Bring Waveform Intelligence to Safety Testing.
Accelerate EV Battery Quality with DC Hipot Analysis.
Global Compliance & Unified Test Platforms
Standardize DC hipot testing across global EV battery sites with one platform.
- CE, UKCA, and CSA (NRTL) certifications for worldwide use
- Up to 8 kV/20 mA to satisfy standard‑defined DC withstand voltage tests
- Easier global standardization of test recipes, criteria, and procedures

Built‑in Contact Check for Quality Improvement & Design Cost Reduction
Detect poor probing without external continuity hardware or complex sequences.
- Capacitance‑based contact check built into the tester
- Detects degradation or disconnection of jigs, leads, and high‑voltage relays
- Reduces risk of false PASS due to poor contact on high‑value modules/packs
- Simplifies wiring and PLC design, shortening line start‑up and debug time
