The simulation of electrostatic discharges is an important part of electromagnetic
compatibility testing for any type of electronic equipment. Several test standards call for
elevated pulse voltages of up to 25kV. Furthermore, demanding manufacturer-specific test
procedures are often used in design to determine immunity limits. The NSG 438 ESD
system fulfils all these requirements comprehensively, and supports proposed future
standards
30 kV
NSG 438 generates standard discharge pulses from 200V to 30kV, in both air discharge and contact
discharge operation. The full range of parameter setting possibilities for polarity, pulse repetition,
counter functions, breakdown detection, etc., remains fully available, all the way up to the maximum
discharge voltage setting.
Handy and ergonomic
The pistol-shaped instrument is designed to sit comfortably in the hand, with the display always
clearly visible to the operator and current operating conditions constantly displayed. When NSG 438
is in battery mode, the operator has complete freedom of movement.
Conformity
NSG 438 fulfils the requirements of all known ESD standards. The basic model is type-approved and
calibrated to IEC/EN 61000-4-2. A range of additional network modules is available for testing to
other standards including ISO10605 and various MIL standards. An individual calibration certificate
from an accredited laboratory is available on request.
Future proofing
Revisions of the ESD standards, including a more precise definition of the calibration methods and
tighter specifications for the pulse parameters are being discussed by ANSI and in the IEC.
NSG 438 already meets the proposed requirements.
