Features
Easy operation with the automatic control based on PLC module;
Reliable and precise triggering unit by pulse amplifier;
Automatical polarity change;
Liquid insulation in the impulse capacitors is made of castor oil which offers optimal environmental compatibility (no PCB’s). The impulse capacitors have very low inductance, high quality and long service life.
Protective earthing system, earthing rod and emergency button, gate interlock for personnel and equipment safety;
Maintenance Information
Impulse Current Test System (ICTS) maintenance requires routine cleaning, inspections, component-specific checks, and annual calibrations to ensure high-voltage testing accuracy and operator safety. Routine upkeep prevents internal arcing, extends capacitor life
