Hi-Pot Test (Covers Installed)
The technician will change three functions of the hi-pot tester to set up for the test: voltage,
trip current, and dwell time. To configure the hi-pot tester. Press the SET button to select either
VOLTAGE, CURRENT, or DWELL. (When the correct setting is selected, the corresponding
LED will blink on the face of the hi-pot tester.) Use the up and down arrows to adjust for the
proper value. See table 6.5.4 for the values for the docker hi-pot test.
WARNING: DO NOT touch the docker while performing the Hi-Pot test!! Serious
harm may result in touching any portion of the rover while testing.
