Section 1 Introduction and Safety An Introduction to Impulse Testing with the MegaPulse PF series tester The impulse test is designed to simulate impulse surges which occur in everyday life due to nearby lightning strikes, switching transients, and other high-frequency faults on the power distribution network. Impulse testing is the fundamental method for empirical verification of the adequacy of insulation. -
Page 8: Safety Techniques
Safety Techniques The high voltage circuit of the MegaPulse D5-PF can be shut off at any time by turning OFF the rear power switch. Always press TRIGGER to discharge the tester before turning OFF. The MegaPulse tester is provided with a digital VOLTAGE ADJUST knob on the front panel. This voltage setting should always be confirmed by pressing the VOLTAGE ADJUST knob before starting any test. -
Page 9: Using The Megapulse Pf Impulse Tester
Using the MegaPulse PF Impulse Tester The impulse test involves high voltage and caution should be exercised when using the tester. The RETURN lead is referenced to building ground when properly connected. However, both the OUTPUT and RETURN leads must always be treated as Hazardous whenever the power switch of the MegaPulse is in the ON position. The MegaPulse impulse tester generates the impulse waveform only;... -

Disconnect the high voltage cables from the outputs connectors (50 ohm, 400 ohm, Aux Output, Energy Measurement point and 50K ohm “If included”). Turn the rear-panel Power Switch ON. Press the red TRIGGER button to discharge the main capacitor into the internal resistor of the MegaPulse unit. -
Page 21: Pulse Verification Procedure
Push the yellow CHARGE button to start charging the internal high voltage capacitor and wait until the front meter reaches value set on Steps 1 or 2. Verify that the red TRIGGER indicator is now lit. Once the desired voltage is reached, press the red TRIGGER button to deliver the high voltage pulse (be sure not to touch the output and return leads when pressing the trigger switch). - Page 22 Trigger Level = -1kV. Slope transition “High to Low” 19. Charge and Trigger the pulse at 5000V. Push the yellow CHARGE button to start charging the internal high voltage capacitor. Once the desired voltage is reached, press the red TRIGGER button to deliver the pulse (be sure not to touch the output and return leads when pressing the trigger switch).
