NoiseKen - Lightning Surge Simulator (IEC 61000-4-5 Ed.3, IEC 61000-4-12 Ed.3)

LSS-EF01 series

This simulator evaluates the immunity of electronic equipment by simulating "highenergy induced lightning noise" induced in power distribution lines and communication lines due to fluctuations in the earth's potential caused by lightning strikes. This is an entry model of the LSS-F03 series. (Maximum output voltage 6kV)

LSS-F03 series

A tester simulatively generates "High energy induced lightning noise" which induced to distribution lines or communication lines by ground potential fluctuation caused by lightning strikes.

Certain periodical inspection shall be recommended since consumable parts are contained in the products. In the test to 3-phase 5 lines (with PE) power supply lines, a message which alert the inspection per around 200 sets (in the test to single phase (with PE) power supply lines, it is done per around 800 sets). 

(1 set in this case means that the test shall be done with 2 levels (eg. 0.5 kV and 1 kV) for the test series according to IEC 61000-4-5)

* Exchange timing of the parts may differ depending on the operative conditions and environment. Please contact us for more details.
