The 3130 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.
Additional Features:
30 Amp Ground Bond Tester
Patented VERI-CHEK® feature prompts users through steps to validate the instrument’s operation
Graphic LCD provides intuitive menu system to simplify the entire testing process from set-up to results
Patented CAL-ALERT® feature alerts the operator that the tester is due for re-calibration
PLC Remote Control allows operators to remotely control the Ground Bond tester
10 Memories with 3 Steps per memory for storing and recalling test parameters
Interconnects with an Associated Research Hipot tester to form a complete test system
4 wire measurement and milliohm offset for accurate Ground Bond test results
Electronic Dwell timer for more consistent and reliable testing
