We explore limitations of continuity and HiPot testing, disproving three commonly held misconceptions. Read more (html)
We discuss testing of twisted pair cables and why a twisted cable that passes continuity alone is not a fail-safe indicator that wire twists are wired correctly. We show which twist errors can be detected with a simple continuity test, and which require a twist wire measurement. Read more (html)
Without performing these checks, you run the risk of releasing or accepting faulty product. It is important to know and understand the parameters against which your cable or harness has been judged to have “passed”. Read more (html)

We show that it is not necessary to apply voltage to shield conductors to accurately test insulation resistance as long as the shields remain at zero volts when the other wires are tested at high voltage.

Probar la continuidad y aislamiento utilizando probadores de cables multi conductores es una parte esencial del proceso de trabajo. Las pruebas exhaustivas antes y después de la instalación reducen las probabilidades de fallas del dispositivo, incluyendo eventos catastróficos como incendios e inundaciones. En este articulo introducimos un entendimiento básico de lo que implican pruebas exhaustivas de continuidad y de HiPot.

Testing continuity & HiPot using multiconductor cable testers is an essential part of the workflow. Thorough testing prior to and after installation reduces the likelihood of device failure including catastrophic events such as fire. It is simply not sufficient to rely on “glow-wire” specifications to prevent fire. In this article we introduce a basic understanding of what ‘thorough’ continuity and HiPot testing entails.
Our dependence on complex systems in modern manufacturing leaves us vulnerable to unexpected process failure that may have expensive consequences. While we cannot foresee the future, our awareness of failure modes should lead to simple preventve measures. Employ these precautions to help avoid preventable accidents that extract a heavy cost in time and inconvenience to correct.
