The 4048A is a HiPot from Associated Research. HiPot, or high potential, is a class of electronic test equipment used to verify electrical insulation. Engineers use HiPot-testing instruments on cables, wires, circuit boards, appliances, electric motors, and transformers. As a product ages, its insulation may break down and result in current flow leakage. HiPot testers keep engineers safe from current leakages by detecting gaps and defects in the electronic device. Dielectric Testers, Insulation Testers, and Megohmmeters are similar to HiPot testers. Popular manufacturers include Biddle, Megger, Fluke, Associated Research, Quadtech, Instek, and Slaughter.
Additional Features:
Input: 115V, 50/60 Hz
Output: Continuously adjustable from zero to 5 kV DC with a maximum energy level of 64 millijoules for Electro-static Discharge testing (2 miliamperes maximum current at maximum DC test voltage).
The Associated Research 4048A is a combination Electro-Static-Disch
arge (ESD) tester and AC Dielectric Withstand (Hypot) Tester. It serves as a field maintenance tool, a Q.C. tool, as well as an R and D tool. Its ESD capabilities is well suited for evaluating electronic equipment, particularly computer equipment, for susceptibility to static electricity. As an AC Hypot, dielectric withstand (overvoltage) tests can be performed to check integrity of the electrical insulation system.
