LVD Testers

AN ELECTRICAL SAFETY TESTER PERFORMS THE ELECTRICAL TESTS REQUIRED BY THE MAIN STANDARDS CONCERNED BY THE LOW VOLTAGE DIRECTIVE (LVD) AND IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE VARIOUS REGULATIONS: EN, NF, UL, IEC, CSA, VDE .. .

These testers can make 3 different tests in 1 device. A combination of those tests can be programmed:

►Ground bond test (also called bonding test, ground continuity test)

►Hipot test (dielectric strength, breakdown or flash test)

►Isulation test (insulation resistance measurement)


These 3 tests are required by standards during development and/or in production for the major part of electrical products
(standards IEC or EN 60335, 60950, 60601, 61010, 60598, 60990, 60204...)

Some standards require the earth leakage current measurement in addition to the tests above.

- insulation test (also called high resistance test, megger test)
- hipot test to make a high voltage test (also called dielectric strength test, hipot test, hi-pot test, breakdown test or flash test)
- leakage current measurement (also called line leakage test)
The final purpose of those tests is to validate that the product under test is safe for the end user, and complies with the quality requirements from the Low Voltage Directive (LVD), applicable to the corresponding standards (IEC335, IEC950, IEC601, IEC1010, IEC598, IEC990, IEC204...)
