Greetings All, Hopefully I am not misinterpreting this thread. I am getting the impression that there is a current limit requirement when doing the hipot test. I thought that hipotting is used to determine insulation breakdown. The breakdown would occur when the current flow (as a result of the applied voltage) rapidly increases in an uncontrolled manner. Therefore, there can be as much current flowing as long as there is no breakdown. The touch current requirement is independent of the hipot or how much current is flowing during the hipotting. Thanks.
