Precipitation Static Simulator – PST-70K Montena Technology’s PST-70K simulator is designed to test the susceptibility of airborne systems—such as antenna-connected receivers—to electrostatic charges arising from precipitation static (p-static) effects, fluid flow, and air flow. Fully compliant with MIL-STD-464C and NATO AECTP-250 Leaflet 253, this system reproduces the electrostatic environment responsible for charging and corona phenomena on aircraft surfaces.
Key Features
High Voltage Output: Adjustable up to 70 kV for representative p-static testing.
Versatile Polarity: Positive polarity included; negative polarity available as an option (swap high-voltage module).
High Corona Current Capability: Delivers up to 500 µA at 70 kV, achieving current density up to 7,000 µA/m².
Automated Polarity Selection: The measurement box automatically manages polarity when changing HV modules.
Complete System: Includes a test rod, analog current display, 18 m interconnecting cable, and a high-voltage power supply.
Standards Compliance: Specifically designed for testing in accordance with MIL-STD-464 or NATO AECTP-250.
