withstand voltage test

The withstand voltage test is crucial for testing high-voltage equipment, assessing its insulation performance and ability to withstand electric shock, ensuring its safety and reliability. It typically includes two types: AC and DC withstand voltage tests. These tests differ in principles and applications, which will be explained in more detail below.

The AC withstand voltage test is a destructive test in the insulation test. It can only be carried out after other non-destructive tests (such as insulation resistance and absorption ratio test, DC leakage test, dielectric loss tangent and insulation oil test) are passed. After this test is passed, the transformer can be put into operation.
