EM TEST VCS 500N12-series Combination Wave Simulator

EM TEST VCS 500N12-series combination wave simulators generate surge voltages up to 12kV and surge currents up to 6kA as it is required for component testing (e.g. overvoltage protection for telecommunication devices) as per IEC/EN 61000-4-5 and IEC/EN 61000-4-9.

Surge pulses occur due to direct or indirect lightning strokes to an external (outdoor) circuit. This leads to currents or electromagnetic fields causing high voltage or current transients. Due to the characteristic of the phenomenon nearly every electrical and electronically a device may suffer from such lightning events which justifies the necessity of surge tests being widely performed.

To apply the surge pulses to power supply lines an external coupling/decoupling network either single phase or three-phase can be connected. The coupling modes and the source impedance are set automatically controlled by the VCS 500N12-series.
