Electronic and electrical equipment can be affected by voltage dips, short interruptions and voltage variations of the power supply. Dips and interruptions are caused by faults in the public supply network, in installations or by sudden large change of load. Testing to such phenomena is required to proof that electronic and electrical equipment do not fall into unsafe operation conditions.

Automotive Power Fail simulators are used to comply with standard requirements, mainly from vehicle manufacturers, to perform fast voltage dips ad drops (micro-interruptions). Some standards specify very fast rise and fall times below 1 microsecond an electronic switch.

MAXIM INSTRUMENTS offers a full range of generators up to 3x690VAC, 100A and DC voltage capability of up to 600V.
