The Lightning and Switching Impulse Voltage Test System is designed for high-voltage equipment that may be exposed to both lightning-related and switching-related transient overvoltages.
The system can generate multiple impulse waveform types, making it suitable for comprehensive high-voltage insulation testing.
Depending on the selected configuration, the same platform can support lightning impulse, chopped lightning impulse and switching impulse testing.
One platform can provide a broader testing capability than a single-waveform impulse generator.
This is particularly attractive for high-voltage laboratories and manufacturers that test multiple categories of electrical equipment.
Q: Can one system generate both lightning and switching impulses?
A: Yes. Multi-waveform impulse test systems can be configured to generate both lightning and switching impulse voltages.
Q: Is switching impulse testing mainly used for transformers?
A: Switching impulse requirements depend on the equipment type, voltage class and applicable standards. The exact test program should follow the relevant technical requirements.
