What is the impulse voltage generator? How is impulse voltage generated?
Brief Introduction:
The impulse voltage generator comforms to the standards as follow.
IEC60335-1:2016
IEC60950-1:2013
IEC60065:2014
IEC 61180-1:2016 < High-voltage test techniques for low voltage equipment - Part 1: Definitions, test and procedure requirements, test equipment> clause 7.
It is used to verify that appliances shall withstand the transient over-voltages to which thet may be subjected. The impulse voltage generator with a wave of 1.2/50ms(10/700ms) is a standard lightning wave test device. The front time of the impulse voltage is 1.2ms(10ms) ,the time to half-value is 50ms(700ms).
Techanical Parameters:
