What's the application?
A lot of off-the-shelf hipot testers for consumer electronic equipment
stop at 6kVdc (because that's the limit of the requirement for
compliance testing on a 240V circuit) and that's not nearly high enough
voltage to test, say, a high power transmitting tube.
Are you looking to do compliance testing, which requires a stipulated
ramp time, dwell time and leakage limit? Or just to see where stuff
flashes over? How high a voltage?

Subject: [Amps] questions about hi pot tester
Hi All
I need a hi pot tester. Three years ago I set out to build one and am
no where near done.
So I am looking to buy a working unit.
I am in need of what to look for in purchasing a used unit. I am not
a rich guy so cheap is in. In checking ebay I noted some old ones with
voltage to about 6kv and using little light bulbs to indicate leakage
current. Suggestions please.
Thank you
john w9zy
