EM TEST CSS 500N10 Current Surge Generator
Description
CSS 500N10 – Compact Tester for Surge Currents 8/20 µs up to 10 kA
EM TEST CSS 500N10 Current Surge Generator is designed to determine the characteristics of a protection device such as a varistor. Surge current pulses with a wave shape of 8/20µs are commonly requested to test and determine the characteristics of protection elements. Typically, current surge pulses such as 8/20µs, 10/350µs or 10/1,000µs are applied to test such components.
Within the range of current surge generators Maxim Instruments offers solutions for small energy varistors with test currents up to 1,200A as well as generators ranging up to 10kA (8/20µs surge current) or 4kA (10/350µs surge current).
Features
- Surge current 8/20µs up to 10kA
- Built-in voltage/current monitors (depending on model)
- Interlock
- Warning lamp control
- Test box with interlock (option)
- USB (optical link) and GPIB interface
