Leakage Current Testing Explained: What It Is and How to Perform It
Electrical insulation failure can lead to catastrophic equipment damage, personal injury, and regulatory non-compliance. One critical aspect of ensuring safety is leakage current testing, which helps identify potential hazards from unintended electrical current flowing through insulation. Engineers and safety professionals use Hipot testers to perform accurate leakage measurements. Vitrek provides Hipot testers that can detect anomalies down to picoamp levels, ensuring comprehensive safety validation across diverse applications. This post explains the basics of leakage current testing, how it's performed, and how Vitrek’s Hipot testers support precision and safety across industries. What Is Leakage Current Testing? Leakage current testing [...]
Cable Testing Applications
Cable failures can shut down production, compromise safety, and create costly compliance risks.

Safety Recommendations for Setting Up a Hipot Testing Workstation
Hipot testing is necessary for ensuring the electrical safety compliance of electronic equipment. However, testing the voltage on commercial equipment can result in errors and even death if the operators have not been properly trained on the importance of establishing a safe testing environment. Before any tests are performed, operators should be thoroughly trained on the effects of electrical currents on the human body, the importance of safety interlocks, and how to program the necessary tests and store them in memory. If operators lack the appropriate training, setting up a safe hipot testing workstation would be for naught. After prioritizing [...]
