VSS 500N12

The voltage surge simulator VSS 500N12 generates high voltage transients as required by several IEC standards. The voltage surge pulses are used to test the isolation (voltage withstand) capability of components, sockets, connectors, cables and many other items.

The VSS 500N12 is a surge voltage simulator specifically designed to test insulation material, components, sockets, connectors, cables and many more items to their voltage withstand capability. Testing the voltage withstand capability by means of a transient test pulse is the most common alternative to tests using a.c. or d.c. voltages.
By means of the built-in voltage and current monitors and the Spark Over Detection you are offered detailed test results to judge the quality of the DUT.
Safety precautions are taken to assure safe operation at this high voltage level. The VSS 500N12 provides interlock and warning lamp control. By means of an optional test box the operator can be further protected to avoid direct contact with high voltage and to avoid harm from exploding components or fragments of them when failing.
iec.control remote control and documentation software allows fully automated testing.

Front panel menu and function keys enable the user to program his test routines quickly and accurately. The cursor allows fast control of all test parameters of the programmed routine, thus test procedures are simplified and confidence is generated that every step is carried out correctly.

Outstanding user convenience, clearly structured windows and operation features and the EM TEST standards library along with the flexibility to generate user specific test sequences very easily are the main features of iec.control software. The software is automatically configured according to the connected EM TEST generators. Extensive reporting capabilities help the user to create test reports that meet international requirements.
iec.control is supported by Windows 95/98, Windows ME, Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows NT, Windows XP and Windows Vista. Remote control is achieved either via USB or GPIB. iec.control supports a wide range of GPIB cards of National Instruments.
