How to Choose the Right Hipot Tester: A Complete Selection Guide for Manufacturers
Step 1: Identify Your Testing Standards

The first and most important step is to determine which safety standards your products must comply with:

Industry Applicable Standards Typical Test Voltage
Consumer Electronics IEC 60950-1, UL 60950-1 1500V AC
Home Appliances IEC 60335-1, UL 60335-1 1250V-1500V AC
Medical Devices IEC 60601-1, UL 60601-1 1500V AC
Lighting IEC 60598-1, UL 1598 1500V-3000V AC
Automotive ISO 7637, LV123 500V-2000V DC
Step 2: Determine Voltage Requirements
  • Choose AC hipot if: Testing most general electrical products, Standard safety certification testing, Compliance with IEC/UL household appliance standards
  • Choose DC hipot if: Testing cables with high capacitance, Semiconductor and electronics components, Cable and wire testing
  • Choose Combined AC/DC if: Full-spectrum testing requirements, Multiple product lines, Future-proofing investment
Step 3: Evaluate Current Capacity
Current Rating Best For
1-5mA Sensitive electronics, PCB testing
5-10mA Standard appliances and electronics
10-20mA Heavy industrial equipment, motors
20mA+ High-capacitance products, cables
Step 4: Consider Test Environment
  • For Production Line Use: High speed (fast testing cycles), Auto PASS/FAIL with buzzer/light alarm, Data output for quality tracking, Compact size for production floor
  • For Laboratory Use: High precision and accuracy, Adjustable ramp rate, Arc detection and analysis, Data logging and PC connectivity
  • For Field/On-Site Use: Portable, handheld design, Battery operation (optional), Rugged construction, Simple operation
Step 5: Key Features to Look For
  • Must-Have: Adjustable test voltage, Adjustable test duration (1-60s), FAIL alarm (audible/visual), Remote control for automated testing
  • Important: Arc detection, Linear voltage ramp, Ground continuity check, Store/recall settings
  • Advanced: Data logging, PC software for reports, Barcode scanner compatibility, Network connectivity
Step 6: Budget Considerations
Budget Level What You Get
$500-1,500 Basic manual hipot, limited features
$1,500-3,000 Semi-automatic, adjustable settings
$3,000-6,000 Full-featured, AC/DC, data logging
$6,000+ Premium automated systems, PC control
Step 7: Calibration & Support
  • Calibration Certificate — Essential for ISO/IEC 17025 labs
  • CNAS Calibration — Chinese lab accreditation, internationally recognized
  • Technical Support — Choose a manufacturer with responsive after-sales support
  • Warranty — Minimum 1 year, preferably 2 years
