D.C. Hi-Pot Adapter. For quick, reliable fault detection on undergroundcables, these units are available for phase-to-phase system voltages up to 16 kV. By converting A.C. source voltage to pulsatingD.C., these adapters permit testing of cables with a potential level equal to peak source voltage. This field effective method provesespecially beneficial for: Testing new cable before initialenergizing, Testing repaired cable before re-energizing. Testing suspectcable spans for faults. For metered readout, the Hi-Pot Adapters work in conjunction with chance Phasing Tool No. H1876. A brassmale fitting inside the larger end of either adapter simply threads onto the meter probe of the phasing tool. For testing andsubsequent discharging, a brass female fitting at the smaller end of the adapter accepts either Chance Elbow Adapters or Bushing Adaptersfor 15 through 35 kV. Illustrated instruction booklet shippedwith each Hi-Pot Adapter explains testing and discharging procedures.
