product catalogue: surge > 10kV

Surge impulse generators above 8kV are designed for applications ranging from component testing and EMC tests through to Lightning simulation in radio antennas. Typical standard applications include IEC, ITU and ANSI for power line testing, ITU and UL for component testing and ETSI for telecommunications testing.

The Haefely EMC  modular systems, allow maximum flexibility in terms of changing impulse types and energy levels within a single instrument. Such large systems are microprocessor controlled and can be operated manually or via specially designed software.

The following surge type systems are available for surge testing above 8kV:

PS1500 stand alone15kV voltage surge generator for safety testing of ITE, audio and video equipment.

Surge Platform  for insulation testing up to 14.8kV.

PSURGE 30.2 Modular 30kV/30kA surge test system safety, telecom, and component testing.

concept

Integrated voltage & current monitors
with BNC outputs allow fast waveform verification using an oscilloscope without any need for high voltage probes.

Easy Operation
The built-in Micro processor control unit serves as the user interfaces and controls all the internal functions

• Test sequence programming
• Impulse triggering
• Peak Voltage monitoring
• Peak Current monitoring
• Pass-Fail controlling
• Auto calibration

An integrated test cabinet provides optimal and safe connections for component testing.

Remote Control
When adding the Remote control option, it is possible to use PSURGE30.2, with WinPATS Software. This unique windows software opens possibilities such as:

• Test program, sequences saving, recalling, running
• EUT failed limits control
• Test reporting
• EUT monitoring during test

Personnel Safety
Built in a robust metallic rack PSURGE 30.2 satisfy all the latest personnel safety requirements. The unit is designed according to EMC and LV directives. Over the standard requirements, PSURGE 30.2 integrates the functions:

• Safety circuit
• Emergency switch
• Warning lamp indications
• EUT access protection
• Wave shape circuit access protection

PSURGE30.2 system is supplied with high visibility warning lamp and interlocked remote emergency stop switch. Access to all operational high voltage circuits is safety interlock protected.

Quality
System components are selected for reliability and high impulse duty cycle.
