VSS 500N10
VOLTAGE SURGE SIMULATOR
FOR TESTS ACCORDING TO ...
> EN 60065
> EN 60950-1
> IEC 60065
> IEC 60950-1
> UL 6500
VOLTAGE SURGE SIMULATION
As per safety test requirements the insulation between accessible parts or parts connected to them and hazardous live parts
shall be able to withstand surges due to transients, caused e.g. by lightning events and entering the apparatus through the
antenna terminal. The voltage surge simulator VSS 500N10 generates high voltage transients as required by EN/IEC 60065
and UL 6500 standards for safety tests on audio, video and similar electronic apparatus.
Such test is also required by EN/IEC 60950-1 for safety testing of Information Technology equipment.
