This flagship GW Instek GPT-15001 500VA hi-pot tester is the first in the world to comply with IEC 61010-2-034. It is able to perform AC withstanding and ground continuity tests. This Hi-pot tester is a good choice due to its high accuracy/resolution and a maximum test voltage of 5 kV. Additionally, the GPT-15000 contains a sweep and tabular automatic test as well as a statistics function. The GPT-15000 series has a test capacity of 500VA and a capacitive load testing capability up to 47 μF. The testers are designed for ease of use, the high resolution LCD display clearly shows which settings have been chosen, and whether the test object meets the set requirements. The GPT-15000 can be connected to a computer via an USB host port, RS-232C for remote control and optionally GPIB in order to be able to store data.
When working with high voltages such as 5 kV, it is important that no safety problems occur. The testers are designed to minimize the change of this happening, so when the test is completed or a dangerous situation occurs they switch off the voltage. The testers offer the possibility to save 100 default settings. Of these, 16 can be performed automatically at the touch of a button.
For a Hi-pot tester with the same specifications but lower maximum rated load you can look at the GPT-12000 series. Or a hi-pot tester with fewer capabilites such as no usb storage, No GC function, smaller screen, and no data memory, you can look at the GPT-9900 or GPT-9800 series.
For a high voltage adapter box, you can look at the GHT-117 or the GHT-118.
The difference between the models in the GPT-15000 series is explained in the table below.
