Ring Wave Generators
Ring wave transients are a non-repeating damped oscillatory waveform simulated in conducted immunity testing. Conducted immunity, also known as conducted susceptibility, is a facet of EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) testing. Generating a ring wave replicates a type of electrical transient a device or system may experience, especially on low-voltage cables in residential or industrial environments.
ATEC carries a variety of ring wave immunity test generators for rental or calibration, with industry-leading rates and including manufacturers such as EMC Partner, EM Test, and Teseq.
Often a generator will include the option to perform multiple times of transient immunity testing, and ATEC can provide a test generator that covers all types of transients.

What is a Ring Wave Test?
In the field, a ring wave transient is induced by one of various electrical faults. Whether by indirect lightning, electrical network switching, or insulation deterioration, a transient can occur and cause damage to a power grid. These generators simulate this or other types of transients to determine whether power/data lines as well as commercial and industrial products connected to the grid can withstand ring wave surges.Often a generator will include the option to perform multiple times of transient immunity testing, and ATEC can provide a test generator that covers all types of transients.
