EM TEST VSS 500N15.1 Voltage Surge Simulator
Description
VSS 500N15.1 Voltage Surge Simulator with 0.5J Constant Pulse Energy up to 15kV
EM TEST VSS 500N15.1 Voltage Surge Simulator generates high voltage transients as required by IEC 60255-5 with a source impedance of 500ohm for transient overvoltage tests on “Protection Relays”. The output voltage ranges up to 15kV, divided into two voltage ranges (up to 6.6kV and up to 15kV).
Testing to IEC 60255-5 standard requires a fixed energy of 0.5J at each test level which corresponds to no-load waveshape per IEC 61180-1. The output of the VSS 500N15.1 is divided into two ranges; the lower range covers the test up to 6.6kV while the higher range supports testing between 6kV and 15kV.
Pre-programmed Standard Test routines conveniently allow the user to change parameters during the test. Fail inputs are offered as standard for DUT monitoring purposes.
