The high current pulse generators PG 6-400 / PG 6-200 are designed for surge testing of electrical components, over-voltage protectors and electronic circuits acc. to IEC, VDE, etc.

They generate standard impulse currents with waveform 8/20 µs. Short circuit output current amplitude is selectable from 0.2 up to 10 kA by adjustment of the charging voltage of the internal energy storage capacitor.

The polarity of the output current is selectable. Positive, negative or alternating polarity of the output current can be pre-selected. The pulse-forming network contains a high pulse-fidelity current viewing resistor for measurement of the output current amplitude and waveform with a scope.

The impulse current output is located at the top of the equipment and provides high-current connectors for a plug-in test adapter. A dielectric cover with safety interlock protects the high- voltage output terminals. Upon lifting the cover, switching-off of the generator or mains blackout a built-in high-voltage grounding switch discharges the test object and the internal energy storage capacitor.

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 CE-REMOTE allows full remote control of the test generator via Ethernet light guide as well as documentation and evaluation of test results, accordingly 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.
