Equipment
Pulse Generator
The surge generator must be capable of producing the Ring Wave as specified by C62.41 Category A3 and the Combination Wave as specified by C62.41 Category B3. (one of the following or equivalent).
Coupling Filter
This device is used to isolate the AC power to the device being subjected to the surge. This allows all the surge energy to be directed to the DUT and not absorbed by the power system.
Digital Sampling Oscilloscope
This device is normally connected to the test connectors of the surge generator to monitor device performance.
Alternate Waveform Monitoring Equipment
Test probes can be used to directly monitor the surge waveforms applied to the DUT.
Power Supply: AC or DC, as required by the DUT
