PCI - Short Pulse Generator 10 kV
This generator is used to measure the performance of points of entry and of protective devices
according to MIL-STD188-125-1/2 (PCI: pulse current injection). It produces double exponential
current pulses of short duration. As an alternative to the 80 kV / 1.2 kA generator, this
equipment allows the test of each wire of a cable bundle for which the total current of 5 kA is
split in each connection. An important advantage of this generator is the wide amplitude range
from less than 0.2 kV to 10 kV. It can be fully controlled by a computer through a RS232 and
USB interface. We also provide all the necessary accessories like current probes, coupling and
decoupling networks, fibre optic links, etc. The automation software is also proposed as an
option.
