EFT 500N8 - EFT/BURST TESTER
The EFT 500N8 is the state-of-the-art EFT/Burst tester 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 to 1,000kHz. The EFT 500N8 is capable to generate 1,000 spikes per
second or up to 150 spikes per burst.
Its performance fully complies with IEC 61000-4-4:2004, IEC 61000-4-4 Amd.1 Ed.2:01/2010 and IEC 61000-4-4 Ed.3:
03/2012. Pre-programmed Standard Test routines and a number of selected User Test routines make the EFT 500N8 an
optimum standalone solution for both testing during development and final testing of products and sub-assemblies.
