Re: AC HiPot tester question
I have done this, Mike, but one must be careful not to overdo the procedure. To begin with, connect a 20M to 100M HV-rated resistor in series with the high-potential tester to seriously limit current.

Re: Fried glitch R...... from an oversized HV fuse
The critical thing is: at what potential does the unit begin to conduct current.

Precisely, but so far never has. We? YOU assumed that I was stupid enough to do this.

Re: AC HiPot tester question
At the potential required to effect a change the resulting amperage might be deleterious. Why not e-mail Jennings to see their fix? Hal W4HBM

Re: AC HiPot tester question
Now, let me ask a question of social and political importance: Is it possible to 'remove' the whisker by introducing and hi(er)-voltage to the vacuum cap? The reason I ask is that this was practice

Re: Rich tells us how to Ram 300+ A through a 40 A breaker.
Correct My guess is that the efficiency was closer to 60%. Only if one assumes that the filter-C stores zero Joules in the 70% interim between 30pps, 30% duty-cycle tuning pulses. . The mains ESR was

Re: Fried glitch R...... from an oversized HV fuse
The boards are okay I guess but there is nothing special about the current trips. All they do is sense a voltage drop across a resistor with higher current and trigger an opto-couplers LED with it.

Re: AC HiPot tester question
It sounds to me that Jennings wants things two different ways. First they say don't momentarily test a vacuum cap with DC, but it's okay to put one in service as a DC blocking cap, de-rated or not.
