Description

Various current surge pulses are specified to determine the characteristics of a protection device such as a varistor. Typically current surge pulses such as 8/20us, 10/350us or 10/1,000us are applied to test such components.

Within the range of current surge generators EM TEST is offering solutions for small energy varistors with test currents up to 1,200A as well as generators ranging up to 10kA (8/20us surge current) or 4kA (10/350us surge current).

Surge current pulses with a wave shape of 8/20us are commonly requested to test and determine the characteristics of protection elements.

Fail inputs are offered as standard for DUT monitoring purposes. Peak values of voltage and current are shown in the display and these values are transferred to the software for reporting.

To comply with safety regulations the CSS 500N10 is equipped with a contact to control warning lamps and with a safety interlock.

Pre-programmed User Test routines allow highest user convenience. Still the CSS 500N10 offers the Quick Start test routine where parameters can be changed on-line during the test to evaluate the susceptibility level of an individual DUT.
