New tester from Rigon Specialising in the design and manufacture of a whole range of enamelled wire testing equipment for the determination of mechanical, electrical, thermal and chemical features, Italian- based company Rigon Instruments has introduced its latest breakdown voltage tester. The tester is available in a wide range of models to meet customer requirements. The main target during the development of the breakdown voltage tester was to enclose in one instrument the ability to carry out tests in accordance with different methods and regulations, maintaining at the same time the simplicity of use, reliability and completeness of accessories. The new model RDT2 allows tests according to all main international regulations such as IEC 60851-3.4 and NEMA MW 1000. The wide ambient temperature test chamber allows the insertion of electrodes for the whole production range. Model RDT includes more features than the model RDT2 and could include an

A world first . . . DSE is introducing the first new high voltage continuity tester covering the full surface of a rectangular wire. After introducing a new range of high voltage continuity (HVC) testers last year, DSE has now added a new type of HVC tester made for rectangular wire – HVC 360 PF Flexible – the first in the world. The HVC tester is a highly useable tool for adjusting the processes and surveying the production of enamelled wire. The high voltage control circuit is designed with an advanced current control system to avoid spark damage of the wire insulation or electrode system. Based on the most advanced software platform on the market, the HVC test system is applicable for testing all types of wire insulation with a test voltage up to 6kV. The use of conductive brushes makes it possible to make a full 360º test of the surface.
