IPG 255 

HV - IMPULS GENERATOR 

Impulse voltage 1.2/50µs, 0.5J, Rs = 500 

• W 0.8 kV, 1 kV, 1.5 kV, 2.5 kV
• 4 kV, 5 kV, 6 kV and 8 kV 

The High-Voltage Pulse Generator IPG 255 is designed for testing of impulse dielectric strength of components, insulation, air-and surface flash-over gaps of watt-hour meters, static relays etc. according to IEC 60255, EN 61036, VDE 0435 part 303.

The impulse test voltage amplitude can be set to different values:

0.8 kV, 1.0 kV, 1.5 kV, 2.5 kV, 4 kV, 5 kV, 6 kV and 8 kV.

In all cases the stored impulse energy is 0,5 J, the series resistor to the output is 500 W. Positive or negative polarity of the test voltage can be selected.

A built-in voltage divider 1000:1 allows monitoring of the impulse output waveform during testing. The generator output possesses a current monitor detecting break-down or flash-over of the test object. The threshold of the current monitor is adjustable.

The generator excels by its compact design, simple handling and precise reproducibility of test impulses. It features a microprocessor-controlled user interface and a 7” touch screen unit for ease of use. The microprocessor allows the user to execute either standard test routines or a “user-defined” test sequence. A standard USB port provides the ability to print a summary of the test parameters to a USB stick.

The peak value of the impulse voltage generated and the impulse charge (òidt) are shown in the display for each pulse and are outputted to the record file.

The software program IPG-REMOTE allows full remote control of the test generator via Ethernet light guide as well as documentation and evaluation of test results, according to the IEC 17025. To record definite impulses, it is equipped with an Impulse Recording Function (IRF) Moreover all generator functions may be computer-controlled via the isolated optical interface.
