Product Overview
The Complete Lightning Impulse Test System is designed for customers who require a coordinated package of high-voltage impulse generation, waveform measurement, digital recording, and control equipment.
A complete installation may include an impulse voltage generator, charging unit, wave-shaping network, high-voltage measuring divider, digital transient recorder, control cabinet, safety interlocks, and specified connection accessories.
By defining the system components together, customers can establish clearer technical interfaces and reduce uncertainty when planning a new laboratory or upgrading an existing test facility.
Main Components
Impulse Voltage Generator: Generates the specified high-voltage impulse waveform.
Charging Unit: Provides the charging functions required by the impulse generator.
Wave-Shaping Network: Adjusts the output waveform to meet the specified test requirements.
High-Voltage Measuring Divider: Provides a measurement signal to compatible instrumentation.
Digital Transient Recorder: Acquires and displays the impulse waveform.
Control System: Provides the configured controls for charging, operation, monitoring, and test management.
Safety Components: Include the specified interlocks, protection functions, and residual-voltage management provisions.

Installation coordination: Define site preparation, equipment layout, electrical clearances, and grounding requirements.
Need for commissioning and training: Clarify which services are available and included in the commercial proposal.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is included in a complete impulse test system?
The package can include the generator, charging unit, wave-shaping components, measuring divider, recorder, control system, and agreed accessories.
Q2: Is the voltage divider always included?
Not necessarily. The quotation should explicitly state whether the divider is included and specify its rating.
Q3: Can waveform analysis software be supplied?
Software can be included according to the selected measurement system and reporting requirements.
Q4: Can the equipment be integrated into an existing laboratory?
Potentially, subject to a review of existing equipment, interfaces, ratings, and safety arrangements.
Q5: Can installation and training be provided?
These services can be discussed and included where available within the agreed project scope.
