Comprehensive Multi-Test Platform with High-Voltage Capability
The V10X Series provides comprehensive electrical safety testing across AC hipot, DC hipot, insulation resistance (IR), ground bond, and 4-wire low-resistance measurements within a single platform. Built on Vitrek’s proven high-power hipot architecture, the system delivers output voltages up to 15 kV DC and 10 kV AC standard (expandable to 30 kV AC with external option), with configurable current sourcing from 50 mA DC to 200 mA AC for demanding load conditions.
Touchscreen Workflow Reduces Setup Time and Operator Error
Unlike legacy button-based hipot testers, the V10X uses a full-color touchscreen interface with graphical sequence editing, allowing engineers to visually construct multi-step test profiles, set voltage ramps, configure dwell times, and define pass/fail limits without navigating nested menus. Real-time measurement charts display voltage, current, and resistance trends during test execution, enabling immediate detection of insulation degradation, arc events, or DUT anomalies. This approach reduces operator training time, minimizes setup errors, and accelerates validation workflows in high-mix manufacturing environments.
Precision Measurement with DSP Technology and Arc Detection
Advanced DSP technology enables high-speed voltage regulation, pico-ampere leakage current measurement (100 pA resolution), and tera-ohm insulation resistance readings with phase angle analysis to separate resistive and capacitive leakage components. High-power DC models provide rapid charge/discharge cycles for high-capacitance devices such as inverters, motor drives, and solar panels, significantly reducing test cycle time compared to standard hipot platforms. Configurable arc detection with dual-parameter limits (amplitude and pulse width) improves breakdown sensitivity while reducing false failures caused by external noise or fixture effects.
Built for Automated Production and Scalable Test Systems
The V10X is designed for automated production lines and scalable test systems. Native SCPI command support over Ethernet, USB, RS232, and optional GPIB allows integration with Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES), Statistical Process Control (SPC) platforms, and custom test software. The system directly controls up to 1,600 high-voltage scanner channels for multi-point testing without external relay controllers, enabling complex cable harness, connector array, and multi-DUT configurations. Built-in PDF report generation and CSV data export provide audit-ready documentation with timestamp, operator ID, and full measurement traceability for ISO, IEC, and UL compliance requirements.
Multi-Layer Safety Architecture and Compliance Support
Multi-layer safety architecture includes Ground Fault Interruption (GFI) for earth leakage detection, Safety Fault Interlock (SFI™) for high-speed HV shutdown, and Test Lead Safety Sense (TLSS™) for continuous verification of proper lead connection and DUT grounding. Optional 40-amp ground bond capability supports low-resistance safety conductor verification in appliances, power tools, and industrial equipment per IEC 61010, IEC 60335, and UL 61010 standards. The system supports 400 Hz testing for avionics and military applications, ensuring accurate compliance verification for aerospace power systems.
