high voltage between both the live and non-live parts of an electric appliance to establish the hipot of the insulation system. Electrical appliances in long-term use must withstand not only the effect of the rated voltage level but also the effect of an overvoltage greater than the authorised working voltage for a brief period during operation. The overvoltage value can be many times the rated operating voltage value.

What is difference between Hipot and IR test?
With Hipod leakage current of any circuit (HT Distribution/ Transmission Lines) can be determine and with IR Test insulation resistance between two circuit or parts of machine is determined.
What is an ELECTRICAL SAFETY COMPLIANCE TESTER?
In order to ensure that an Electrical Safety Compliance Tester is safe for use, the product is passed through a rigorous gauntlet of testing. Among these tests are electrical safety tests which are designed to test the electrical integrity of the product itself. These tests include the ground bond (or continuity) test, dielectric withstand or high potential (hipot) test, insulation resistance test, and leakage current test. Each of these tests has unique parameters designed to pinpoint various potential problems with a device. For example, Table 1 outlines common hipot test settings from various NRTL standards.
What should be the minimum insulation value of a 20 kw 415v phase motor?
415V commonly available wire is 300V or 600V so that would need to be 600V wire to use a megger or a hipot tester (2* operating voltage +1000V) 2000 volt megger or hipot should verify the wiring in this instance 2500v megger will be necessary for 600V wire and wiring devices you also must look and ambient temperature and humidity a test after some operation time can verify this
How many times can the electrical high voltage test at 2kV ac be run to confirm the quality of the electrical insulation?
A HiPot test at 2kV can be done as many times as need be. Preventative maintenance programs sometimes schedule for it to be done once a year. Other schedules require more frequent inspections depending on the circumstances and the environment in which the conductor is located.
Can a high voltage transformer be megged with a megger meter?
No. A megger's output voltage is not high enough to test the insulation of a high-voltage transformer if, by 'high-voltage transformer ', you mean a distribution transformer or power transformer. Instead, a high-voltage test set or 'pressure tester' (e.g. a 'HiPot' tester) must be used, as these produce far higher voltages.
In instrument cables with a rating of 600 volts can you use a megger tester with a 250 voltage range?
Yes, you could, but why would you? Maintenance or fault testing on a cable rated at 600 volts involves applying the rated voltage (600 volts) and measuring the leakage current. Doing this test at 250 volts doesn't really test the cable. High potential (hipot) testing involves the application of even higher voltages for test purposes.
An AC high pot test indicates the condition of a vacuum inside of a bottle. What exactly is it testing for?
There are several different high potential (hipot) tests, but they all generally involve applying a high voltage (high electrical potential) across something being tested to determine how good an insulator the material or substance is. A vacuum inside an enclosed space can insulate materials inside that space. To cite a single example, in a variable vacuum capacitor, a glass or ceramic "bottle" with a flexible metal bellows on one end contains a pair of plate sets. By expanding or compressing the bellows assembly, one set of plates can be moved closer to the other set, both of which are inside the vacuum "bottle" of the device. This changes the capacitance of the device, and thus allows it to be used to tune a circuit. If a hipot test were conducted across the plates of the capacitor, the integrity of the insulative properties of the vacuum enclosure could be tested. If air should have leaked inside, this air would be ionized by the high voltage and the hipot test would show this. This vacuum capacitor would be ineffective in a high voltage application, like the tuning of a high power radio transmission circuit.
What is the acceptance value of leakage current in HI POT test?
A HIPOT test, or a dielectric test, is designed to ensure there is no breakdown when a device under test has a high voltage applied to it, which means that it is a simple pass or fail test with no requirement for data. Requirements in safety standards may require the testing of leakage current, however, so the best example of calculating the accepted leakage current is: If you apply 1000 volts to the device under test and adjust the tester until there is a breakdown, if the products resistance is below 120,000 ohms the maximum leakage current allowed is 8.333 mA (This is calculated using the formula 1000/120,000 which is aqual to 8.333mA).
What is the Difference between a Dielectric Test and a Megger Test?
a megger or hipot test involves raising the voltage of the wiring to 2x the operating voltage + 1000v answer volts/amps or ohms Dielectric test usually a sample of the oil is taken from the transformer answer is in ohm-cm dry devices will have the dielectric tests on file ... this is a very poor excuse ... the code need rewriting. the old standards were based on porcelain, oil, paper and cotton AI MI SWC DWC new types THN THWN THHN SO are generally based on a natural color when the tests are done so if you replace a cord on a drill the white and green wire has insulation that crumbles while the black is still flexable. thermoplastic insulation used for several years in damp locations with DC turns to a sticky goo.
Define the thermal resistance of a cable?
No. Conductor resistance is. Cable insulation resistance to ground is inversely proportional to its length. The longer the cable, the more leakage path to ground; therefore, the lower the insulation resistance to ground.
