PIM 400, PIM 410
PCD430 UL 1449 IMPULSE TEST SYSTEM

To be used for transient voltage surge
suppressor testing of:

n Surge Current Tests

n Transient Voltage Surge

n Duty Cycle.

Using combination wave impulses for 50 and
60Hz power circuit applications.

Transient Voltage Surge Suppressors are fitted
on the load side of domestic and commercial
power outlets to protect electrical and electronic
equipment from the effects of lightning surge
pulses.

Applications are for the testing of single and
three phase protection devices of the following
categories:

n Permanently connected

n Cord connected

n Direct plug-In

A suitable CDN is required as the tests are
performed with the TVSS energized

TECHNICAL
EXCELLENCE

EASY OPERATION SAFETY & QUALITY

e.g. accurate, clean pulses

PIM400,410/PCD430
modules are fully compliant

to UL 1449 requirements.

n System can be configured

for UL and ANSI testing.

n Impulse parameters

guaranteed at CDN output.

n Automatic impulse type

switching during testing.

n Highly accurate and

reliable semiconductor
discharge switch places the
pulse at the selected angle on

the selected phase.

UL 1449 requires
synchronization of the surge
impulse with the test phase.
Haefelys’ Surge Platform
solution switches the
synchronization source
automatically between

phases.

UL 1449 test system can
be assembled into a rack or
used as separate bench
standing units. The
advantage of this
architecture is that the test
equipment can be tailored
to fit in your application,
not the other way around.

A built-in Micro processor is
the user interface and
controls:

n Test/Program setup

n System configuration

n Peak Voltage monitoring

n Test Log file printing

Operating the UL 1449
system, from WinFEAT&R

Software opens additional
possibilities such as:

n EUT failed limits control

n Automatic Test

reporting in MS Word™
format

n EUT monitoring during
testing

n Pre programmed test

routines.

Designed as an
expandable system,
Modules can be used
either

n in a desktop
configuration or

n rack mounted with
other system modules.

All EUT connections are
on the unit front panels
providing a clean
separation between test
instrument and EUT
connections.

A full range of accessories
is available to provide
safe and easy connections
with the test object.

The unit is designed
according to EMC and LV
directives.

UL 1449 system is
supplied with an
additional high-visibility
warning lamp.

Access to all operational
high voltage and AC
power circuits is safety
interlock protected.

All Haefely EMC products
carry a two year

manufacturers warranty.
