High-Voltage Pulse Generator PG  6 - 401

Surge testing of

• X- and Y- capacitors 33 nF - 470 nF
• 0.2 - 6 kV
• 1.6 / 47 µs
• IEC 60384-14, EN 132400
• VDE 0565

The High-Voltage Pulse Generator Type PG 6-401 is designed for dielectric testing of X- and Y-capacitors with standard impulse voltages 1.6/47 µs up to 6 kV acc. to IEC 384-14, etc.  The generator has the same principle of operation as the IPG 809 but allows the testing capacitance values of 33 nF - 470 nF.

The impulse voltage output connectors are located at the top of the equipment and are protected by a dielectric cover with safety interlock. Upon lifting of 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.

Test devices are connected to a plug-in test adapter.

The pulse generator PG 6-401 features a microprocessor-controlled user interface and display unit for ease of use. The microprocessor allows the user to operate the generator manually or to generate, save and execute a ´user-defined´ test sequence. The test parameters, charging voltage, polarity number of pulses, pulse repetition time 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.

The generator excels by a compact design, simple handling and precise reproducibility of test pulses.

The generator uses maintenance-free semiconductor switches for surge current generation.
