FAQ
Q1: Can it meet both GWFI and GWIT tests?
Yes. The system supports IEC 60695-2-12 (GWIT) and 2-13 (GWFI) methods with proper settings and fixtures.
Q2: Is temperature stable during long test runs?
PLC control with closed-loop feedback keeps temperature drift minimal for repeatability.
Q3: Can you customize voltage and plugs?
Absolutely. We offer 110 V/220 V options and local plug standards.
Q4: Do you provide calibration certificates?
Factory calibration is included. Third-party calibration can be arranged.
Q5: Is operator safety considered?
Yes—enclosed chamber, observation window, emergency stop, and fume outlet are standard.
Q6: How fast is delivery?
Standard configurations ship quickly; custom options typically add a short lead time.
