PG 10-10000 Surge Current Generator 2x 50kA

The SURGE TEST GENERATOR PG 10-10000 delivers surge current pulses with the waveform 8/20µs, acc. to IEC 60. It was designed for testing surge protection devices. Moreover, the generator can be used for testing two-gap over-voltage protectors. It delivers surge current pulses synchronous at two impulse current outputs, peak value adjustable 0.5 - 50 kA for each output. Positive or negative polarity of output current can be selected.

pulse current test of surge protection devices

- 50 kA for each output. Positive or negative polarity of output current can be selected.

Output terminals are located on the top of the generator and are protected by an isolating cover, see option 1. The safety test cover has a limit switch, which is connected to the interlock loop of the generator. Interrupting the safety interlock loop causes de-energization of the high-voltage pulse generator and discharging of the energy storage capacitor.

PG 10-10000 features a microprocessor-controlled user interface and display unit for ease of use. The microprocessor allows the user to define and execute test sequences. The test parameters, which are shown on the built-in display, are easily adjusted by means of the rotary encoder. A standard parallel interface provides the ability to print a summary of the test parameters whilst testing is being carried out.

Moreover all generator functions may be computer-controlled via the isolated optical interface.
