What Services Can Vitrek Provide for the Automotive Industry?

Automotive manufacturers can use Vitrek’s electrical safety testing equipment and insulation testers to identify multiple problems during the manufacturing and assembly processes on the automotive production line. Some of these issues include:

  • Miswiring or cross-wiring
  • Isolation properties, sufficiency, and effectiveness of insulation
  • Nicked or crushed insulation
  • Corrosive or conductive contaminants
  • Tracking and creepage
  • Component spacing problems

The complexity of hybrid and EV vehicles has led to the exponential growth in electrical components within cars and trucks. On average, 20+ harnesses are now used in vehicles, each being controlled by a microprocessor. Vitrek’s electrical safety equipment provides the best solution to test power conversion, transfer, and storage in today’s modern automobiles. 

Tracking Isolated and Continuity Electrical Processes

Vitrek’s equipment has the ability to monitor and test both isolated and continuity or ground bond applications in electrical conductivity. Their DC Hipot test can measure leakage current from 0 to 15,000 volts, hold it, and discharge it, ensuring no excess current is flowing to the chassis or other external environment. They can also measure continuity to verify resistance from chassis to earth, trip circuit breakers, and measure all ground bond stresses that may impede the proper flow of electrical discharge.

Utilizing Vitrek’s Hardware Software Tools to Enhance Electrical Safety For Every Vehicle

When used separately or together, Vitrek’s safety electrical testing hardware and software can provide unparalleled testing capabilities for the automotive industry. The V7X series can provide the resources you need to test AC and DC up to 5 kV. With full automation, a wide range of AC/DC outputs for up to 30 kV AC and 15 kV DC, and the ability to seamlessly merge with our analysis software, Vitrek’s 95x Series Hipot Tester is the ultimate electrical safety analyzer for higher voltage applications. No matter the voltage or complexity of the product, Vitrek will give you the capability to thoroughly test and analyze it.

Vitrek’s QuickTest Enterprise software can streamline testing procedures before, during, and after the automotive production process. It has the ability to perform comprehensive data analysis and provides versatile functionality that can be adapted to any testing situation and environment. It provides graphs of Voltage, Insulation Resistance and Leakage Current over time and records the test results for audit purposes.
