Lightning Impulse Test System for Full Wave, Chopped Wave and Switching Impulse Testing

Different electrical equipment and test standards may require different impulse waveforms. A configurable lightning impulse test system helps manufacturers and laboratories evaluate insulation performance under specified transient voltage conditions.

Depending on the system design, the generator can support standard lightning impulse full waves, chopped lightning impulse waves and switching impulse waves. Waveform generation, measurement and acceptance criteria should be matched to the applicable test standard and the characteristics of the test object.

• Full-wave lightning impulse testing
• Chopped-wave impulse testing
• Switching impulse voltage testing
• Waveform acquisition and parameter analysis
• Impulse voltage measurement using a suitable divider and measuring system
• Test result storage and reporting, where configured

Transformer insulation tests, GIS and switchgear testing, cable insulation evaluation, insulator testing and laboratory type tests.

• Uncertainty about whether one system supports all required waveforms.
• Difficulty matching waveform parameters to the applicable standard.
• Incomplete measurement or reporting configurations.
• Limited space for installing a complete high-voltage test system.
