The High Voltage Lightning Impulse Test Equipment is a complete impulse voltage testing solution for evaluating the insulation and electrical performance of high-voltage equipment under transient impulse conditions.

The system can generate controlled lightning impulse and switching impulse voltages and can be configured with chopping and measurement systems for different testing requirements.

Its modular architecture allows the test system to be adapted to different voltage levels, energy requirements and test objects.

Evaluate the impulse withstand capability of ceramic, glass and composite insulators used in transmission and distribution systems.

Perform impulse voltage tests on power cables and cable accessories to evaluate insulation performance under transient overvoltage.

Used for insulation testing of gas-insulated switchgear and related high-voltage components.
