A HIPOT test, or a dielectric test, is designed to ensure there is no breakdown when a device under test has a high voltage applied to it, which means that it is a simple pass or fail test with no requirement for data. Requirements in safety standards may require the testing of leakage current, however, so the best example of calculating the accepted leakage current is: If you apply 1000 volts to the device under test and adjust the tester until there is a breakdown, if the products resistance is below 120,000 ohms the maximum leakage current allowed is 8.333 mA (This is calculated using the formula 1000/120,000 which is aqual to 8.333mA).

How do you test leakage on equipment?
by measuring the insulation resistance then by usig the formula for finding leakage current leakage current =voltage applied /resistance measured by megger.
What is Dielectric test?
The Dielectric Discharge (DD), sometimes called re-absorption current, test is performed during the discharge cycle after the test. There are three components of current (charging, polarization and leakage currents) present during a standard insulation test, which make it difficult to determine the dielectric discharge. Rather than measuring the polarization current during an insulation test, the DD test looks at the de-polarization and capacitive discharge currents at the conclusion of the insulation test. The device under test (DUT) must be charged for an adequate amount of time to be stabilized therefore, the only remaining current component is leakage current. The DUT is then discharged at the completion of the insulation test and the current flow is measured during a standardized time of one minute. This current is dependent on the overall capacitance and the ending test voltage. Dielectric discharge is calculated as: Dielectric Discharge = I (after 60 seconds) / Volts x Capacitance The DD test can identify excess discharge currents that happen when a layer of multi-layer insulation is damaged or contaminated. This condition will be missed by both the spot test and the Polarization Index test. Discharge current will be higher, for a known voltage and capacitance, if an internal layer is damaged. The time constant of this individual layer will differ from the other layers, causing a higher current than for insulation that is good. Homogenous insulation will have a DD value of 0 while good multi-layer insulation could have a value as high as 2. Source: http://www.aemc.com/
Why oc test done in lv side?
In OC test , the equipments are connected in LV side since we need to get rated voltage . if it is cinnected in HV side the value of voltage will be less and current wil be more.Hence the ordinary instruments cannot measure this value of current
Do the ohmmeter test confirm the go-on-go test for the diode?
Yes, but only at a basic level. If the diode measures low resistance in one direction, high resistance in the other, you know that it is not short-circuited. But... 1. If it's a voltage-regulator/reference (Zener) diode, you do not know whether it has the correct breakdown voltage, 2. If diode leakage is important, you have not tested for leakage and the ohmmeter test does not do this reliably, 3. Your ohmmeter test voltage is probably no more than 9 volts, so you have not tested for high-voltage breakdown, and 4. If it's a rectifier (especially a high-current diode) you have not tested its forward voltage at full load current.
What is seat leakage test in safety valves?
Seat leakage is defined as leakage that is internal to a valve-between the inlet and outlet sides of the valve-when the valve is in its closed position. It is not limited to leakage across the valve seat, but also encompasses all leakage across the valve trim when the valve is in the closed position. Leakage across internal trim seals, such as piston rings, and across trim-to-body seals, such as gaskets, can be counted as seat leakage. It is important to note that, while leakage through valve stem packing is of growing concern in the industry, governing industry standards address this type of leakage separately and do not consider it to be a form of seat leakage.
