EM TEST VSS 500N12-series Voltage Surge Simulator
Description
VSS 500N12-series – 12kV Voltage Surge Simulator for voltage withstand testing as per IEC 61180-1, IEC 61180-2 and IEC 60664
EM TEST VSS 500N12-series Voltage Surge Simulator is specifically designed to test insulation material, components, sockets, connectors, cables and many more items to their voltage withstand capability. 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.
The VSS 500N12-series has built-in voltage and current monitors and the Spark Over Detection which offers detailed test results to judge the quality of the DUT. Safety precautions are taken to assure safe operation at this high voltage level.
The VSS 500N12-series provides interlock and warning lamp control. By means of an optional test box the operator can be further protected to avoid direct contact with high voltage and to avoid harm from exploding components or fragments of them when failing.
