    Section 1 Introduction to MegaPulse 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.

    Safety Techniques The high voltage circuit of the MegaPulse Defib-5PF-002 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.
  • Page 8 Note that the voltage meter may indicate that some residual voltage is present on the main storage capacitor, even when the tester is first turned ON. This is due to inherent charging of the internal capacitors. Pressing the TRIGGER switch will discharge the capacitors (be sure not to touch the output and return leads when pressing the trigger switch).
