Oct 2025 – Dec 2025
What?
Designed and built a reusable high-voltage safety enclosure for hipot testing in a production environment.
How?
- Collaborated with electrical and manufacturing engineers to integrate the enclosure into an existing electrical safety box system
- Researched applicable high-voltage safety requirements and best practices
- Independently designed, machined, and assembled the enclosure
- Integrated electromagnetic safety interlocks to prevent operation when open
- Added gas shock mechanisms for controlled, ergonomic opening and closing
- Designed and 3D-printed a PC-FR insulating base to improve electrical isolation
Result
- Rated for electrical testing up to 20 kV
- Deployed as an active production tool in manufacturing
- Improved operator safety and standardized high-voltage testing procedures
