Impulse Voltage Tester

Impulse Voltage Test System (1.2 / 50microSec) as per IEC 60060-1

This Impulse Voltage Tester is designed for lightning impulse voltage tests (clause 7) of IEC 60060-1. The software validation (for various waveforms) is referred from IEC 61083-2 Annex A Table A.1.

This is a fully automated PC based test system with LabVIEW based custom TestWare™ that conducts all tests based on test parameters which the user supplies based on Device(s) Under test.

This Impulse Tester is designed to generate impulse voltages ranging from 2 kV to 20 kV, with selectable energy levels of 100 J, 500 J, and 1000 J to suit different testing requirements. It produces a standard impulse waveform with 1.2/50 µ microseconds in line with the requirements of with IEC 60060-1(high-voltage impulse testing)

The integrated software is validated according to IEC 61083-2 for reliable impulse waveform measurement and analysis.

The integrated software performs automatic waveform analysis in accordance with IEC 60060-1. It calculates important parameters such as Peak Voltage, Front Time (T1), and Time-to-Half Value (T2), Relative Overshoot, Extreme value & Average rate of rise. The analysis software is validated as per IEC 61083-2 using IEC Test Data Generator (TDG) reference files, ensuring reliable and accurate waveform evaluation.

In PC mode, users can control the test, view and analyze waveforms, save test records, and generate reports for documentation and traceability.
