Combination & Ring wave test system (PIM 100, PIM 110 ; PCD 100 or PCD 130)

Combination waves or Hybrids (U: 1.2/50µs open circuit, I: 8/20µs short circuit, PIM100) , are used in a wide range of test applications. The most common use is to simulate lightning impulses coupled onto the domestic single or three phase supplies. Standards such as IEC 61000-4-5 Ed. 1 &  2and ANSI C62.41 require this type of impulse.
Ring waves (0.5µs rise-time, 100kHz frequency, PIM110), are used to simulate lightning or switching effects in domestic single or three phase supplies within an adequately protected building. The waveform has similar characteristics in both open and short circuit conditions. The ring wave is characterised as a bipolar damped oscillating wave. Standards such as IEC 61000-4-12 and ANSI C62.41 require this type of waveform.
