Chroma 19501-K Partial Discharge Tester for High Voltage Semiconductor Components and High Insulation Materials Testing
The Chroma 19501-K is an instrument integrated with hipot testing and partial discharge detection functions. For semiconductor components such as optocouplers and power supply transistors, and the safety components for power systems, partial discharge may cause damage to the insulation material and result in personal safety problems due to insulation failure; it has become a safety issue to be addressed. For example, the IEC 60747-5-5 standard for optocoupler components mandates 100% production testing and requires the partial discharge (PD) values to be less than 5pC.
Chroma 11210 Battery Cell Insulation Tester – Capable of Filtering Out Defective Products before Filling the Electrolyte
The Chroma 11210 Battery Cell Insulation Tester can accurately measure the leakage current (LC) and insulation resistance (IR) of Battery Jelly-roll/Dry-cell or other insulation material. Furthermore, it can detect if there is any partial discharge/flashover occurring inside during high voltage detection, and filter out defective products before filling the electrolyte to prevent potential hazards. The traditional insulation test for battery core only measures the leakage current at the final test stage to determine if the insulation state is good. It does not detect if any partial discharge is occurred during the whole test. Compared to the traditional insulation test method, the Chroma 11210 provides a brand new concept for detecting the battery quality.
Chroma 19311 Battery Cell Surge Tester – A Fast Test for the Insulation Quality of Lead-Acid Battery Cell
The Chroma 19311 Series Battery Cell Surge Tester is designed for testing the insulation quality between the positive and negative plates of the lead-acid battery cell. This is done by applying a high voltage surge/impulse before the electrolyte injection. Its output voltage can reach up to 6kV. It also has four terminal measurement and 200MHz sampling rate. In addition, it can detect the difference of the insulation quality by analyzing the resonant waveform. The main purposes of testing the lead-acid battery cell by the high voltage surge test before the electrolyte injection are checking whether the insulation distance between the positive and negative plates is enough, checking whether the insulation quality between the positive and negative plates is good, checking whether the separator between the positive and negative plates exists, and checking whether the positive and negative plates are not short together. This surge test can detect the defective lead acid battery with poor insulation quality, and increase the insulation quality of the lead-acid battery cell. The test speed of the multi-cell scanning test by 19311-10 is extremely efficient, saving test time, decreasing labor costs, and increasing the productivity of the production line.
