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
air draught oven to carry out tests at
temperatures up to 250°C.

The model RDT2 voltage tester ▲
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.
