Surges represent transients that might be induced in cables by lightning. By their nature, fairly high energy charges may easily damage or upset unprotected electronics circuits and components. Surges are not a new problem. Many companies have been testing their products at various stages of the products life: design tests, qualification tests, production tests and diagnostic tests. The advance of surge suppression devices and technique does not lessen the importance of surge testing, but rather increases it, as the requirement to reduce power consumption and to increase the operational speed of semiconductors has become more demanding. In addition, the issue of surge testing is attracting renewed interest since this form of immunity is now a must for almost all electronic products for access to the global market. Features Fully compliant with the requirements called for in the 2nd edition of IEC 61000-4-5 standard, the LSS-15AX series simulators provide a testing facility for up to 15kV test voltage without sacrificing safety and ease of use. The LSS-15AX simulators generate the two combination pulses 1.2/50 µs (8/20 µS) and 10/700 µS (5/320 µS).

Fully programmable and easy to use simulator that meets and far exceeds the IEC 61000-4-5 (2nd edition) requirements
