Our newsletter this month deals with the difference between "real" and "total" current when using AC voltages for testing assemblies with wires. If you have confusion on this issue yourself, or if you are interested in new high-voltage test features recently added to the Cirris CH2 tester, you will want to read on.

If you have any questions or comments, call us at 1-800-441-9910.

AC Hipot "Real" and "Total" Current

Often there is a high-voltage dielectric withstand test (DWV) required with a pass/fail threshold specified in current. To better understand that a current specification can be a point of confusion and to understand how different readings can be based on different ways of measurement, read our technical note this month on AC Hipot testing at:
AC Hipot Testing on the CH2

New High Voltage Test Features in the easy-wire CH2

IR tests results for failing tests were captured in the CH2 software. The latest release can now capture the measured IR values of passing tests also. To learn more click on
