Art Michael asked on April 30th if Hipot testing is a Routine Test or a Type Test and to my surprise nobody responded in 3 days. As far as I know only CSA mandates routine test but every country continues with the old tradition of production line hipot test.
My questions regarding this: What is the present / future CSA position? IEC 1010 states that all safety tests are type tests, including dielectric strength. How many of the emc-forum participants do routine test? Most dimensioning is based on impulse test but very few sites are doing it. Why?
