Safety tester checks PCB compliance
PCB manufacturers can take advantage of a fast, reliable and safe solution to meet the growing demand for flash/hipot testing (2kV) of unpopulated boards.
Particularly valuable for applications where tools may incorporate an integral "no volt" operating switch, the SafeCheck 5S performs tests that include earth bond, short test, leakage and continuity and polarity of extension or power cords.
The SafeCheck 5S tests ground bonds with current up to 10A pass level 0.5W.
Its short test line to ground has an open circuit test voltage nominal 8V AC fail trip equivalent to a 7mA leakage.
Its short test line to neutral has an open circuit test voltage nominal 8V AC fail trip set to 3W.
The instrument tests for run leakage with equipment running at supply voltage and leakage measurement for fail set at 0.75mA.
Additionally, the SafeCheck 5S's earth bond test for extension cords is an end-to-end test on the earth conductor with 0.5W fail point 12V continuity/polarity test end-to-end line and neutral conductors. Request a free brochure from Clare Instruments ...
