Changing Hipot Voltage Per Net

High-Voltage Symbol on yellow background

Challenge:

A customer had a high voltage specification that called out a number of different test voltages and dwell times for selected portions of the assembly being tested. They wanted to avoid exposing the whole assembly to the higher test voltages and long durations.

Solution:

Cirris developed a custom component script for the Touch 1. This script lets the user select networks in the device under test to be either included or excluded during the hipot test, based on conditions presently defined in the wirelist. When used with the parent/child wirelist component, a number of wirelists with varied high voltage test parameters are chained together to form one complete test.

Results:

Voltage sensitive parts are protected while a more stringent test is performed on the rest of the assembly.
