The Rod-L M100BVS5-5.0-25 is an AC Hipot Test Instrument for dielectric withstand and ground continuity testing in manufacturing and laboratory environments. It delivers 0 to 5 kV AC output with adjustable current limits up to 25 mA, meeting UL, IEC, CSA, VDE, FCC, and BSI compliance standards. The instrument features electronically controlled voltage ramp with no spikes, automatic shutdown within 2 milliseconds on breakdown fault, and arc detection down to 10 microseconds. BV models separate total current from real (resistive) current measurement, eliminating capacitive current from the display.
Technical Specifications
• Maximum Output Voltage: 0 to 5 kV AC
• Maximum Output Current: 25 mA (user-adjustable via rear panel control)
• Test Duration: 1 to 90 seconds (user-selectable), plus two switch-selectable automatic cycles
• Input Power: 120 V AC
• Voltage Ramp: Electronically controlled, smooth rise with no spikes
• Breakdown Fault Shutdown: 2 milliseconds maximum
• Arc Detection Sensitivity: 10 microseconds minimum
• Current Measurement: Separate voltage and current metering; BV models display real (resistive) current independent of capacitive current
• Trip Point Controls: Total current, real current, and under current adjustable
• Standards Compliance: UL (File E58530 since 1977), IEC, CSA, VDE, FCC, BSI
– Key Features
• Dual-mode fault detection: breakdown monitoring and arc detection
• Ground continuity monitoring before and during test
• Leakage current limits preset via rear panel control
• Audible and visual alarm indication for fault conditions
• Manual reset requirement for alarms
• Controlled voltage rate-of-rise prevents damaging spikes
• Rapid high-voltage deactivation on fault detection
– Typical Applications
• Incoming inspection and quality assurance testing
• Product development dielectric validation
• Production line safety compliance verification
• Cable, connector, and insulation system testing
