EM TEST VSS 500N15.3 Voltage Surge Simulator
Description
VSS 500N15.3 Voltage Surge Simulator with 0.5J Constant Pulse Energy up to 15kV
EM TEST VSS 500N15.3 Voltage Surge Simulator generates high voltage transients as required by IEC 60255-27 with a source impedance of 500 ohm for transient overvoltage tests on “Protection Relays”. The output voltage ranges up to 15 kV, divided into two voltage ranges (up to 6.6kV and up to 15kV). The no-load waveshapes corresponds to IEC-61180-1. For this kind of testing the IEC 60255-27 standard requires a fixed energy of 0.5 J at each test level.
The output of the VSS 500N15.3 is divided into two ranges; the lower range covers the test up to 6.6 kV while the higher range supports testing between 6 kV and 15 kV.
The VSS 500N6 offers the Quick Start test routine where parameters can be changed on-line during the test. Fail inputs are offered as standard for DUT monitoring purposes.
