While electricity is a major force for modern civilization, it can also be quite lethal. This is why electrical devices and systems must be proven to be safe for use. If it is not safe, it can create an accident or even cause a fire. Tests on the cables that conduct electricity are one of the methods used to carry out safety precautions. It is a unique type of test for a cable, known as 11-kV-Kabelfehlerorter.
Hipot cable testing is a drain for electrical problems. Electrical issues could result in devices breaking -- or worse still, catching fire, which is frightening. They must be identified and eliminated prior to driving, leading to damage or safety issues. Hypot test helps in identifying problems such as insulation breakdown or a short circuit.
Insulation breaking down is when the covering around a wire has been worn away. In such a situation, this wire would be exposed i.e. it is unsafe. A short circuit is the flow of electricity through a path other than the intended one. This leads to a considerable amount of heat and possibly, danger. Think of how a hose can spring a leak, and if that leak isn’t where it should be (where the water is supposed to flow), it creates big problems.
Always remember the first thing to do before conducting a hipot test: you have to switch off power. This is incredibly important to ensure safety! Then you will have to go connect the cables to the hipot machine. Hypot machine is unique in that it passes the cables through a high-voltage current to test them. This is to ensure that the cables are functioning.
At the start of the test, set a low voltage. Which means first you have to gradually switch off as this portion of electricity. Now, you can slowly ramp up voltage (which is electricity). It is also important to closely monitor for problems while doing so. If you find any sparks or smoke, stop the test immediately and troubleshoot. Safety always comes first!
Hipot testing leaves the cables in a potentially damaged state, always inspect them afterward. Check it well if you find some scratches or any problem. Replace any cable if you find shows it has damage before using the cables or devices associated with it. Think of it like inspecting your shoes for holes before keeping them on before stepping outside, you want to ensure they are not fatal to take out!
Herein lie some of the details on what we should understand about the hipot test results; which can sometimes be somewhat ambiguous. This is why having an expert to help you understand the results is recommended. Our team of experts at Tanbos can help you understand your hipot test results and what they will mean for your safety.
