AC & DC HIPOT TESTING

For utility and service companies, electrical maintenance testing is crucial for promoting and maintaining
safety. The voltage withstand ability - or dielectric breakdown - of this equipment should be tested
regularly to ensure insulation integrity.

Proper testing and recording of test results can detect existing issues and prevent future hazards.

LIQUID DIELECTRIC TESTING

OC SERIES
The OC Series is designed to test the dielectric integrity of liquid insulation in a variety of electrical apparatus.
This equipment was designed to test standards such as ASTM D877, ASTM D1816, and IEC 156.

FUNCTIONALITY
a Tests per ASTM and IEC standards
a Automatic high voltage shutdown
at breakdown point
a Lightweight and portable design
a Digital memory kilovoltmeter
a Data acquisition and on-board
printer options

VACUUM BOTTLE TESTING

7BT60
The 7BT60 tests the integrity of vacuum interrupters in switchgear and allows users to select desired test
parameters and then watch the sequence run automatically. Once complete, the pass/fail indicator lamp
provides immediate, visual indication of test results.

VOLTAGE MEASUREMENT
KVM SERIES
The KVM Series offers models in 100 kV, 200 kV, 300 kV, and 400
kV with the ability to function in both high and low voltage ranges for
maximum accuracy.

BENEFITS
a Portable carrying case
a Battery-operated
a Fast and accurate measurements
a Useful for a wide variety of applications
a Lightweight

RECOVERY VOLTAGE MEASUREMENT

RVM 5462
The RVM 5462 measures moisture content in a transformer’s oil-
paper insulation, allowing the user to evaluate the degradation rate and
determine the transformer’s residual lifetime.

overview
 Non-destructive test on oil-paper insulation
 Definable test procedures
 Clear indication of results, with built-in printer
 Rugged and lightweight

FREQUENCY RESPONSE ANALYSIS

FRA 5310
The Frequency Response Analyzer (FRA) is used to measure frequency
response in passive elements of a transformer. These measurements
produce a unique fingerprint of every transformer’s mechanical geometry.

FEATURES
 Use of active probes for high measurement
reliability and repeatability
 Integrated analysis tools
 Large touchscreen interface
 Rugged and lightweight

MOBILE INSULATION DIAGNOSTICS & ANALYZING SYSTEM (MIDAS)
The MIDAS series measures and records tan delta (dissipation factor), power factor and capacitance in various
utility products. These units can be upgraded to include turns ratio measurement, frequency response analysis
and short circuit impedence. The MIDAS micro 2883 is the smallest and most compact insulation set on the
market. Its single-box design weighs only 25 kg / 55 lbs - making tests easy both in the factory and in the field.
