Haefely PIM 210 8/20µs & 10/1000µs Current Module

The PIM 210 is used for component testing with current impulses.

For testing overvoltage protection elements such as varistors and avalanche breakdown diodes with clamping voltages up to 3kV. Both impulse shapes 8/20µs and 10/1000µs are used in tests according to the IEC and the ANSI standards. These tests include the measurement of the clamping voltage and life span tests with high energies and/or currents. The focus of the PIM 210 is the measurement of the clamping voltage.

For testing components which are exposed to impulse currents such as resistors and electrical contacts. Resistibility tests for telecom equipment exposed to overvoltage and overcurrent can also be performed with the PIM 210.

PSURGE 8000 Surge Platform provides all the programming functions required to perform IEC, ANSI, UL and ITU testing also without the need of a control computer.

The integration in the WinFEAT&R control and reporting software package enhances an efficient setup and operation of this test system. Most importantly, the test load can be transferred to a computer freeing valuable resources.
