Customized Lightning Impulse Generator for Insulators, Bushings and GIS High Voltage Insulation Withstand Test Equipment for Electrical Manufacturers

The Customized Lightning Impulse Generator is designed for manufacturers and testing laboratories with application-specific insulation testing requirements.

Insulators, bushings, GIS assemblies, instrument transformers, and high-voltage switching equipment have different electrical characteristics and test requirements. The generator rating, waveform configuration, test connections, and measurement arrangement must therefore be selected according to the intended application.

Our engineering team can review the required impulse voltage, test-object specifications, waveform requirements, and applicable standards to develop a suitable configuration.

• Application-specific voltage and energy configuration.

• Full-wave lightning impulse testing.

• Optional chopped-wave functions.

• Compatible voltage measurement and recording.

• Customized connections and interfaces.

• Configurable control and protection functions.

• Technical support for laboratory projects.

The test object has unusual dimensions: Drawings and connection details can help determine the required test arrangement.

The test requirements are not fully defined: Initial technical discussions can identify missing information before a final configuration is selected.

Several equipment types need testing: The generator and accessories must be checked against each test object's electrical requirements.

The laboratory needs an integrated solution: Measurement, control, connections, and safety interfaces should be considered together.

Q1: Can one generator test different insulators and bushings?

Potentially, provided the selected ratings, waveform capabilities, and connections meet each test requirement.

Q2: Do you need equipment drawings?

Drawings are helpful for customized test connections, equipment layout, and complex test objects.

Q3: Can the system be specified against international standards?

Yes. Please identify the applicable standard and edition so that the proposed configuration can be reviewed against the required test procedure.

Q4: Can you supply a complete testing package?

A package can be configured to include the generator, charging system, measurement equipment, control system, and agreed accessories.

Q5: What if our application is unusual?

Provide the available equipment specifications, required impulse voltage, waveform, and intended test procedure for technical review.

Send your equipment specifications and required test parameters. We can review the application and prepare a customized impulse testing proposal.
