Provides correct waveform for any panel 10 - 100 nF; taps provided for 100-180 nF are for Reference Only. Can be controlled from computer with Option Testminder.
Designed to generate the surge test described in Clause 68.302(d) Power Line Surge. Output voltage is 2500 volts minimum, peak short circuit current is 1000 amperes minimum. A switch is provided for reversal of output polarity. Optional divider network available for oscilloscope connection. This MegaPulse tester has isolated outputs; that is, no ground reference.
The waveform generated is 2x10/2x10, Vp=2500V. To test, the front panel meter is set to 2500V.
A coupling/decoupling network is required to provide isolation between the DUT, the MegaPulse Power Line and the mains power when the pulse is applied. We can supply our CDN 240/15, built to the requirements of EN61000-4-5 and for use on single phase circuits up to 240Vac and up to 15 amps.
Fuse Replacement
There is a user-replaceable fuse (F1) located on the rear panel of the instrument. It is located behind a door in the Power Inlet-Power Switch-Fuse Holder device. The fuse rating is noted on the rear panel. Do not attempt to replace it with a fuse of any other rating.
Use the following procedure to replace the fuse F1:
- Turn the power switch to the O or off position.
- Unplug the instrument from the source of supply.
- Remove the power inlet cord from the instrument.
- Using a small screwdriver, pry open the fuse holder door.
- Replace the fuse with a new one of the correct rating.
- Replace the fuse holder door and power inlet cord.
Front and Rear Panel Features
Before using your tester, take a few minutes to become familiar with the use of its controls, indicators and connectors.
