CAPACITOR DISCHARGE TEST SETUP

· Loading voltage 3kV

· Current amplitude 2 x 15 kA

· Optical impulse trigger

The surge current test setup is used for HCS3-30 surge current testing of capacitor windings. The tested capacitor is an adjustable voltage, 0.05 - 3000 V charged and then discharged through a triggerable switch.

The capacitor discharge test setup essentially consists of an electronically controlled high- voltage charger (additional device), a high voltage triggerable switch trigger pulse amplifier and a current measuring device.

The control of HCS 3 and the HV loading device is not included in this test set up.

Because it is not possible to build in a pulse current limiters in the device, we cannot assume any lifetime warranty for the thyristors and freewheeling diodes.
