Part 1 of Hipot Testing is a brief introduction to high voltage testing using the analogy of a water hose and how this relates to high voltage testing. Water is likened to current. The hose represents the insulated wire and a leaking hose represents current leakage from a wire. Take a look.
Part 2 of Hipot Testing, continues using the water hose metaphor to talk about what errors you would expect to see during high voltage testing and what each high voltage error represents.
