The Lightning Impulse Voltage Generator for Insulation Withstand Testing is designed to help manufacturers and testing laboratories evaluate the electrical insulation performance of equipment under specified impulse voltage conditions.

Impulse withstand testing forms part of the verification process for selected types of high-voltage electrical equipment. The applicable test level, waveform, connections, sequence, and acceptance criteria depend on the product specification and relevant standard.

The system can be configured for factory testing, type testing, laboratory evaluation, and research applications where lightning impulse voltage testing is required.

• Configurable impulse voltage output.
• Standard lightning impulse waveform generation where specified.
• Optional chopped-wave or other impulse functions.
• Compatible high-voltage measuring equipment.
• Digital waveform recording and test data documentation.
• Configurable operation and protection functions.
• Application-specific technical configuration.

Applies the required impulse voltage to the specified test object and supports evaluation according to the applicable test procedure.

Uses a suitable measurement system to record and assess the impulse waveform.

The configured control system can support repeated testing according to the approved test program.

Digital records and reports, where supported by the supplied software, can help maintain test documentation for internal review and quality assurance.

• Transformer manufacturing
• High-voltage switchgear production
• Insulator and bushing manufacturing
• Instrument transformer testing
• Electrical component research
• Quality assurance laboratories
• Third-party test facilities

Measurement reliability: Ask for the measuring system's technical specifications, calibration arrangements, and relevant performance information.

Waveform compliance: Confirm the required waveform and tolerances against the applicable test specification.

Repeatability: Request available technical data and test evidence relevant to the selected configuration.

Ease of operation: Review the control interface, operating modes, software functions, and training scope.

Long-term support: Confirm the availability of technical documentation, spare parts, maintenance support, and after-sales service.

Q1: Can the generator be used for routine factory quality control?

Yes, when the selected configuration meets the factory's test requirements and the equipment is operated under approved procedures.

Q2: Does impulse testing replace all other insulation tests?

No. Impulse testing is one part of electrical insulation evaluation. Other tests may be required depending on the equipment and applicable standards.

Q3: Can test results be stored for quality records?

Data storage and export capabilities depend on the selected measurement and control software.

Q4: What standards can the system support?

The system can be specified against applicable standards such as IEC 60060-1 and IEEE Std 4, where relevant to the test. Exact compliance must be confirmed for the selected configuration and test procedure.

Q5: How do we select the correct model?

Provide the equipment type, required impulse voltage, waveform, test sequence, and applicable standard. These details help determine the appropriate system configuration.
