General Description

This chapter gives an overview of the TOS5200 and explains the options that are available for it.

Product Overview

Features

The TOS5200 Withstanding Voltage Tester performs withstanding voltage tests, which is one of the four types of tests This product can perform AC withstanding voltage tests on electrical products and electrical
components in accordance with the requirements of safety and electric al standards and ordi­nances such as IEC, EN, UL, VDE, and JIS.
It is suited to (1) research and development installations, (2) test facilities for quality assur­ance testing and standard certification, and (3) manufacturing lines.
The withstanding voltage tester is easy to use, safe, and reliable.
Newly developed constant-voltage output for stable testing
The TOS5200 is not affected by AC line interference. Because the output voltage is main­tained at a fixed value even if the AC line voltage or frequency changes, stable tests can be performed even in locations where the power supply is unstable. The AC inlet is designed for worldwide use. The TOS5200 can be used without modifica­tion provided the nominal power supply voltage is within the range of 100 Vac to 240 Vac (90 Vac to 250 Vac) and the frequency is within the range of 47 Hz to 63 Hz.
Rise time control feature that gradually increases the test voltage
Instead of immediately applying the specified test voltage to the DUT after the test begins, this makes it possible to perform tests in which the voltage is raised gradually to the test voltage. As required by withstanding voltage tests defined by standards such as IEC and UL, this makes it possible to perform tests in which no more than half of the test voltage is applied at the start of the test, and the test voltage is gradually reached over the specified time.
1
that are required for ensuring the safety of electrical products.
Fall time control feature that gradually decreases the test voltage
The test voltage can be gradually decreased after a PASS judgment occurs during an AC withstanding voltage test.
Window comparator feature for setting upper and lower judgment limits
You can set not only the uppe r limit, but the lowe r limit as well. This i s useful in determin­ing whether there are breaks in test leads or whether there was a mistake during opera­tions. This leads to highly reliable tests.
Ability to save three sets of test conditions
You can save three sets of test conditions.
Improved safety
In addition to having features that enable you to view the output voltage, the TOS5200 also enables you to set the voltage limits, so you can prevent a voltage greater than what is necessary from being generated unintentionally. This provides protection for the DUT.
Standard-equipped USB port
The TOS5200 is standard-equipped with a USB interface. You can use a PC or sequencer to control test conditions and read measured values and test results.
1 The four tests are the withstanding-voltage, insulation-resistance, earth-continuity, and leakage-
current tests.
14 TOS5200
Product Overview
Light-weight and easy to move
Even though the TOS5200 can generate 500 VA, which is sufficient for performing with­standing voltage tests, it only weighs 15 kg or less, so it can be moved by even a single person.
Protection against incorrect operations
In addition to the key lock feature, the TOS5200 has a protection cover for the part of its panel that is used to change test conditions. This cover is useful in preventing incorrect operations when you want to perform tests with fixed conditions.

Only use the included SIGNAL I/O plug to easily release the PROTECTION mode. When you are actually performing tests, use the interlock feature to ensure safety. During withstanding voltage test in which you are using tools, (1) placing a cover over the
DUT so that output is turned off whenever the cover is removed to prevent electric shock and (2) placing a safety fence around the work area where withstanding voltage test is being per­formed so that output is turned off whenever the fence is opened are both examples of effec­tive safety measures.
When the TOS5200 is turned on, a self-test is run, and all the indicators on the front panel light. To ensu re safety, check that all the indicators light before you use the TOS5200. It is especially dangerous to use the tester if its DANGER LED is broken.
When the power is turned on, the DANGER LED lights, but no voltage is generated.
Check that the power cord and all cables are correct ly conn e ct ed .

Installation and Preparation
p. 72
The first time that the POWER switch is turned on, the firmware version is displayed, and then the setup screen for setting the withstanding voltage test conditions is displaye d (with the factory default settings).
The product stores the settings that are in use before it is turned off, so the next time that the POWER switch is turned on, the TOS5200 starts with these settings.

Turning the POWER switch off

Press the ( ) side of the POWER switch to turn the TOS5200 off.
The panel settings that were in use immediately before the POWER switch was turned off are saved. If the POWER switch is turned off immediately after the settings have been change d, the last settings may not be stored.
Risk of electric shock.
• After you turn the POWER switch off, wait at least 10 seconds before you turn the POWER switch back on. It is dangerous to do otherwise, because the protective fea­tures of the product may not work effectively. This may cause the product to malfunction, and it may reduce the life of the POWER switch and internal parts such as the fuses.
• Except in an emergency, do not turn the POWER switch off while output is being generated.

Risk of electric shock. During testing (while the TEST LED or DANGER LED is lit), never touch the HIGH VOLTAGE terminal, test leads, and DUT.

Using test leads

p. 62
Risk of electric shock.
• Parts of the included test leads near the alligator clips protrude from the vinyl insulation when the wires are connected. These parts are dangerous. Never come close to these parts during testing.
• If connections are incomplete, the entire DUT may be charged to a high voltage. This is dangerous, so be sure to connect the DUT correctly.
• Be sure to connect the low-voltage test lead (black) first.
Check that the POWER switch is off and that the DANGER LED is off.
1
Check that there are no tears or breaks in the test lead insulation.

Installation and Preparation
Reducing the effect of noise
Noise may be generated if the outputs are shorted or if the DUT insulation is damaged. Elec­tronic devices in the surrounding area may malfunction due to the effect of this noise. To reduce the effect of noise, connect a toroidal core or a resistor of approximately 470 between the tips of the high- and low-voltage test leads and the DUT. Connect the toroidal core or resistor as close to the DUT as possible.
If you are connecting a toroidal core, it is effective to wrap the test leads two to three times around a type of core that can be snapped o n and tha t is often used with p ower cable s. Thi s type of core is usually approximately 20 mm in diameter.
If you are connecting a resistor, pay close attention to the power rating of the resistor. When the upper limit is 10 mA or less, connect a resistor of approximately 470 (3 W, 30 kV impulse withstanding voltage). Because this resistor causes the voltage to fall, the voltage that is actually applied to the DUT is slightly lower than the voltage that is generated from the product’s output terminals (when a 10 mA current flows, the voltage falls approximately 10 V).
These methods are extremely useful in reducing the effect of noise.
