The Thermo Keytek ECAT E513 Surge Simulator is a plug-in module used with the
Thermo Keytek ECAT Modular EMC Test System to produce voltage ramps for testing surge protection components, such as gas tube arrestors. Meets the surge simulator requirements of
UL 864.

Thermo Fisher Scientific Thermo Keytek E513 Specs
| Voltage Ramps: |
0.1kV/μs, 0.5kV/μs, 1.0kV/μs, 5.0kV/μs, 10kV/μs, 0.1kV/μs is linear to 2.5kV; all other ramps linear to 3.0kV
(Note: Specified ramp rates are obtained with an open-circuit voltage setting of 3.0kV.) |
| Voltage Durations: |
~65μs for 0.1kV/μs; ~40μs for 0.5kV/μs and 1kV/μs; ~5μs for 5kV/μs and 10kV/μs |
| Current Durations: |
~45μs at 0.1kV/μs; ~40μs at 0.5kV/μs and 1.0kV/μs; ~5μs at 5kV/μs and 10kV/μs |
| Open-Circuit Voltage: |
0-3000V ±5% in 1 volt steps |
| Short-Circuit Current: |
50A, ±10% when the peak open-circuit voltage is set to 3.0kV |
NOTE: To obtain linear fronts, waves are quasi-square waves with 20-25% initial overshoots beyond peak open-circuit voltages, except for the 0.1kV/μs which is roughly triangular. Undershoots range from 5 to 25%.
