HVI VLF-28CM Hipot Tester Repair
The HVI VLF-28CM is a 28 kV VLF (0.1 Hz) cable hipot from High Voltage Inc. — a compact withstand tester for medium-voltage cable that avoids the space-charge problems of DC testing. As an HV-generation set, its faults are VLF output, regulation, and metering faults.
June Company repairs and calibrates the VLF-28CM for cable-testing crews and contractors.
Common VLF-28CM problems we fix
- Won’t reach 28 kV or output collapses — VLF generator/output-stage failure, often post-flashover, rebuilt for full output.
- Waveform distorted or unstable — regulation degradation on the 0.1 Hz output, repaired.
- Voltage/leakage metering off — measurement drift, recalibrated.
- Internal HV arcing — insulation breakdown from stress.
- Control or interlock faults.
FAQs
My VLF-28CM won’t reach voltage — fixable? Yes. VLF generator faults are the usual cause and they’re repairable, then verified so the set delivers full, stable 0.1 Hz output again.
Is the output certified? Yes — voltage and frequency verified with a NIST-traceable certificate.
Every repair includes NIST-traceable calibration and a 90-day parts-and-labor warranty. Email us or submit a service request.
Shipping & Returns
Packing your equipment. You are responsible for packaging equipment adequately for transit. We strongly recommend the original manufacturer’s case, or double-boxing with at least two inches of shock-absorbing material on all six sides. We return your equipment in the packaging it arrived in, so please send it in packaging that will survive the return trip as well. If your packaging is damaged or inadequate for the return, we will substitute suitable packaging and may charge the cost of materials.
Insurance. Equipment is not insured by June Company while in transit. We strongly recommend insuring your shipment for its full replacement value.
Risk of loss. Risk of loss remains with you until your equipment is received at our facility, and transfers back to you when your repaired unit is delivered to the carrier (F.O.B. shipping point). June Company is not responsible for equipment lost, delayed, misdelivered, or damaged in transit, in either direction.
