PG 12-400

Impulse Wave Generator 

High-Voltage Pulse Generator PG 12-400 generate standard impulse voltages with waveform

1.2 / 50 µs acc. to IEC 60060. It is designed for testing impulse dielectric strength of components, insulations, air- and surface flash-over gaps acc. to IEC.

The peak value of the test voltage is continuously adjustable from 0.2 - 12 kV. The positive or negative polarity of the output voltage can be selected. A built-in voltage divider 1000:1 allows monitoring of the impulse output waveform during testing.

The generator possesses a high-voltage output with a standard source impedance of 12?/40?/200? or 500?. The HV output terminal is located beyond a dielectric cover with a safety interlock. The transparent test cabinet prevents accidental contact with live threatening parts of the test object and allows observation of the test object during testing.

The generator output possesses a current monitor detecting breakdown or flashover 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 software program PG-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.
