    Megger vs Hipot

    wilco on EASA. I went to their site and took a look at the costs which are low. I will peruse the sight. I understand what you are saying about capacitance, and I will look into it. Thank you very much for your cogent response!

    Megger vs Hipot

    Please forgive the multiple posts. I dont see a way to edit the posts, so the first post with attachments has the same doc as a docx and pdf....the pdf is has an old schematic...again, sorry for the confusion and redundancy.

    Megger vs Hipot

    Thanks for the link. As you may already know, if you are a neophyte, it is a TALL order to make the leap from gathering information to effectively testing. I have spent the better part of a year trying to get my head around these two tests and what they mean in the manufacturing environment...

    Megger vs Hipot

    I am working to create a manufacturing process to produce small brushless ac motor/generators. Recently I equipped the final testing station with a GW Instek 4 in 1 electrical safety tester. With the help of the manufacturer and several other fine folks, I set up the Insulation Resist and AC...

    HiVoltage Testing Station Setup Help

    I looked at what the NETA does as well as Advanced Testing, and although its in the ball-park, I think these folks are all about high power transmission. I think it would be like talking to motor repair guys; close, but not the same. I found a place called Byram Labs in NJ. These guys do...

    HiVoltage Testing Station Setup Help

    Thanks for the feedback. I am setting up an electrical safety testing station on a manufacturing line, so yes, I am looking for an expert to help me do that. My question is do you folks have any specific recommendations, not about process, but for reliable people who can help me. I had...

    HiVoltage Testing Station Setup Help

    yep, Ive looked into it. I am hoping I can find someone who is familiar with my testing gear and my process rather than generic training.

    HiVoltage Testing Station Setup Help

    Hi! First off, I am not an Engineer. I am designing a small manufacturing cell producing 2kw BLAC power units. I have purchased a GwInstek 4 in 1 Electrical Safety tester to perform Megger and AC HiPot tests. The heart of the problem is that although I have read extensively on the subject of...
