EM TEST VSS 500N6.4 Voltage Surge Generator

Description

VSS 500N6.4 Voltage Surge Generator with Constant Pulse Energy up to 6.6 kV

EM TEST VSS 500N6.4 Voltage Surge Generator simulates high voltage transients as required by IEC 60255-27 with a source impedance of 500ohm for transient overvoltage tests on “Protection Relays”. The output voltage ranges up to 6.6kV, covering for tests levels 1 to 5.

The IEC 60255-27 standard requires a fixed energy of 0.5 J at the 1000 V and 5000 V test levels which corresponds to no-load waveshape per IEC 61180-1.

The VSS 500N6.4 offers Pre-programmed Standard Test routines that allow users to change parameters on-line during their test. To comply with safety regulations the VSS 500N6.4 is equipped with a contact to control warning lamps and with a safety interlock.
