INTRODUCTION
measured value represents the equivalent resistance of all the insulation which exists
between the two points and any component resistance which might also be connected
between the two points.
Although the IR test can be a predictor of insulation condition, it does not replace the
need to perform a Dielectric Withstand test.
TYPES OF FAILURES DETECTABLE ONLY WITH A HIPOT TEST
Weak Insulating Materials
Pinholes in Insulation
Inadequate Spacing of Components
Pinched Insulation
