Atec Haefely-PIM100 - Manual

PIM 100
1.2/50us & 8/20us Combination Wave Impulse Module
IEC 61000-4-5 and ANSI C62.41 describe a
combination Wave or Hybrid generator with defined
open AND short circuit waveforms. The Combination
Wave is used to test AC and DC power systems.
Safety is paramount with surge impulses. The
PIM 100 High Voltage connections are all linked into
the System Safety Concept which prevents high
voltage plugs or cables from exposing operators to
potentially lethal voltages. This concept is extended
to Coupling/Decoupling Networks (CDNs) connected
to the PIM 100 output.
PIM 100 as part of the PSURGE 8000 Surge Platform
System can be used together with
Coupling/Decoupling Networks (CDNs) for
superimposition of the impulse on AC and DC power
lines. Single and three phase CDNs have multiplexed
inputs, allowing up to 3 impulse modules to be
connected. A full suite of test impulses can then be
performed completely automatically and without the
need to power down and reconnect the EUT.
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 and Current 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.

Benefits
International application – Specifically designed
to meet and exceed the requirements of IEC, EN,
and ANSI tests for power line applications.
Accurate Impulse Synchronisation - The PIM
100 impulses can be applied to the AC power wave
with
±
1° accuracy.
Safe and Easy - The interlocked HV section and the
integrated controller allow your operators to test
safely and easily.
Sturdy and Reliable – Careful component selection
ensures that the PIM 100 will continue to operate
under the most strenuous testing regime.
Report Generation - The unit can automatically
generate test reports without a computer. Add
WinFEAT&R control and reporting software to collect
and collate data in any format you like.
Faster completion of testing program - The
PIM 100 connects to an EUT via either a PCD 100 or
130. Both have multiplexed inputs, enabling testing
to continue with other pulses without having to
remove power from the EUT.
