60kV Single-Piece Portable Digital AC Hipot Tester

ProgUSA distributes the Hipotronics 60HVTX-DI AC Hipot Tester with full U.S.-based support, training, and service. The 60HVTX-DI is a portable, single-piece digital hipot tester designed for AC field-testing of vacuum interrupters, breakers, switchgear, reclosers, aerial lift devices, and other electrical apparatus.

For utilities and service providers performing high-voltage insulation testing in the field, the 60HVTX-DI addresses a practical need: accurate, safe, and repeatable AC dielectric testing in a rugged, portable package.


About the 60HVTX-DI

Hipotronics developed the 60HVTX-DI as a modern digital solution for field-based AC hipot testing up to 60 kV.

The single-piece design integrates a 60 kV, 30 mA air-insulated transformer with all required accessories: shielded HV output cable, current measurement cable, input power cable, and ground lead. The unit is ready for testing with minimal setup.

A 7-inch color capacitive touchscreen (1024 x 600 resolution) provides an intuitive interface for configuring test parameters including target voltage, maximum leakage current, ramp rate, and dwell time. Both manual and automatic test modes are available.

A guard circuit eliminates stray and surface leakage currents from the measurement, ensuring accurate current readings. Measurement accuracy is ±1.5% of reading ±0.2% full scale, with current resolution down to 0.1 µA.


Key Features

The 60HVTX-DI is built for demanding field conditions. The rugged enclosure includes wheels for easy transport across job sites.

Test results are stored in internal memory and can be exported via USB in CSV format. The unit is compatible with the HIPODirect mobile app, allowing users to view, share, and upload test reports to an online cloud through WiFi Direct. Firmware updates are also handled through the app.

Safety features include a fast-acting fuse, external interlock, emergency stop (E-Stop), and audible warning indicator. Optional accessories include interlock switches, a safety strobe light, and a 120 kV rated grounding stick.


Applications

Utilities and electrical service providers use the 60HVTX-DI for AC dielectric testing of switchgear, reclosers, and breakers rated up to 38 kV. It is also used for testing bucket trucks and aerial lifts rated for 46 kV and below, as well as instrument transformer field testing.

The portable design and fast setup make it suited for planned maintenance, commissioning, and post-repair verification.


Technical Highlights

The 60HVTX-DI delivers output voltage from 0.4 to 60 kV at 30 mA, accepts input power from 90 to 265 VAC (50/60 Hz), and weighs 97 lbs (44 kg). Annual calibration is recommended.
