The Lightning Impulse Generator for Insulation Withstand Testing is designed to help electrical equipment manufacturers and laboratories evaluate insulation performance under specified impulse voltage conditions.
Impulse testing forms part of the verification process for selected high-voltage electrical equipment. The applicable voltage, waveform, test sequence, and acceptance criteria depend on the product specification and relevant standards.
The system can be configured for factory quality control, type testing, research, and other approved laboratory applications.
Configurable impulse voltage output.
Full-wave lightning impulse generation.
Optional chopped-wave functions.
Digital waveform measurement and recording.
Configurable operating and protection functions.
Test data documentation where supported.
Customized system configurations for different test objects.
Insulation Withstand Testing: Applies the specified impulse voltage to the test object according to the approved test procedure.
Waveform Verification: Records the applied waveform through a suitable measuring system.
Repeatable Test Procedures: Configured controls can support consistent operating parameters.
Quality Documentation: Digital records can support internal quality review and traceability.

Need reliable test documentation: Confirm available data storage, waveform export, reporting, and calibration information.
Uncertain standard compliance: Identify the exact applicable standard and edition before defining the technical requirements.
Need consistent testing procedures: Review control functions, measurement capability, operating modes, and test setup requirements.
Concern about long-term support: Clarify the availability of documentation, spare parts, maintenance guidance, and technical assistance.
Q1: Can the generator be used for routine factory testing?
Yes, when the selected configuration meets the factory's test requirements and approved operating procedures.
Q2: Does impulse testing replace other insulation tests?
No. It is one part of insulation evaluation. Other tests may be required according to the equipment and applicable standards.
Q3: Can test results be saved?
Data storage and export depend on the selected measurement and control software.
Q4: Which standards may be relevant?
IEC 60060-1 and IEEE Std 4 may be relevant to high-voltage impulse testing, depending on the application. Confirm the required standard and edition for the actual project.
Q5: How should we select a model?
Provide the test object, required impulse voltage, waveform, test procedure, and applicable standard.
