Product Name: ESD Simulator 16, 5 Kv Model NO.: HESD 16 Product Description ESD simulator 16,5 kVIEC 61000-4-2 Ed.2 (150 pF / 330 Ohm)Battery and mains operation±16,5 kV AIR / ±10 kV ConTACT dischargeProgrammable automatic test runsContact control for contact dischargeDisplaying of the real discharge voltage at air modeCounter mode with and without automatic polarity changeSelftestThe ESD Simulator HESD 16 is suitable for performing EMC tests on systems in accordance with the standard IEC / EN 61000-4-2 (ESD test). Higher test levels can be set far beyond the standard limits. Depending on the test object and test setup, two test methods are to be used:Air dischargeIn this case, the pulse is triggered by approaching the HESD 16 towards the DUT. The high voltage applied to the discharge electrode is discharged suddenly, resulting in a very broadband high-frequency interference spectrum. This in turn can lead to influences on the test specimens.Contact discharge With this method, the probe of the generator is placed directly on the test object. The actual "impulse triggering" takes place via a relay contact and reduces the influencing factors such as approach speed, amplitude height, air humidity and temperature. important: In the case of non-contacting (eg painted or oxidized surface), the impulses are not triggered. The display shows "No contact". This ensures that when triggering a discharge actually takes place.
