1516 Rod-L Transformer

• Performs dc dielectric withstand test up to 5.5 KVDC at 10 milliamperes (5mA standard)
• Performs concurrent ground continuity test
• ARC and OVERCURRENT detection circuits
• Fast HV shutdown within 2 milliseconds
• Fast discharge of Device Under Test (DUT) and other test standards
• Production/Quality Assurance Testing
• Fully automatic test cycle


• Test Ready (security ground chassis sensed)
• Test in Progress
• Test Passed
• Test Failed


• Voltage ramp
• Test time
• Test voltage
• Overcurrent trip point
• Switch-selectable ramp and rest time combinations
• Arc detection circuit

• Overcurrent detection circuit
• Solid state HV generation and control system for reliability
• Switchable "burn" featured permits destructive testing by maintaining output voltage, following failure, to the DUT throughout duration of preset test time
• Can be interconnected with M25 Ground Continuity Test Instrument or any ROD-L AC Hipot Test Instrument to simplify multiple testing requirements


• Monitors Ground Continuity of DUT before and during each Hipot Test
• Senses for 0.5 ohm (standard), at approximately 1.5 VAC
• Loss of safety ground connection during test causes high voltage to shut down with both audible and visual failure indication
• Inhibits application of high voltage if the security chassis ground is not secure


• Front panel receptacle is rated to 8000 VAC
• Front panel receptacle prevents direct operator exposure to high voltage during test
• Shutdown within 2 milliseconds after dielectric breakdown, overcurrent or ground continuity fault
• Electronically controlled output voltage ramp rate circuit guarantees consistently smooth ramp
• Visual (audible optional) indication of high voltage applied to DUT
• Discharge circuit provides for rapid discharge of DUT following shutdown


• Arc detection
• Excessive overcurrent flow
• Ground continuity test failure
