High Voltage Inc HVA60 VLF Hipot Tester

Overview

The High Voltage Inc HVA60 is a portable VLF/DC hipot tester designed for comprehensive testing of medium voltage cables rated up to 35kV. With a total weight of just 126 lbs (57 kg), this single-piece instrument provides the convenience of portable equipment without the complexity of two-piece designs. Beyond cable testing, the HVA60 can be used for testing vacuum bottles, cable jackets/sheaths, rotating machines, transformers, and switchgear.
