Although it is subject to time limitations, the tester’s high-voltage generation block, including a high-voltage transformer, can generate a rated maximum of 500 VA (5 kV/100 mA), or 2.5 times that of Kikusui’s conventional counterparts. The amplifier generates a consistent test voltage of 50 Hz/60 Hz independent of the supply volt- age, with a voltage regulation within ±3 %.
