From Slaughter Company
When working with electrical safety test equipment, instruments that output potentially dangerous voltages and currents, it is always important to regular review and encourage safe testing techniques. This includes setting up a safe work area, properly training any test operators and establishing safe test procedures. Knowing and recognizing the potential safety hazards can go a long way in helping a manufacturer safeguard their workstation. This whitepaper will serve as an overview of the best approach to safeguard a workstation. It can be used as a general guide to make sure that there is a safe work environment for everyone involved in testing.
It is important to understand that a Hipot tester generates voltages and currents that can cause harmful or even fatal electric shock. When setting up a work area to test products it is important to configure the workstation in a manner that provides a safe test environment. This should be the first step in safeguarding your workstation.

Megohmmeters
Megohmmeters generate high voltage, low current signals for testing the breakdown strength of electrical insulation. They are called megohmmeters because the insulating resistance of a properly designed product is expressed in mega ohms (M
).
Hipot Testers
Hipot testers are electrical safety test devices that perform a variety of electrical compliance tests.
Ground Bond Testers
Ground bond testers are electrical safety test devices that perform electrical compliance tests.
