The Basics of Insulation Resistance Testing and Why It’s So Important
In high-voltage and industrial electrical systems, insulation is the first line of defense against equipment failure, electrical shock, and system downtime. Over time, insulation materials are subjected to electrical stress, temperature variation, humidity, and mechanical wear — all of which degrade performance and increase leakage current. That’s where the insulation resistance test comes in. Whether you’re maintaining high-voltage equipment, troubleshooting faults, or ensuring compliance, measuring insulation resistance is a critical step in identifying early signs of wear, aging, or potential failure. With the right equipment and understanding, you can prevent shocks, avoid short circuits, and extend the lifespan of [...]

New Video from MTI! Closed-loop System to Monitor and Control Conductive Film Thickness During Manufacturing
Closed-loop System to Monitor and Control Conductive Film Thickness During Manufacturing This animation demonstrates how Accumeasure with capacitance probes can be used as a solution to measure and control conductive film thickness in a production line where these measurements can be fed back to a controller which adjusts the roller(s) to increase or decrease the gap to keep the film’s thickness within specification. The MTI Instruments Capacitive system has greater than 100 nm resolution and 1um accuracy. This solution is appropriate for measuring the following: EV battery plate thickness Non-woven conductive material thickness Conductive film thickness Roll-to-roll conductive [...]

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 [...]
