RE: Hi-Pot Test on bare PBC
If you hi-pot an unpopulated board and pass the test criteria don't assume you have proper creepage and clearance distances. When you add components, the leads can violate creepage and clearance distances. If your trying to verify the boards are ok from the mfg, have them do an electrical test on the boards before shipping. Depending on the quantity, there is usually a nominal tooling charge of ~$200 US. Hi-pot testing will not reveal all possible PCB defects from the mfg. IE missing trace, open circuits, etc..
