Rod-L M100BVS5-2.8-40 AC Hipot Test Instrument

The Rod-L M100BVS5-2.8-40 is an AC hipot test instrument engineered for dielectric withstand testing of electrical equipment and components. It verifies insulation integrity by applying high AC voltage stress while monitoring leakage current and ground continuity. Designed for laboratory and field use, the M100BVS5-2.8-40 meets UL, IEC, CSA, VDE, and FCC standards and was the first hipot tester line to achieve UL Listing.
