Dielectric Withstand Testing

Applied Technical Services (ATS) performs dielectric withstand testing to help clients determine how well insulating materials handle typical and fluctuating voltages. Dielectric withstand testing (also known as Hi-Pot testing) is a crucial procedure for proving the insulator under test functions as required when subjected to high voltages for prolonged durations. ATS experts perform stringent electrical testing to confirm that a product meets safety and regulatory requirements.
The insulation in electronics must withstand the expected electrical loads, spikes, and overvoltages without leaking or dielectric breakdown. Insulation physically deteriorates during dielectric breakdown, exponentially increasing the risk of:
Dielectric Withstand Testing Services
The ATS electrical testing lab maintains ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accreditations in multiple electrical testing procedures, ensuring our services comply with the most stringent industry standards. Our experts routinely operate powerful electrical equipment capable of producing high voltages. They closely follow internationally recognized standard procedures for electrical testing and subsequently provide clients with a thorough and precise analysis of the material’s properties.

ATS tests insulation to ensure its continued performance in harsh operating environments and high charges at and above the expected voltage levels. We can customize the procedure to simulate operating conditions:

More Electrical Testing from the ATS Lab
Our clients often request dielectric withstand testing alongside other dielectric tests to determine their product’s qualities, such as the dielectric breakdown voltage and dielectric constant. We test according to major industrial standards from ASTM, IEC, IEEE, and MIL-STD.
Who We Are

ATS offers consulting engineering, testing, inspection, and calibration solutions to clients worldwide. Clients can ship their devices to our labs for testing. We maintain ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accreditations in electrical testing as well as calibration and mechanical, chemical, and nondestructive testing procedures. If the device is too large for shipping or has been installed as part of a system, an ATS can travel to your location for select field services.
