Product Overview
The Complete Lightning Impulse Test System is designed for customers who need a coordinated solution rather than an impulse generator alone.
A complete test installation may include the impulse voltage generator, DC charging unit, wave-shaping network, high-voltage measuring divider, digital transient recorder, control console, test connections, safety interlocks, and associated accessories.
By defining the generator, measuring equipment, control interfaces, and safety provisions together, customers can establish a more coherent laboratory configuration and reduce uncertainty when coordinating equipment from different suppliers.
The final scope of supply is customized according to the test objects, required voltage levels, waveform specifications, laboratory layout, and project requirements.
Main System Components
1. Lightning Impulse Generator
Generates the specified impulse voltage using the selected generator architecture and rating.
2. Charging Unit
Charges the impulse generator according to the configured charging requirements.
3. Wave-Shaping Network
Shapes the output waveform to meet the required impulse characteristics under the specified test conditions.
4. High-Voltage Measuring Divider
Provides a suitable measurement signal for impulse voltage measurement, subject to the divider's ratings and performance.
5. Digital Transient Recorder
Captures impulse waveforms and supports analysis of relevant voltage and timing parameters.
6. Control System
Provides the configured interface for charging, operation, monitoring, and test management.
7. Safety and Interlock Equipment
Supports the agreed safety architecture, which may include access interlocks, emergency stop arrangements, grounding provisions, and residual-voltage discharge functions.
Testing Functions
- Lightning impulse full-wave testing
- Chopped-wave testing when configured
- Switching impulse testing when configured

Advantages of an Integrated Solution
Coordinated technical configuration: Equipment components are selected with the intended test application in mind.
Clearer supply scope: Customers can identify which measuring equipment, cables, accessories, software, and safety interfaces are included.
Simplified project coordination: A defined system interface can help reduce coordination work during procurement and installation.
Scalable design: The configuration can be reviewed according to laboratory expansion plans and future test requirements.
