Metrology Lab by Hioki
Trends in power electronics products are moving in the direction of high voltage and high current. Many of our customers’ requests stem from high voltage and high current environments.
Metrology Lab, run by Hioki, is a market leader in two evaluation methods: electrical insulation evaluation and dynamic impedance. Needs for these topics are increasing due to recent evolution of power electronics. Our goal is to establish new evaluation technology and disseminate solutions.
Please use the form at the bottom of the page for inquires about the solutions posted on this site, to consult about these topics, and to request sample tests.
Dynamic impedance testing solutions : Fuel cells, electrolyzers for hydrogen production, power electronic components such as capacitors and coils
Insulation evaluation testing solutions : Insulation test / partial discharge test of motors, power modules, and electrical insulation materials
Dynamic impedance testing solutions
DC Current Superposition Testing of Coils Using a Power Analyzer
We certified that a Power Analyzer can be used to perform high-accuracy DC current superposition testing (DC current bias testing) of high-current coils.
Insulation evaluation testing solutions
Automatic partial discharge (RPDIV) using impulse voltages as defined in IEC 61934
With conventional impulse testers, it is difficult to automatically perform partial discharge (RPDIV) testing as defined in IEC 61934. Sequence Maker, a free Excel add-in, quickly creates programs that make it possible to automate such testing.
Partial Discharge Testing of Motor Stators Using an Impulse Tester and Oscilloscope
It’s possible to check for insulation defects in motor stators by observing current waveforms during impulse testing. If there are insulation defects between coils, partial discharges will occur at a lower voltage.
Partial Discharge Testing of Motor Stators Using a Withstand Voltage Tester and Oscilloscope
It’s possible to check for insulation defects in motor stators by observing current waveforms during withstand voltage testing. If there are insulation defects between a coil and the core, partial discharges will occur at a lower voltage.
Automatic impulse testing of motor stators using high-voltage relays
When the test voltage for impulse testing of motor stators exceeds 1500 V, it becomes difficult to obtain relays for use in switching test circuits. Consequently, such tests rely on manual measurement or manual switches. This application proposes an approach for automating impulse testing of stators.
IEC 60851-5 Winding Wire Dielectric Tangent (tanδ) Testing
Enamel wires are used in motor windings. As part of R&D and product inspections by enamel wire manufacturers as well as acceptance inspections and material development by motor manufacturers, engineers test the performance of enamel wire by measuring its dielectric tangent (tanδ) as set forth in IEC 60851-5.
Testing of Dielectric Constant and Dielectric Loss Tangent Temperature Characteristics in Electrical Insulating Materials
Demand is growing for the ability to test the dielectric constant and dielectric loss tangent of electrical insulating materials used in EV and power electronics applications in high-temperature environments. Measurement electrodes from KEYCOM can be combined with Hioki’s LCR meters to meet this need.
