COMBINATION WAVE SIMULATOR
Surge pulses occur due to direct or indirect lightning strokes to an external (outdoor) circuit. This leads to currents or
electromagnetic fields causing high voltage or current transients. Another source for surge pulses are switching transients
originating from switching disturbances and systems faults.
Due to the characteristic of the phenomenon nearly every electrical and electronical device may suffer from such lightning
events which justifies the necessity of surge tests being widely performed. Surge voltage can reach several thousands of
volts and surge current is seen to reach several thousands of amps.
