Overview

Phenix Technologies offers a line of portable 40-200 kV DC Hipots with many advanced features. The high voltage is generated by a filtered high voltage doubler circuit, that is purpose built by Phenix for the exacting demand of high voltage testing. A solenoid operated discharge switch quickly discharges the load after testing. All high voltage components are housed in an oil filled aluminum sealed grounded dead tank. A shielded high voltage lead allows the operator to safely connect the high voltage output to the test object. The high mA charging current, which is standard with all Phenix DC Hipots allows the operator to quickly and efficiently charge large capacitive loads. In the standard series the precision metering measured off of the high voltage output indicates the output voltage and leakage current on large easy to read digital meters. An analog meter is provided for reading charging current. The “B” series has a 7” Full-Color Touch-Screen display with auto-ranging current meters plus many additional features. The “B” series include a separate always active internal guard mode and will calculate insulation resistance continuously. Additional safety features include an instantaneous and thermal overload protection for the operator and the test object. The proven and rugged design coupled with precision metering and ease of use have made Phenix DC Hipots the optimal choice.
