TEST STATION

Location

Select an area away from the main stream of activity which employees do not walk through in performing their normal duties. If this is not practical because of production line flow, then the area should be roped off and marked for HIGH VOLTAGE

TESTING. No employees other than the test operators should be allowed inside.

3

SAFETY

If benches are placed back-to-back, be especially careful about the use of the bench opposite the test station. Signs should be posted: "DANGER - HIGH VOLTAGE

TEST IN PROGRESS - UNAUTHORIZED PERSONNEL KEEP AWAY."

Power

Dielectric Voltage-Withstand Test Equipment must be connected to a good ground. Be certain that the power wiring to the test bench is properly polarized and that the proper low resistance bonding to ground is in place.

Power to the test station should be arranged so that it can be shut off by one prominently marked switch located at the entrance to the test area. In the event of an emergency, anyone can cut off the power before entering the test area to offer assistance.

Work Area

Perform the tests on a nonconducting table or workbench, if possible.

There should not be any metal in the work area between the operator and the location where products being tested will be positioned.

Position the tester so the operator does not have to reach over the product under test to activate or adjust the tester. If the product or component being tested is small, it may be possible to construct guards or an enclosure, made of a non-conducting material such as clear acrylic, such that the item being tested is within the guards or enclosure during the test, and fit them with switches so that the tester will not operate unless the guards are in place or the enclosure closed.

Keep the area clean and uncluttered. All test equipment and test leads not absolutely necessary for the test should be removed from the test bench and put away. It should be clear to both the operator and to any observers which product is being tested, and which ones are waiting to be tested or have already been tested.

Do not perform Hipot tests in a combustible atmosphere or in any area where combustible materials are present.

TEST OPERATOR

Qualifications

This instrument generates voltages and currents which can cause harmful or fatal electric

shock and must only be operated by a skilled worker trained in its use.

The operator should understand the electrical fundamentals of voltage, current, and resistance.

Safety Procedures

Operators should be thoroughly trained to follow these and all other applicable safety rules and procedures before they begin a test. Defeating any safety system should be treated as a serious offense and should result in severe penalties, such as removal from the Hipot testing job. Allowing unauthorized personnel in the area during a test should also be dealt with as a serious offense.

4

SAFETY

Dress

Operators should not wear jewelry which could accidentally complete a circuit.

Medical Restrictions

This instrument should not be operated by personnel with heart ailments or devices such as pacemakers.

TEST PROCEDURES

!NEVER PERFORM A HIPOT TEST ON ENERGIZED CIRCUITRY OR EQUIPMENT!

If the instrument has an external safety-ground connection be sure that this is connected.

Then connect the return lead first for any test regardless of whether the item under test is a sample of insulating material tested with electrodes, a component tested with the high voltage test lead, or a cord-connected device with a two or three-prong plug.

Plug in the high voltage test lead only when it is being used. Handle its clip only by the insulator---never touch the clip directly. Be certain that the operator has control over any remote test switches connected to the Hipot. Double-check the return and high voltage connections to be certain that they are proper and secure.

NEVER TOUCH THE ITEM UNDER TEST OR ANYTHING CONNECTED TO IT WHILE

HIGH VOLTAGE IS PRESENT DURING THE HIPOT TEST.

WARNING

When testing with DC, always discharge the capacitance of the item under test and anything the high voltage may have contacted--such as test fixtures--before handling it or disconnecting the test leads.

HOT STICK probes can be used to discharge any capacitance in the item under test as a further safety precaution. A hot stick is a nonconducting rod about two feet long with a metal probe at the end which is connected to a wire. To discharge the device under test, two hot sticks are required. First connect both probe wires to a good earth ground. Then touch one probe tip to the same place the return lead was connected. While holding the first probe in place, touch the second probe tip to the same place where the high voltage lead was connected.

KEY SAFETY POINTS TO REMEMBER:

Keep unqualified and unauthorized personnel away from the test area.

Arrange the test station in a safe and orderly manner.

Never touch the product or connections during a test.

In case of any problem, turn off the high voltage first.

Properly discharge any item tested with DC before touching connections.

Alternating Current, AC:

Current which reverses direction on a regular basis, commonly in the

U.S.A. 60 times per second, in other countries 50 times per second.

Breakdown:

The failure of insulation to effectively prevent the flow of current, sometimes evident by arcing. If voltage is gradually raised, breakdown will begin suddenly at a certain voltage level. Current flow is not directly proportional to voltage. Once breakdown current has flown, especially for a period of time, a repeated application of voltage will often show breakdown beginning at a lower voltage than initially.

Conductive:

INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION

The importance of testing... User safety

In an era of soaring liability costs, original manufacturers of electrical and electronic products must make sure every item is as safe as possible. All products must be designed and built to prevent electric shock, even when users abuse the equipment or bypass built in safety features.

To meet recognized safety standards, one common test is the "dielectric voltage-withstand test". Safety agencies which require compliance safety testing at both the initial product design stage and for routine production line testing include: Underwriters Laboratories,

Inc. (UL), the Canadian Standards Association (CSA), the International Electrotechnical

Commission (IEC), the British Standards Institution (BSI), the Association of German

Electrical Engineers (VDE), the Japanese Standards Association (JSI). These same agencies may also require that an insulation resistance test and high current ground bond test be performed.

The Dielectric Withstand (Hipot) Test....

The principle behind a dielectric voltage - withstand test is simple. If a product will function when exposed to extremely adverse conditions, it can be assumed that the product will function in normal operating circumstances.

The most common applications of the dielectric-withstand test are:

Design (performance) Testing.... determining design adequacy to meet service conditions.

Production Line Testing.... detecting defects in material or workmanship during processing.

Acceptance Testing.... proving minimum insulation requirements of purchased parts.

Repair Service Testing.... determine reliability and safety of equipment repairs.

The specific technique varies with each product, but basically, during a dielectric voltage withstand test, an electrical devise is exposed to a voltage significantly higher than it normally encounters. The high voltage is continued for a given period.

If, during the time the component is tested, stray current flow remains within specified limits, the device is assumed safe under normal conditions. The basic product design and use of the insulating material will protect the user against electrical shock.

The equipment used for this test, a dielectric-withstand tester, is often called a "hipot" (for high potential tester). The "rule of thumb" for testing is to subject the product to twice its normal operating voltage, plus 1,000 volts.

7

INTRODUCTION

However, specific products may be tested at much higher voltages than 2X operating voltages + 1,000 volts. For example, a product designed to operate in the range between

100 to 240 volts, can be tested between 1,000 to 4,000 volts or higher. Most "double insulated" products are tested at voltages much higher than the "rule of thumb".

Testing during development and prototype stages is more stringent than production run tests because the basic design of the product is being evaluated. Design tests usually are performed on only a few samples of the product. Production tests are performed on each and every item as it comes off the production line.

The hipot tester must also maintain an output voltage between 100% and 120% of specification. The output voltage of the hipot must have a sinusoidal waveform with a frequency between 40 to 70 Hz and has a peak waveform value that is not less than 1.3

and not more than 1.5 times the root-mean-square value.

Advantages and Disadvantages of AC Testing and DC Testing....

Please check with the Compliance Agency you are working with to see which of the two types of voltages you are authorized to use. In some cases, a Compliance Agency will allow either AC or DC testing to be done. However, in other cases the Compliance

Agency only allows for an AC test. If you are unsure which specification you must comply with please contact our CUSTOMER SUPPORT GROUP at 1-800-504-0055.

Many safety agency specifications allow either AC or DC voltages to be used during the hipot test. When this is the case, the manufacturer must make the decision on which type of voltage to utilize. In order to do this it is important to understand the advantages and the disadvantages of both AC and DC testing.

AC testing characteristics

Most items that are hipot tested have some amount of distributed capacitance. An AC voltage cannot charge this capacitance so it continually reads the reactive current that flows when AC is applied to a capacitive load.

AC testing advantages

1. AC testing is generally much more accepted by safety agencies than DC testing. The main reason for this is that most items being hipot tested will operate at AC voltages and AC hipot testing offers the advantage of stressing the insulation alternately in both polarities which more closely simulates stresses the product will see in real use.

2. Since AC testing cannot charge a capacitive load the current reading remains consistent from initial application of the voltage to the end of the test. Therefore, there is no need to gradually bring up the voltage since there is no stabilization required to monitor the current reading. This means that unless the product is

8

INTRODUCTION sensitive to a sudden application of voltage the operator can immediately apply full voltage and read current without any wait time.

3. Another advantage of AC testing is that since AC voltage cannot charge a load there is no need to discharge the item under test after the test.

AC testing disadvantages

1. A key disadvantage of AC testing surfaces when testing capacitive products. Again, since AC cannot charge the item under test, reactive current is constantly flowing. In many cases, the reactive component of the current can be much greater than the real component due to actual leakage. This can make it very difficult to detect products that have excessively high leakage current.

2. Another disadvantage of AC testing is that the hipot has to have the capability of supplying reactive and leakage current continuously. This may require a current output that is actually much higher than is really required to monitor leakage current and in most cases is usually much higher than would be needed with DC testing.

This can present increased safety risks as operators are exposed to higher currents.

DC testing characteristics

During DC hipot testing the item under test is charged. The same test item capacitance that causes reactive current in AC testing results in initial charging current which exponentially drops to zero in DC testing.

DC testing advantages

1. Once the item under test is fully charged the only current flowing is true leakage current. This allows a DC hipot tester to clearly display only the true leakage of the product under test.

2. The other advantage to DC testing is that since the charging current only needs to be applied momentarily the output power requirements of the DC hipot tester can typically be much less than what would be required in an AC tester to test the same product.

DC testing disadvantages

1. Unless the item being tested has virtually no capacitance it is necessary to raise the voltage gradually from zero to the full test voltage. The more capacitive the item the more slowly the voltage must be raised. This is important since most DC hipots have failure shut off circuitry which will indicate failure almost immediately if the total current reaches the leakage threshold during the initial charging of the product under test.

9

INTRODUCTION

2. Since a DC hipot does charge the item under test it becomes necessary to discharge the item after the test.

3. DC testing unlike AC testing only charges the insulation in one polarity. This becomes a concern when testing products that will actually be used at AC voltages.

This is a key reason that some safety agencies do not accept DC testing as an alternative to AC.

4. When performing AC hipot tests the product under test is actually tested with peak voltages that the hipot meter does not display. This is not the case with DC testing since a sinewave is not generated when testing with direct current. In order to compensate for this most safety agencies require that the equivalent DC test be performed at higher voltages than the AC test. The multiplying factor is somewhat inconsistent between agencies which can cause confusion concerning exactly what equivalent DC test voltage is appropriate.

The Ground Continuity Test

The Ground Continuity test is checking to verify that there is low impedance path between the chassis and the safety ground wire of the line cord. A low impedance ground system is critical in ensuring that in the event of a product failure a circuit breaker on the input line will act quickly to protect the user from any serious electrical shock.

International compliance agencies such as CSA, IEC, TÜV, VDE, BABT, and others, have requirements calling out this test. A low current test merely indicates that there is a safety ground connection, it does not completely test the integrity of that connection that would be accomplished when using much higher currents in the range from 10 to 30amps.

The high current test is known as a Ground Bond test.

The Ground Continuity test verifies that the ground circuit between the Continuity and

Return panel jacks on the Hipot is below 1ohm while test at a current of 100mA. This function can be enabled or disabled through software, when a ground circuit is not provided on the device under test or test requirement are not needed.

The Insulation Resistance Test....

Some "dielectric analyzers today come with a built in insulation resistance tester.

Typically, the IR function provides test voltages from 500 to 1,000 volts DC and resistance ranges from kilohms to gigaohms. This function allows manufacturers to comply with special compliance regulations. BABT, TÜV, and VDE are agencies that may under certain conditions require an IR test on the product before a Hipot test is performed. This typically is not a production line test but a performance design test.

The insulation resistance test is very similar to the hipot test. Instead of the go/no go indication that you get with a hipot test the IR test gives you an insulation value usually in

Megohms. Typically the higher the insulation resistance value the better the condition of the insulation. The connections to perform the IR test are the same as the hipot test. The

10

INTRODUCTION measured value represents the equivalent resistance of all the insulation which exists between the two points and any component resistance which might also be connected between the two points.

Although the IR test can be a predictor of insulation condition, it does not replace the need to perform a Dielectric Withstand test.

KEY FEATURES & BENEFITS OF MODELS 2955, 2965, and 2975

1. No load setup of trip current and output voltage.

This provides the operator with an easy and safe way to set trip currents and output voltages since parameters are set without the high voltage activated.

2. Automatic storage of test program.

The 2900 family powers-up with the parameters that were used during the last test to avoid operator set-up errors.

3. All parameters for the setups can be adjusted through a simple menu driven program.

The easy to follow setup screens ensure that the operator correctly sets up all test parameters.

4. Tamper proof front panel controls.

This makes it possible to limit user access to the setup screens so that only authorized personnel with a security code can change test parameters.

5. Line and load regulation.

This system maintains the output voltage to within 1% from no load to full load and over the line voltage range to ensure that test results remain consistent and within safety agency requirements..

6. The LCD display allows monitoring of current down to 100 microamps AC and 20 microamps DC.

This allows the 2900 series of Hipots to be used even when test requirements only allow a very low level of acceptable leakage current.

7. Electronic dwell settings.

The electronic dwell control helps keep test results consistent by ensuring that the test duration is the same for each product tested.

8. PLC remote inputs and outputs.

The standard 9- pin interfaces provide outputs for Pass, Fail, Test in Process and

Interlock. Inputs include Test and Reset. This gives the user all the basic remotes required to configure the Hipot through simple PLC relay control.

9. Front panel LCD displays test parameters and results.

A front panel LCD allows the operator to monitor the test. The display holds the results after a test item failure so that the operator can easily review the test results.

Indications of high fail and continuity failure are clearly displayed.

10. Maximum output current 12 milliamps AC and 5 milliamps DC.

This makes this instrument a true hipot tester with enough output current to test capacitive loads in AC mode and allows the instrument to comply with the UL “120 K ohm” requirements.

SPECIFICATIONS

11. Software calibration control.

The 2900 family of Hipots is calibrated through the front panel keypad. All calibration information is stored in non-volatile memory. This allows the instrument to be completely calibrated without removing any covers and exposing the technician to hazardous voltages.

12. User selectable output voltage frequencies of 50 or 60 hertz.

The 2900 family of Hipots was designed for the global market. This feature makes it simple for the user to select the output frequency in the AC hipot mode so that products can be tested at the same frequency they will be used.

13. Output voltage fine adjustment.

To make The 2900 family of Hipots usable in all types of applications, the operator can manually bring the voltage up or down in 10 volt increments by simply pressing the up and down arrow keys. This makes it very easy to adjust the output voltage even while the instrument is in the dwell mode so you can analyze test results at different voltages.

14. Built-in Adjustable Continuity test mode.

The 2900 family of Hipots meets ground continuity test requirements called out by

UL and other safety agencies.

15. Flashing high voltage indicator.

A flashing LED located directly over the high voltage terminal clearly indicates when high voltage is active to provide maximum operator safety.

16. User selectable input voltage.

The 2900 family of Hipots can be switched for either 115 or 230 volt input operation through an easy access rear panel mounted switch to allow it to be used in any country.

17. Low-current sense.

Monitors the minimum level of current flow, thus ensuring that the DUT is properly connected and that the hipot test is being performed.

18. Electronic ramping.

Provides a gradual and timed method to increase output voltage to the DUT, minimizing any damage from quickly over-applying high voltage to sensitive DUTs.

19.Test setup memories.

The operator can store and recall test setups, thus eliminating the need to re-enter setup information.

16

SPECIFICATIONS

20. Insulation Resistance Test Mode *

This allows the operator to perform an Insulation Resistance test independently or in sequence with the Dielectric Withstand (Hipot) test, thus eliminating the need for a separate piece of test equipment when IR testing is required.

21. Insulation Resistance Adjustable Output *

The Insulation Resistance test mode provides an adjustable output range of 100-1000 volts DC. This gives the user the ability to meet most IR test requirements.

Note: The Delay timer in the IR mode differs from the Dwell timer in the Hipot mode. A judgment is not made until the Delay time has elapsed. In the Hipot mode a Pass / Fail judgment is made a soon as the leakage limits are exceeded. Therefore, when the Delay time is set to zero Pass and Fail judgment or indications will not be made.

OPERATION

C. OPERATING PROCEDURES:

1. If the instruments defaults are acceptable then be sure to connect the appropriate test leads to the device under test (DUT) or test fixture. Be sure to connect the safety ground

(on the rear panel) to a suitable known good ground before energizing this instrument.

Then connect the return lead first to the test fixture or the DUT followed by the high voltage lead.

Check your connections to be sure they are making good contact and that the test station or area is clear of debris or other personnel. DO NOT TOUCH THE DEVICE UNDER

TEST ONCE THE TEST HAS BEEN STARTED.

WARNING

2. Please follow the setup procedures to set the parameters. The display will show the Dwell or Delay Timer value, the Test Voltage value, and the High Limit Setting. On model 2955, 2965, and 2975 the memory location will also be displayed.

OPERATION

D. CONNECTION OF REMOTE I/O:

A 9-pin “D” type connector is mounted on the rear panel which provides REMOTE-

INPUT-OUTPUT control and information. This connector mates with standard 9-pin “D” subminiature connector provided by the user. The Remote I/O mates to a female

(receptacle) connector. For best performance, a shielded cable should be used. To avoid ground loops the shield should not be grounded at both ends of the cable. Suggested

AMP part numbers for interconnecting to the Remote I/O are shown below.

SHIELDED CABLE CLAMP (for either plug or receptacle)

JACKSCREW SET (2)

REMOTE INTERFACE REAR PANEL:

1. SIGNAL OUTPUTS ON REMOTE I/O

The rear panel connector provides output signals to remotely monitor PASS, FAIL, and PROCESSING conditions. These signals are provided by three normally open internal relays that switch on to indicate the current condition of the tester. These are normally open free contacts and will not provide any voltage or current. The ratings of the contacts are 1A / 250 VAC ( 0.5 ADC ). Below is a listing that indicates what conditions activate each pin. When a terminal becomes active, the relay closes thereby allowing the external voltage to operate an external device.

Pins 6 and 7 provide the PASS signal.

Pins 8 and 9 provide the FAIL signal.

Pins 1 and 6 provide the PROCESSING signal.

The following describes how the relays operate for each test condition.

PROCESSING - The relay contact closes the connection between pin (1) and pin (6) while the instrument is performing a test. The connection is opened at the end of the test.

42

OPERATION

PASS - The relay contact closes the connection between pin (6) and pin (7) after detecting that the item under test passed all tests. The connection is opened when the next test is initiated or the reset function is activated.

FAIL - The relay contact closes the connection between pin (8) and pin (9) after detecting that the item under test failed any test. The connection is opened when the next test is initiated or the reset function activated.

2. SIGNAL INPUTS OF REMOTE I/O

The 2900 family of Hipots remote connector enables remote operation of the TEST,

RESET and INTERLOCK functions. This interlock must be closed to allow a test to start. The SAFETY INTERLOCK is wired between pins 4 and 5 of the interface connector. For manual operation, the provided 9-pin “D” type connector has a jumper between pins 4 and 5. This mating connector must be in place for manual operation.

For remote operation, the interlock can be appropriately connected to test station guarding.

The interface allows remote operation of the TEST and RESET functions. A normally open momentary switch across pins 3 and 5 allows remote operation of the TEST function. A normally open momentary switch can also be wired across pins 2 and 5 to allow remote operation of the RESET function. The TEST and RESET switches on the front panel remain active during remote operation. A normally open momentary switch can then be wired across pins 3 and 5 to allow remote operation of the TEST function. A normally open momentary switch can also be wired across pins 2 and 5 which allows for remote operation of the RESET function. For safety, the front panel RESET switch remains active even when a remote reset switch is connected so that high voltage can be shut down from either location.

CAUTION

DO NOT CONNECT VOLTAGE OR CURRENT TO THE SIGNAL

INPUTS, THIS COULD RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE CONTROL

CIRCUITRY.

43

OPERATION

E. ADAPTER BOX CONNECTION:

The adapter box is an optional accessory and is not provided as standard equipment with the 2900 family of Hipots. If you would like to acquire an adapter box for use with your

Hipot, please contact The Slaughter Company using the contact information provided in the Safety section of this manual.

The following diagram shows how to connect the adapter box to the Hipot and to the device under test.

WARNING

Never connect the adapter box to the hipot while the high voltage outputs are energized.

The adapter box allows you an easy way to connect an item which is terminated in a two or three prong line cord. If you are testing a product which is terminated in a three-prong plug, you are also required to perform a continuity or ground bond test on the ground conductor of the DUT to the chassis or dead metal of the product. With the 2900 models, you can perform both the hipot and continuity tests at the same time by activating the continuity function on the instrument.

When the 2955, 2965, or 2975 tests the ground conductor of the line cord, if the resistance of the ground conductor exceeds 1

, the hipot will signal a continuity failure.

If continuity is present, high voltage is applied to both conductors of the line cord to insure that all current carrying conductors in the primary circuit are tested.

When you are testing products with two-prong plugs, disconnect the black adapter box lead from the return jack and replace it with the 102-069-904 lead. Do not activate the continuity circuit when testing two-prong DUTs.

BUS REMOTE INTERFACE RS232

Bus Remote Interface RS-232

This section provides information on the proper use and configuration of bus remote interface. The RS-232 remote interface is optional on the 2955, 2965 and 2975 series models. (Please see Options on page 53 for more information)

RS-232 Interface

This interface provides all of the control commands and parameter setting commands. All commands can be found in the command list of this manual.

The RS-232 cabling should be configured as follows for a 9-pin serial port interface

:

Instrument RS-232 Port

RD

2

PC / Bus Controller

2 RD

TD 3

SIG

GND

5

3

5

TD

SIG

GND

The COM port should have the following configuration. 9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity. This interface does not support XON/XOFF protocol or any hardware handshaking. The controller should be configured to ignore the handshaking lines DTR

(pin 4), DSR (pin 6), CTS (pin 8) and RTS (pin 7). If the port cannot be configured through software to ignore the lines then the handshake lines should be jumpered together in two different sets. Pins 4 and 6 jumpered together and pins 7 and 8 jumpered together at the controller end of the cable.

When sending command over the RS232 bus, the instrument will send a response string of

06 hex or 6 decimal, the Acknowledge (ACK) ASCII control code if the transfer was recognized and completed by the instrument. If there is an error with the command string that is sent, the instrument will respond with 15 hex or 21 decimal, the Not Acknowledge

(NAK) ASCII control code. The ACK or NAK response allows for software handshaking, to monitor and control data flow. When requesting data from the instrument, it will automatically send the data back to the controller input buffer. The controller input buffer will accumulate data being sent from the instrument including the ACK and NAK response strings, until it has been read by the controller.

RS-232 Interface Command List

The RS-232 bus will automatically send any response back to the controller's input buffer.

Note that the commands are case sensitive and must be typed in capital letters. Each command string should be terminated by the ASCII control code, New Line <NL>, or

OAh.

The following conventions are used to describe the commands syntax for the 2900. Braces

({ }) enclose each parameter for a command string. Triangle brackets (< >) indicate that you must substitute a value for the enclosed parameter. The Pipe ( | ) is used to separate

45

BUS REMOTE INTERFACE RS232 different parameter options for a command. The command and the parameter data must be separated with a space. All commands that end with a question mark (?) are query commands and require an IEEE-488 read command to retrieve the data from the device's output buffer.

Test Execution Commands

The following commands are used to control actual output voltage and current from the instrument. Please observe all safety precautions.

*SRE?

Queries the Service Request enable register. Returns the decimal value of binaryweighted sum of bits.

Status Reporting

Status reporting system is configured using two types of registers. An Event Register and a Summary register. The summary register is known as the Status Byte register and records high-level summary information acquired by the event registers.

An Event register report defined conditions or messages at each bit. The bits are latched and remain at an active state until the register is either Read or Cleared. Reading the event register automatically clears the register and sets all bits to inactive state or 0. When querying an event register the information is returned as a decimal number representing the binary-weighted sum of all bits within the register.

The Enable registers bits represent the selection of bits that will be logically-ORed together to form the summary bit in the status byte. The *CLS command will not clear the enable registers and if you wish to clear the register you must set it to a value of 0.

Like the event register, the enable register is represented as a decimal number that equals the binary-weighted sum of all bits.

The enable register will clear to value of 0 at power up unless the *PSC 0 command had been executed before power-off. The *PSC command tells the device whether or not it should clear the enable registers at power-on. Using this command will allow SQRs to function immediately after power-on
