Abstract:
Contrary to what is published elsewhere, electric strength testing is not a margin above the voltage to which the insulation is subjected. Instead, the “hi-pot” test is to determine that the safeguard insulations will withstand the normally-occurring transient over-voltages. This paper discusses why electric strength greater than normal voltage is necessary, and the process of electric strength testing.
