Product introduction
The impulse voltage test system is a device used to test the insulation performance of power equipment under transient high voltage conditions. It is mainly used for the impact resistance test of high-voltage equipment such as transformers, switchgear, cables and insulators. Its working principle is to release high voltage in an instant through the energy storage capacitor to generate an impulse waveform simulating lightning strikes (such as standard lightning waves 1.2/50µs or operating impulse waves 250/2500µs), and apply the impulse voltage to the device under test to detect its insulation strength and withstand capacity under high voltage transients.

Product features

High Voltage Output Capability
The impulse voltage test system has extremely high voltage output capability and can generate transient high voltages of up to hundreds of kilovolts or even megavolts to simulate lightning strikes or operating overvoltages. This high voltage output mainly relies on the combination of energy storage capacitors and high voltage generators, which can release a large amount of energy in an instant to form a standard impulse waveform. High voltage output capability is the core feature of the system. It can test the insulation performance and durability of equipment under extreme voltage conditions, ensure that the equipment can withstand the impact of lightning strikes and voltage mutations in actual use, and is widely used in the insulation strength test of transformers, cables and insulators.
Precise Waveform Control
The impulse voltage test system has precise waveform control function, which can generate impulse waveforms of different standards, such as standard lightning wave (1.2/50µs) and operating impulse wave (250/2500µs). Waveform control is achieved through waveform adjustment circuit, which can accurately control the rise time and duration of the waveform to simulate various transient overvoltage conditions. Different test standards vary according to the actual application requirements of the equipment. For example, the impulse voltage test standard for transformers stipulates that a 1.2/50µs lightning impulse wave should be used to simulate the response and tolerance of the transformer when it is subjected to lightning impulse. The precise waveform control feature enables the system to meet the requirements of different test standards and helps to comprehensively evaluate the response and tolerance of the equipment under different impulse conditions.
Multiple Protection Functions
The impulse voltage test system is equipped with multiple protection functions, including overvoltage protection, overcurrent protection, short circuit protection and overheating protection. These protection functions are achieved by automatically detecting abnormal conditions (such as voltage or current exceeding the preset range) and immediately cutting off the output power, avoiding equipment damage or test accidents. Multiple protection functions are particularly important because impulse voltage testing involves extremely high transient voltages and carries greater risks. The protection mechanism can effectively reduce safety hazards during the test.
