The TOS5200 AC withstand voltage tester is designed to perform withstand voltage tests, one of the four essential tests required to ensure the safety of electrical products. The output is 5 kV / 100 mA (AC), enabling withstand voltage testing of electronic equipment and components in accordance with the requirements of IEC, EN, UL, VDE, JIS, and other national safety standards, as well as the Electrical Appliance and Material Safety Law.

In addition, the newly developed switching amplifier improves test voltage stability, maintaining a constant output voltage even when AC line voltage or frequency fluctuates. This enables stable testing in regions with unstable power supply environments. A full range of functional features is provided to meet various testing needs. This is a standard, low-cost AC withstand voltage tester that is thoroughly designed for ease of operation, reliability, and safety.

Judgment feature Judgment method and judgment operation
Judgment Judgment method Display Buzzer SIGNAL I/O
UPPER FAIL If a current that is greater than or equal to the upper limit is detected, the output is turned off, and an UPPER FAIL judgment occurs. FAIL LED lights; UPPER is displayed on the screen ON Generates a U-FAIL signal
LOWER FAIL If a current that is less than or equal to the lower limit is detected, the output is turned off, and a LOWER FAIL judgment occurs. This judgment is not performed during voltage rise time (Rise Time) of all tests and during the voltage fall time (Fall Time) of AC withstanding voltage tests. FAIL LED lights; LOWER is displayed on the screen ON Generates a U-FAIL signal
PASS If the specified time elapses without any problems, the output is turned off, and a PASS judgment occurs. PASS LED lights
displayed on the screen
ON Generates a PASS signal
  • If PASS HOLD is enabled, the PASS signal is generated continuously until the TOS5300 Series receives a STOP signal.
  • The UPPER FAIL and LOWER FAIL signals are generated continuously until the TOS5300 Series receives a STOP signal.
  • The FAIL and PASS buzzer volume levels can be changed.
  • For PASS judgments, the length of time that the buzzer sounds for is fixed to 0.2 seconds. Even if PASS HOLD is enabled, the buzzer turns off after 0.2 seconds.

*1 Regarding the output time limits:
Taking size, weight, and cost into consideration, the heat dissipation capability of the voltage generator that is used for withstanding voltage tests has been designed to be one half that of the rated output. Use the TOS5300 Series within the following limits. If you use the product in a manner that exceeds these limits, the output section may overheat, and the internal protection circuits may be activated. If this happens, stop testing, and wait until the TOS5300 Series returns to its normal temperature.

 

Ambient temperature Upper limit setting Pause time Output time
t ≤ 40 °C AC 50 mA < i ≤ 110 mA Greater than or equal to the output time 30 min. max.
i ≤ 50 mA Not necessary Continuous output possible

(Output time = voltage rise time + test time + voltage fall time)

*2: Regarding the test voltage waveform: Waveform distortions may occur if an DUT whose capacitance is dependent on voltage (for example, an DUT that consists of ceramic capacitors) is connected as the load. However, if the test voltage is 1.5 kV, the effect of a capacitance of 1000 pF or less can be ignored.Because the product’s high-voltage power supply uses the PWM switching method, if the test voltage is 500 V or less, the switching and spike noise proportions are large. The lower the test voltage, the greater the waveform is distorted. *3: For both True rms and Mean-value response, 50 ms or above response time is required to satisfy the measurement accuracy. *4: Regarding ammeter and judgment accuracy: During AC withstanding voltage tests, current also flows in the stray capacitance of items such as the measurement leads and jigs. This current that flows in the stray capacitances is added to the current that flows in the DUT, and the sum of these currents is measured.Especially if you want to perform judgments with high sensitivity and accuracy, it is necessary to consider methods to limit the current that flows in these stray capacitances, such as by adding upper and lower limits.

Output voltage 1 kV 2 kV 5 kV
When using 350 mm long test leads that are suspended in air (TYP) 2 μA 4 μA 10 μA
When using the accessory, high test lead TL31-TOS (TYP) 16 μA 32 μA 80 μA

In case of 70 % humidity or higher, it is considerable to add 50 μA on the Limit value.
