• Controlled Open-Circuit Voltage Ramps of:
0.1kV/µs, 0.5kV/µs, 1.0kV/µs, 5.0kV/µs, 10kV/µs.
• Open-Circuit Voltage: to 3kV peak
• Short-Circuit Current: to 50A peak
• All test parameters under software control
via KeyTek SurgeWare
™
.
• Ability to add a complete range of modules:
– Surge and EFT simulator modules for all major
national and international standards.
– AC mains coupler/decouplers for single or
three-phase lines, to 600V rms, and 100A
continuous AC line current.
– I/O line coupler/decouplers for all types of lines,
including telecom and RS-232.
ECAT

Model E513
Surge Simulator for Voltage Ramps
A plug-in module for ECAT systems
to produce voltage ramps for testing
surge protection components,
such as gas tube arrestors. Meets
the surge simulator requirements
of UL 864.
FEATURES
• The ECAT is configurable as a compact,
standalone system with one test capability or as
an integrated, multiple capability tester.
• Unparalleled safety features for high voltage
testing, including a complete interlock system that not
only disables simulator operation if activated, but
completely removes AC mains power from the EUT,
when using any KeyTek AC mains coupler/decoupler.
• Automatic report generation using KeyTek’s
exclusive Windows
®
-based software.
• Modular system construction provides the ability
to upgrade test capabilities as requirements change
or evolve.
• Single port testing for Surge, EFT and PQF
™
mains
coupled disturbances allows changing test modes
without switching off power to the EUT. This avoids
lost time due to re-initializing the EUT between tests.

SPECIFICATIONS AND TOLERANCES
WAVEFORMS
Voltage Ramps: 0.1kV/µs, 0.5kV/µs, 1.0kV/µs,
5.0kV/µs, 10kV/µs, 0.1kV/µs is
linear to 2.5kV; all other ramps
linear to 3.0kV
Note: Specified ramp rates are
obtained with an open-circuit
voltage setting of 3.0kV.
Voltage ~65µs for 0.1kV/µs;
Durations: ~40µs for 0.5kV/µs and 1kV/µs;
~5µs for 5kV/µs and 10kV/µs
Current ~45µs at 0.1kV/µs;
Durations: ~40µs at 0.5kV/µs and 1.0kV/µs;
~5µs at 5kV/µs and 10kV/µs
Open-Circuit 0-3000V
Voltage: ±5% in 1 volt steps
Short-Circuit 50A, ±10% when the
Current: peak open-circuit voltage
is set to 3.0kV
NOTE: To obtain linear fronts, waves are
quasi-square waves with 20-25%
initial overshoots beyond peak
open-circuit voltages, except for the
0.1kV/µs which is roughly triangular.
Undershoots range from 5 to 25%.
AVAILABLE OPTIONS
E513-VI: Provides monitoring of the peak surge
voltages and currents at the output of
the E513 module. All measurements
are logged by software for diagnostic
evaluation or Go/No-Go testing.
Note: If an ECAT coupler/decoupler
is included, waveform monitoring is
available at the output of the
coupler/decoupler without the
addition of Option E513-VI.
E513-S: Adds an oscilloscope trigger for any
Surge Network.

ECAT: AN EXTRAORDINARY CONCEPT IN EMC
TESTING FOR VULNERABILITY TO SURGE,
EFT AND POWER QUALITY.
ECAT is a totally integrated and modularized system
which offers unprecedented testing ease, accuracy and
versatility to manufacturers, test houses, and anyone
who will be testing for effects of Pulsed EMI.
ECAT is designed to test products according to a broad
range of international standards developed by ANSI,
the IEC, CENELEC and other agencies. The European
Norms, developed by CENELEC, became mandatory
on January 1, 1996 for all equipment shipped into the
European Union or shipped across EU borders.
