The voltage surge simulator VSS 500N12-series generates high voltage transients as required by several IEC standards. The voltage surge pulses are used to test the isolation (voltage withstand) capability of components, sockets, connectors, cables and many other items.
Spark over detection and voltage/current measuring functions are included in the generator.
Surge voltage up to 12kV
Wave form 1.2/50us
Built-in source impedance
Interlock
Warning lamp control
Voltage/current measurement
Spark-over detection
Manual operation
USB (optical link) and GPIB interface
Benefits
VSS 500N12 - 12kV Voltage surge simulator
The VSS 500N12 is a surge voltage simulator specifically designed to test insulation material, components, sockets, connectors, cables and many more items to their voltage withstand capability. Testing the voltage withstand capability by means of a transient test pulse is the most common alternative to tests using a.c. or d.c. voltages.
By means of the built-in voltage and current monitors and the Spark Over Detection you are offered detailed test results to judge the quality of the DUT.
Safety precautions are taken to assure safe operation at this high voltage level. The VSS 500N12 provides interlock and warning lamp control. By means of an optional test box the operator can be further protected to avoid direct contact with high voltage and to avoid harm from exploding components or fragments of them when failing.
iec.control remote control and documentation software allows fully automated testing.
Operation
Easy to operate

Software
iec.control Software for control and documentation
Outstanding user convenience, clearly structured windows and operation features and the EM TEST standards library along with the flexibility to generate user specific test sequences very easily are the main features of iec.control software. The software is automatically configured according to the connected EM TEST generators. Extensive reporting capabilities help the user to create test reports that meet international requirements.
iec.control is supported by Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7. Remote control is achieved either via USB or GPIB. iec.control supports a wide range of GPIB cards of National Instruments.
