Insulation failure is a leading cause of electrical fires and system downtime, often occurring silently before any visible signs appear. Regular insulation resistance testing helps detect early ...

Sometimes, an insulation resistance (IR) testing program is in place, yet a major cable failure still occurs. Because it doesn't seem to work, cutting back or eliminating the program appears to make ...

Most design engineers take wire for granted and don’t give much thought to its basic wire-covering insulation. And why should they? In most cases, the insulation fulfills its role of preventing bare ...

This article describes the testing results following routine performance assessment of an electrical motor both in its original state and after rebuilding it using products made by Zeus, such as the ...

Your client has asked that you perform hipot testing on your PCB and on the cable assemblies of your design. What are the three common hipot tests and what do they measure? This particular hipot test ...

Electrical safety testers—often referred to as “hipot” testers—are an integral part of electrical and electronic equipment manufacturing. Hipot testers get their name from the high-potential (high ...

To meet the requirements of your electrical safety testing applications, you can choose from a variety of instruments and systems that perform hipot, insulation-resistance (IR), ground-resistance, and ...
