HVI - Model PFT-103CM(F) - Portable AC Hipot Test Set for Apparatus Testing
The PFT-103CM(F) is a portable AC hipot test set from the PFT Series designed for various field and repair shop testing applications. These units are compact, lightweight, and equipped with robust features, making them suitable for demanding environments. Notable specifications include capacitive load compensation that enables full load testing of 3 kVA loads with only 1.5 kVA power consumption from a standard electrical line. These models provide convenience with a single piece unit and shielded cable output. They also feature dual range kilovolt meters, triple range output current meters, and a guard/ground return mode to measure total or specific currents in testing applications. With adjustable output voltage, they support overvoltage withstand testing for various testing needs.
Portable AC Hipot for Apparatus Testing
The PFT Series of portable AC hipot test sets are ideal for a variety of field and repair shop testing applications. These inexpensive, compact and light weight units are rugged and reliable. Our 3 kVA models feature capacitive load compensation enabling full load testing with a power draw of 1.5 kVA while operating from a conventional line input.* Models below 100 kVac are single piece units with a shielded cable output for fast and easy test setup. The PFT-103CM, PFT-303CM, PFT-503CM, and PFT-1003CM are compensated enabling testing of 3 kVA loads with a power draw of 1.5 kVA and operate from a conventional electrical source*. In addition, these units include a dual range kilovolt meter, triple range output current meter and a guard/ground return mode enabling the operator to measure the total current to ground or only the current flowing through the sample under test.
