F Flyback Well-Known Member Today at 11:44 AM #1 Hi, What kind of damage will be done to an offline flyback during repeated testing at 4kvrms with hipot tester? The test from L+N to output. Last sentence of this says hipot testing can damage equipment... https://tomdunnacademy.org/hipot-testing-101/ "Excessive voltage levels or extended test durations can increase the risk of insulation breakdown, equipment damage, or electrical accidents."
