High voltage tester GLP2-Basic HV

High voltage tester GLP2-Basic HV

The GLP2-Basic HV is used for testing the electrical insulation capacity and dielectric strength (air and creepage distances) of electrical components, assemblies and devices. Tests can be performed manually with safety test guns or fully automatically via pre-programmed test sequences.

The equipment delivers an extremely stable and precise test voltage, making it ideal for both serial testing and type and material testing. The high voltage is generated electronically and adjusted fully automatically using ramp profiles. A rotary button on the front panel is available for manual testing.

Applications

• Production and end-of-line testing — dielectric strength testing of electrical appliances, tools, luminaires and household equipment in accordance with EN/IEC standards
• Cables and connectors — insulation testing of cable harnesses, feed-throughs and plug connections
• PCBs and electronics — high voltage testing of printed circuit boards and electronic assemblies
• Transformers and coils — dielectric strength testing of windings and insulation systems
• Medical equipment — safety testing in accordance with IEC 60601 and related standards
• LED lighting — insulation and dielectric testing in series production
• Type and material testing — long-duration insulation tests and dielectric strength measurements in the laboratory
• Automation — integration into production lines via 19″ rack and PLC control

• Including calibration certificate — traceable factory calibration

ARC detection

The GLP2-Basic HV features integrated ARC detection as a supplement to the standard high voltage test. ARCs (partial discharges) are detected and counted per period of the high voltage. If the number of ARCs in a period exceeds the adjustable threshold value, the test object is rejected. This is a valuable addition for detecting insulation weaknesses that are not visible during a standard leakage current test.

Expanding the production environment

The GLP2-Basic HV can be expanded with various accessories for a more efficient production environment:

• Barcode scanners — for reading order data and serial numbers
• Label printers — thermal transfer printers for printing labels after testing
• Connection boxes — for quick and easy connection of test objects
• Test dummies/blackboxes — for daily verification of the tester
• Relay matrices — for automatic switching of test objects with multiple connections

When to choose the GLP2-Basic HV, GLP1-g or GLP2-Modular?

The GLP2-Basic HV is the dedicated high voltage tester: up to 50 kV AC, ARC detection, 19″ rack integration and full network connectivity. Ideal when you specifically need a high voltage tester for production or laboratory.

For a compact multifunction tester with up to 9 test methods (PE, insulation, HV, functional test), the GLP1-g is the better choice. For unlimited configuration options and complex custom multi-testers, the GLP2-Modular is the top-tier model.

Make the high-voltage tester suitable for your production environment?

The GLP2-Basic HV can be equipped with various add-ons to keep production running faster and to set up the test environment more efficiently:

• Barcode scanners for reading order data.
• Label printers for printing labels after testing, for your product or packaging.
• Connection boxes for fast and easy connection.
• Test dummies or black boxes for daily checks.
• Free, license-free Editor & Printer software for PDF reporting.
