About Surge & Impulse Test Testing Services
CTL has Surge Test Facility upto 10KVA Impulse Test Facility having different wave shapes like 1250 s 10700 s etc These tests are covered under the following Indian and International standards IS 616 IEC 60065 IS 13252 IEC 60950 IS 302 etc
To represent surges generated due to lightning the IEC Standard impulse wave of 1250 s wave is generally used By the use of spark gaps conditions occurring on the flash over to line are simulated The total duration of a single lightning strike os about 100 s although the total duration of the lightning stroke may be a few seconds
These tests relate to the immunity requirements for equipment to unidirectional surges caused by over voltages from switching and lightning transients Several test levels are defined which relate to different environment and installation conditions These requirements are developed for and are applicable to electrical and electronic equipment
