HiPot test on wires in oven
HiPot test on wires in oven
(OP)
I'm going to be doing a hipot breakdown on some wires with rubber insulation in an oven chamber. The chamber has a hole on top and bottom where I can connect the AC output and ground. The oven is going to be set at 550F while breaking down. If I wrap a portion of the insulated wire with metal sheet and connect it to ground, am I going to fry the oven? What is a safer way to go about this?

Lay a coil of the wire on a "cookie sheet" and attach the ground to the sheet. Try not to pinch or crimp the teflon insulation, or it will break down there.
