EFT 500N5 SERIES - EFT/BURST TESTER

The EFT 500N5 series are the state-of-the-art EFT/Burst testers with a built-in coupling/decoupling network for single phase
or three-phase mains supply lines and a HV terminal to connect a capacitive coupling clamp.
The spike frequency can be varied from as low as 100Hz up to 1,000kHz. The EFT 500N5 is capable to generate 10,000
spikes per second or up to 1,000 spikes per burst.
Its performance fully complies with IEC 61000-4-4 Ed.2:2004. Pre-programmed Standard Test routines and a number of
selected User Test routines make the EFT 500N5 an optimum standalone solution for both testing during development and
final testing of products and sub-assemblies.
