Ensuring the safe and stable operation of equipment is of utmost importance in the power system. Imagine if an important transformer or cable suddenly went on strike due to insulation issues, how much damage would it cause? At this point, a "health check-up officer" - an AC/DC withstand voltage testing device - is needed to conduct a comprehensive "health check-up" for high-voltage equipment.

What is an AC/DC voltage withstand test device?

Simply put, it is a device that can apply high voltage (including AC and DC) to detect the tolerance of insulation materials in electrical equipment when subjected to voltages above the rated working voltage. By applying different levels of voltage, we can determine whether there are defects in the insulation of the equipment, such as oil stains, moisture, material aging, etc., in order to detect potential risks in advance.

What are the factors that affect the effectiveness of the withstand voltage test?

Voltage level and waveform: Different devices require different levels of AC or DC voltage to be applied, and the waveform of the voltage (such as sine wave, pulse wave) can also affect the test results.

Test time: If the test time is too short, it may not expose insulation issues, while if it is too long, it may cause unnecessary damage to good equipment.

Environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, and altitude can all affect the breakdown voltage of insulation and need to be considered during testing.

Equipment status: The manufacturing quality, service life, and operating environment of the device under test can all affect its insulation performance.

What tools can help us better conduct pressure tests?

In addition to the core AC/DC withstand voltage test device, we also need some auxiliary tools to ensure the accuracy and safety of the test. For example:

Insulation resistance tester: Before the withstand voltage test, check the initial state of the insulation resistance to determine whether the insulation is qualified.

Discharge device: After the test is completed, safely release the residual charge stored in the equipment.

High voltage cable: used to connect test devices and equipment under test, it needs to have sufficient voltage resistance and good insulation performance.

What are the links related to the withstand voltage test?

Voltage withstand test is not only an inspection item before the equipment leaves the factory, but also plays an important role in various stages such as equipment installation, overhaul, operation and maintenance. Especially when conducting insulation performance testing on critical equipment such as power cables, transformers, and transformers, voltage withstand testing is an indispensable part that can effectively reduce equipment failures caused by insulation aging or defects.

How can we do better?

Accurate selection of test parameters: Set appropriate test voltage and time based on equipment type, voltage level, and relevant standards.

Optimize the experimental environment: Try to conduct experiments in a stable environment that meets the requirements and reduces external interference.
