Page 10: Sp-02-74 Test Voltage Formula
Instruction Manual SP-02-74 test voltage formula Test Voltage = 1250 x √ T coating Where T is the coating thickness in mils (0.001”). coating Alternatively Test Voltage = 250 x √ T coating Where T is the coating thickness in microns (0.001mm). coating After the test voltage is calculated it is necessary to check that the voltage is not so high as to damage the material. -
Page 11: Operation
Screw the flexible probe electrode into the red end of the PST-100. Set the output control knob on the rear fully anti-clockwise. Connect the plug to the mains supply socket. -
Page 12: Applications
150mm. Gas Discharge Lamp Testing The PST-100 can be used to excite gas discharge lamps to confirm that the vacuum has not been lost. The lamp/tube should not be fitted, as the high voltage could contact the fitting and be passed into the wiring, which may damage other equipment connected to that wiring. -
Page 13: Electromagnetic Compatibility
PST-100 Electromagnetic compatibility Electromagnetic Emissions European Union Directive 2014/30/EU Before operating this equipment it is essential that the following risk assessment be taken. As this equipment will produce an electromagnetic emission when actually arcing down through a fault to earth, a risk assessment of the area in which the unit will be used should be carried out. - Page 14 Again, you should remember neighbouring works. The PST-100 has been designed with EMC in mind and therefore all leads are of optimum length. If longer leads are used then they could transmit similar to aerials and cause interference.
-
Page 15: Maintenance
The PST-100 has been designed to be maintenance free, however the PST-100 should be inspected regularly, checking for damage to the unit. If any damage is found, the PST-100 must not be used, and should be returned to the manufacturer for repair. -
