Current detection response speed (Filter)
This can be set only for AC withstanding voltage (ACW) and DC withstanding voltage (DCW) tests.
Set the response speed (sensitivity) for detecting the current when making upper limit judgments. An i
con
appears during testing according to the setting.
1
On the Home menu screen, press Measure repeatedly until Measure is selected.
Each time you press the key, the setting changes between Measure and Scale.
2
Press Filter to switch between LPF and HPF.
Each time you press the key, the setting changes between LPF and HPF.
3
Turn the rotary knob to change the value.
This completes the setting.

LPF (Low Pass
Filter)
Slow Mean-value response type current detector. This is equivalent to the
current detection response of Kikusui’s general-purpose AC withstanding
voltage testers. This setting is suitable for detecting dielectric breakdown
defined in safety standards. It is used for performing withstanding voltage
tests on general electronic devices and electronic components. This
setting makes it difficult to detect corona discharge and the like, which are
not considered to be dielectric
breakdown in typical safety standards.
Medium With a mean-value response type current detector closer to peak detection,
the response is faster than the Slow setting. Because the upper limit
judgment detection speed is fast, this setting is suitable for performing
withstanding voltage tests on compact electronic components and other
EUTs prone to dielectric breakdown. But, because current may be detected
for corona discharges and other instan
taneous discharges and discharges
with high frequency components, this setting may not be suitable for
reproducible withstanding voltage tests.
Fast
HPF (High
Pass Filter)
Slow Extremely small discharges such as corona discharges will be detected
but reproducibility will be low.
