PSURGE 30.2
Modular 30kV / 30kA Surge Test System
This test system is used to perform high energy
surge tests. Energy surges are generated by
atmospheric lightning in power circuits. A surge is
characterized by high energy and relative fast front
times. Pulse durations are widely variable as are the
coupling paths.
The PSURGE 30.2 is designed to generate a broad
variety of surge impulses. Impulse modules can be
exchanged quickly allowing PSURGE 30.2 to be used
for different applications. Impulse module type is
detected by the system software.
The built-in microprocessor control unit serves as
user interface and control all the internal functions.
When adding the remote control option, it is possible
to use the PSURGE 30.2 with the WinPATS control and
reporting software.
The integration in the WinPATS control and
reporting software package enhances an efficient
set-up and operation of this test system. Most
importantly, the test load can be transferred to a
computer freeing valuable resources.
An integrated test cabinet provides optimal and safe
connections for component testing.
Features
Up to 30kV impulse voltage
Up to 30kA impulse current
automatic polarity switching
Peak voltage and current monitoring
Integrated large test cabinet
Remote control option
Benefits
International application – Specifically designed
to meet and exceed the requirements of IEC, EN,
ITU and ANSI tests for power line applications.
Modular system - The impulse circuit can be
changed quickly and easily by the user. Only one
generator is needed for up to four impulse shapes.
Safe and Easy - The interlocked test cabinets allow
your operators to test safely and easily. The warning
lamp indicates the system status clearly.
Mains superposition – The combination wave
impulse can be superimposed onto mains lines with
the FP-SURGE 3010 according ANSI C62.45. This
allows a surge test on a powered EUT.
Sturdy and Reliable – System components are
selected for reliability and high impulse duty cycle.
Applications
Combination wave according IEC 61000-4-5
Safety tests as defined e.g. in IEC 61010
Telecom system tests according ITU K series
Surge tests as described e.g. in IEC 60060-1
and ANSI C62.41
Component test as described e.g. in IEC 60664
and IEC 61643-1
