The PFT-503CM and PFT-503CMF are from our popular PFT Series of field portable AC hipot test sets. These hipots provide continuously adjustable AC voltage used for a pass/fail, AC over-voltage withstand test on high voltage apparatus, like switchgear, circuit breakers, reclosers, vacuum bottles, hot sticks, bus duct, and any other apparatus needing an AC test voltage.
PFT Series AC hipots test medium and high voltage electrical apparatus: vacuum bottles, hot sticks, motors & generators, rubber gloves, iso-phase bus, switchgear, and other loads requiring AC withstand testing. HVI’s AC hipots are among the smallest, lightest, and most economical available while delivering higher power ratings and enhanced features. For example, the PFT-503CM is the only single piece, 50 kV AC @ 3 kVA, shielded cable output hipot on the market. One of our most popular products, it is used worldwide for substation testing and other applications.
