KP-1060 Capacitor Discharge Tester is built for residual voltage and capacitor discharge safety tests under IEC 62368, IEC 60335-1 and IEC 60601-1, with a 0-300V test range, 10A rated current, 3KVA load capacity, 100±5MΩ measuring resistance and 1s / 2s power-off timing modes.

Why Residual Voltage Testing Is Critical

After a product is disconnected from mains power, stored energy in X capacitors and internal circuits can still create an electric shock risk. For power adapters, household appliances, medical electrical equipment and information technology products, the discharge time and remaining voltage must be verified before certification testing moves forward.

The KingPo KP-1060 Capacitor Discharge Tester gives laboratories a controlled way to disconnect power at a defined point and capture the voltage decay curve. This helps engineers confirm whether the product can reduce accessible voltage within the required time limit.

Standards and Test Applications

KP-1060 is used for discharge verification linked to major product safety standards, including IEC 62368 for audio/video and ICT equipment, IEC 60335-1 for household appliances, and IEC 60601-1 for medical electrical equipment. It is suitable for R&D labs, factory quality teams and third-party test laboratories that need repeatable residual voltage data.

Key Technical Parameters

KingPo Engineer's Field Advice

In real laboratory work, the most common error comes from unstable power-off timing. If the tester disconnects at a random phase point, or if the probe resistance is not controlled, the same product can show different residual voltage values in repeated tests. This is especially noticeable on products with X capacitors or power supply filters.

KP-1060 addresses this by combining fixed 1s and 2s timing modes with a 100±5MΩ measuring resistance path. The design helps reduce operator timing error and keeps the discharge measurement condition consistent. For busy safety labs, this repeatability makes it easier to compare engineering samples, confirm design changes and prepare cleaner certification records.

Recommended Laboratory Workflow

1. Confirm the product rating, test standard and required discharge time before wiring.
2. Set the KP-1060 test voltage within the 0-300V range according to the sample requirement.
3. Select the correct 1s or 2s timing mode based on the clause being checked.
4. Run several cycles to verify whether the residual voltage result is stable.
5. Record peak voltage, discharge curve behavior and final residual voltage for the test report.

Who Should Use KP-1060

This tester is suitable for manufacturers of power supplies, household appliances, medical devices, lighting products, chargers, control boards and other electrical products that include capacitors connected to mains circuits. It helps teams find discharge problems before formal compliance testing, reducing redesign time and sample rejection risk.
