PPG-E1-1200 Portable Pulse Generator

MIL-STD-188-125 Short Pulse E1 Testing for HEMP Protection

Absolute EMC is the exclusive North American sales partner for Montena Technology’s PPG-E1-1200 Portable Pulse Generator, designed for testing protective devices against High-Altitude Electromagnetic Pulse (HEMP) at electrical entry points of fixed ground-based facilities and transportable systems. This generator meets the requirements of MIL-STD-188-125-1 and -2 (PCI: Pulse Current Injection), ensuring compliance and reliability in high-impact environments.

Typical Test Setup

The PPG-E1-1200 delivers a high-current pulse either directly or through coupling devices to test the effectiveness of protective devices at electrical entry points. A residual pulse enters the protected facility, which is monitored using current probes connected via fiber optics to an oscilloscope inside a shielded enclosure.

Key Features & Capabilities

MIL-STD-188-125 Compliance

• Generates high-current short pulses for Pulse Current Injection (PCI) testing.
• Supports direct or coupled pulse injection into protective devices.

High-Performance Pulse Generator
