SCI 298 Hipot Tester Repair
The SCI (Slaughter Company / Associated Research) 298 is an electrical safety / hipot tester — it performs dielectric-withstand (hipot) testing for production safety compliance, applying high voltage and measuring leakage current to pass/fail products, with a test timer and safety interlock. It combines an HV source with leakage metering, so faults span both sides.
June Company repairs and calibrates the SCI 298 for production safety-test and QC teams.
Common SCI 298 problems we fix
- Safety-interlock malfunctions — won’t energize or trips immediately, the interlock circuit repaired without compromising safety.
- Timer-circuit faults — the test timer not running or wrong, repaired so dwell times are correct.
- Won’t reach test voltage or unstable — HV output-stage failure, rebuilt for stable rated output.
- Leakage-current reading off — the metering your pass/fail depends on, recalibrated against standards.
- Display or control faults.
FAQs
My SCI 298 interlock or timer is acting up — fixable? Yes. Interlock and timer faults are repairable; we restore safe, correctly-timed operation and recalibrate the leakage metering so pass/fail is accurate, with a NIST-traceable certificate.
Is the HV output verified? Yes — output is checked along with the metering.
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.
Return label. A prepaid and preprinted return shipping label should be included with your shipment. If one is not included, we will provide one.
Transit damage. Damage occurring in transit is the responsibility of the carrier. It is not a warranty defect and is not covered by the 90-day repair warranty. Any claim must be filed by you with the carrier; we will supply photographs and documentation to support it at no charge.
