MegaPulse Telephone Surge Test Equipment:
For the Lightning Protection Tests in TE001

The tests required in TE001, Para. 17 are done with Pulse Characteristics as described in Para. 17.1.4. Compliance West USA offers surge equipment that will generate the waveform required for each of these tests. For check-testing equipment before submission, companies may find the economics of purchasing our MegaPulse line compelling.

Two testers are needed to perform the tests required in TE001, Para. 17.1.4 in order to test to the requirements of Para. 17. Output voltages are continuously variable so setting the output voltage to the highest voltage that does not turn on the primary or secondary protection is straightforward. Optional BNC oscilloscope outputs to monitor voltage and current are available. Also available is our TestMinder option, which allows automated pulse train testing.

 

MegaPulse .64x32/3x37-4-1 15ohm

MegaPulse .64x32/3x37-4-1 15ohm - Designed to generate the surge test described in Para. 17.1.4.1 of TE001. The peak output pulse voltage is 4kV. The output voltage (open circuit) waveform is 640 nSec rise time by 32 uSec duration and the current (short circuit) waveform is 3 uSec rise time by 37 uSec duration. The output impedance of the MegaPulse is 15 ohms. A front-panel button provides reversal of output polarity.To test, the front panel voltage meter is set to 4000V.

Ships with cables, graphs of theoretical and actual waveforms.

Features

Generates the waveforms required by TE001, Paragraph 17.1.4, for testing Lightning Protection capabilities of TLTE in accordance with other subparagraphs of Paragraph 17.
Designed with operator safety in mind: Set up the EUT to the right and behind the tester, and a right-handed operator will find himself standing to the left of the tester, allowing maximum separation.
Theoretical graphs and actual graphs showing the output of your tester are included with each MegaPulse, allowing easy sanity checks and proof to visiting agency engineers of test setups.
1000:1 BNC Oscilloscope output option allows quick connections and easy evaluation of output waveforms.
Reverse polarity waveforms available by pushing a button on the front panel. No need to change the test setup. Positive polarity indication minimizes errors.
Front panel voltage meter shows residual voltage in charging circuit for safer operation.
1-year calibration cycle
All test leads included.
One year warranty

MegaPulse 10x700/1.5x25-2 15ohm

MegaPulse 10x700/1.5x25-2 15ohm - Designed to generate the surge test described in Paras. 17.1.4.2 and 17.1.4.3 of TE001. The peak output pulse voltage is 2kV. The output voltage (open circuit) waveform is 10 uSec rise time by 700 uSec duration and the current (short circuit) waveform is 1.5 uSec rise time by 25 uSec duration. The output impedance of the MegaPulse is 15 ohms. A front-panel button provides reversal of output polarity. To test, the front panel voltage meter is adjusted to the highest voltage that does not turn on the primary or secondary protection (approx. 1kV-2kV).
