UCS 500N5V - THE STAND-ALONE COMBINATION WAVE (SURGE) GENERATOR

The UCS 500N5V is a new dedicated Surge generator based on the successful UCS 500N series of ultra-compact simulators.
Offering all the benefits of the well-known UCS 500N5 it is designed as a Surge generator only. This makes it the full
performing Surge tester as per IEC/EN 61000-4-5 with the best benefit-to-cost ratio yet upgradeable to include other test
abilities such as EFT/Burst and PowerFail.
Apart from its built-in single phase test capability it is extendable for testing three-phase DUTs by means of automatically
controlled external coupling networks up to 100A. EM TEST supplies a large range of accessories for various applications.
