Lightning Surge Simulator LSS-FE01 Series
Shinyei Corporation of America is the sole authorized distributor of NoiseKen products. We offer the most direct sales of NoiseKen products available in the US.
Features
This simulator evaluates the immunity of electronic equipment by simulating "highenergy induced lightning noise" induced in power distribution lines and communication lines due to fluctuations in the earth's potential caused by lightning strikes. This is an entry model of the LSS-F03 series. (Maximum output voltage 6kV)
- Test equipment compliant with IEC 61000-4-5 Ed.3, IEC 61000-4-12 Ringwave standards.
- Maximum output voltage 6kV
- Large-screen operation panel with 10.1" LCD module for improved visibility and operability.
- Designed for smooth operation whether sitting or standing.
- Equipped with a display panel that allows the user to instantly grasp the test status (voltage and number of times applied) even from a distance.
- Uses a reliable output connector inherited from the LSS-F series.
- Connection cable settings are indicated by LED lamps.
- Can be combined with high-capacity external CDN (custom).
- PC software support allows for operation from a PC.
- Daily inspections can be easily performed using the pre-check software (optional).
Automated Malfunction Judgment Through PC Software
FAIL signals from oscilloscopes, image inspection systems, and other external devices can be automatically captured and recorded by the software. This eliminates the need for manual visual monitoring and ensures accurate recording of pass/fail results under each test condition.
Automatic judgment recording reduces operator workload while improving test reliability, repeatability, and efficiency.
With the optional National Instruments digital I/O module, the system can monitor and record up to 8 EUT FAIL signals simultaneously.
