Current Surge Generator, 8/20us up to 10kA CSS 500N10 EM TEST

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.

Highlights

Surge current 8/20us up to 10kA
Built-in voltage/current monitors (depending on model)
Interlock
Warning lamp control
Test box with interlock (option)
USB (optical link) and GPIB interface

Benefits:

Surge current pulse 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.
