EM TEST VSS 500N12.7 Voltage Surge Simulator
Description
VSS 500N12.7 Voltage Surge Simulator for Isolation (voltage withstand) testing up to 12 kV as per IEC 60950-1
EM TEST VSS 500N12.7 Voltage Surge Simulator generates high voltage transients as required for Information technology equipment by the IEC 60950-1, IEC 60065 and ITU-T K.44 standards. The voltage surge pulses are used to test the isolation (voltage withstand) capability of components, sockets, connectors, cables and many other items.
Spark over detection and voltage/current measuring functions are included in the generator.
Testing the voltage withstand capability by means of a transient test pulse is the most common alternative to tests using A.C. or D.C. voltages.
