The Haefely PSURGE 8000 Surge Platform Test System is a modular expandable system that grows with your application needs. The modular concept is built around a PC based host controller (the PSURGE 8000 Controller) with physically and functionally independent modules for impulses(PIM #X), coupling/decoupling (PCD #X). The system uses distributed intelligence, and each module has its own application-specific program, runs internal routines and communicates with the host controller. System modules are automatically detected by the host controller, providing true Plug & Play functionality. The PSURGE 8000 test system meets all your current and future surge testing requirements! A modular expandable system that grows with your application needs. The modular concept is built around a PC based host controller (the PSURGE 8000 controller) with physically and functionally independent modules for impulses (PIM #X) and coupling/decoupling (PCD #X). The system uses distributed intelligence and each module has its own application-specific program, runs internal routines and communicates with the host controller. The Haefely PIM 150 contains an integrated Coupling/Decoupling Network (CDs) for superimposition of the impulse on AC and DC power lines. The integrated CDN is specially designed to ensure wave shape integrity at the test system output. PIM 150 maintains wave shape AND amplitude, even with multiple coupling paths selected. PIM 150 with the PSURGE 8000 Surge Platform can perform all the programming functions required to perform IEC and ANSI testing without the need of a control computer. Voltage monitor circuits enable quick and easy verification of the impulse shape and amplitude. In addition, peak measurement circuits are used to help determine EUT PASS/FAIL criterion. The integration in the WinFEAT&R control and reporting software package enhances an efficient set-up and operation of this test system. Most importantly, the test load can be transferred to a computer freeing valuable resources.
