General Information
A very low frequence hipot is just an AC output tester but with an output frequency of 0.1 Hz or lower rather than 50/60Hz. Although the frequency is very low, it is still an alternating current with polarity reversals every half cycle. At 0.1 Hz output, rather than 60Hz, it takes 600 times less current and power to apply an AC voltage to a capacitive load, like a long cable. The GDVLF Series of VLF-AC hipots apply the device with a microprocessor controlled, which will control voltage automatic,and can also be adjusted for manual when in the process of automatic voltage boost .Our advanced electronic design provides you with the most portable, to use VLF hipots available. An big LCD screen and onscreen instruction system can display output Sinusoidal , and the in-built thermal printer willprint the test report, make the test process is easy to operate.

Features
Measurement accurate; Overvoltage protection: If the output voltage exceeds the limit users set , the instrument is supposed to shut-down itself, react within 20ms; Overcurrent protection: it is high-low voltage dual protection in the design, theaccurate shut-down protection can be made according to the set value at high voltage side; If the current on low voltage side exceeds the rated current, the instrument will take shut-down protection, the actuation time are both less than 20ms. A high voltage output protective resistor is provided in the voltage boost body in the design and this eliminates the need of additional protective resistor connected outside. AC testing does not degrade good cable insulation. No traveling waves are generated during testing. Harmful space charges are not injected into the cable insulation.

>> Operating Ti ps
1. Power supply requirement: AC50Hz, 220V, stability of frequency: fluctuation less than 0.5%. 2. When using it, the capacitance of the sample should not exceed the rated capacity of the instrument. The overlow capacitance of the sample will affect the output wave form. If the capacitance is less than 0.05F, the instrument cannot output normally. 3. When using it, it is prohibited to boost voltage without load, or to connect with resistive load.

There are three options for the frequency: 0.1 Hz, 0.05 Hz and 0.02 Hz. Timing modification scope: 0-99 mins. It specified the time of test. Range of test voltage is from 0 kV to rate voltage. When the voltage of the instrument reaches to this set value, it will stop boosting, maintain at this peak value and output uniform amplitude sine wave. The setting scope of current protection is from 0 mA to the rating. It specified the upper limit of the current of the sample. If the current exceeds this set value, the instrument will automatically cut off the output and shut down. The voltage protection is from 0 kV to the rating. It specified the upper limit of the voltage. In case the voltage exceeds the set one, the instrument will automatically cut off the output and shut down. "Single" and "Series" connection. Selecting "Single" means that one of both boosters will be respectively used; Selecting "Series" means that both boosters will be jointly used according to requirements.

4. Automatic boost
Click Boost key as shown in Figure 2, the instrument will enter into boost test under microcomputer control according to the procedures as follows:Self > Check > Boost > Uniform > Amplitude Output > Shutdown The instrument outputs a detecting voltage to check the system. the instrument will boost or shut-down depend on the condition is normal or abnormal. The screen will display load unconnected, when the booster or the capacitor sample (DUT) is not connected or there is a failure with the instrument. During boost process, click Pause key as shown in Figure 4 , can pause the boost process, and the instrument will have uniform amplitude output. At the same time, the key will be automatically turned into boost key, which can be re-clicked to continue the boost process until the set voltage of the instrument is reached. Click Timing key in boost process, the instrument will begin timing process, or you can wait until the voltage is increased to the set one, then the instrument will count time automaticly. Then the Timing key will be turned into Stop key as shown in Figure 4.
