abstract:Hipot is an abbreviation for high potential. Traditionally, hipot is a term given to a class of electrical safety testing instruments used to verify electrical insulation in finished appliances, cables or other wired assemblies, printed circuit boards, electric motors, and transformers.
A dielectric Withstand tester (alsocalledhipot tester, dielectricstrength tester, flashtester, high voltage tester) is then used tomeasure this current.
