Section 1 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 7: Safety Techniques
Safety Techniques The high voltage circuit of the MegaPulse Biphasic PF 360J/100J 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 should always be adjusted to the minimum position at the start of testing. -
Page 8: Using The Megapulse Impulse Tester
Using the MegaPulse Impulse Tester The impulse test involves high voltage and caution should be exercised when using the tester. Both the OUTPUT and RETURN, which is floated, 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;... -

VOLTAGE Press the voltage knob to display the voltage set point. This setting will blink for a few seconds on the front meter.
- Page 14 ITEM NAME FUNCTION The impulse waveform appears on the OUTPUT jack, referenced to the RETURN jack. When the POLARITY switch is in the OUTPUT Normal position (NOR indicator is lit) the output will be a positive pulse. When the POLARITY switch is in the Reverse position jack (REV indicator is lit) the output will be a negative pulse.

Section 4 Operating Instructions The Biphasic PF 360J/100J tester consists of two parts; the pulse generation portion and the measurement portion. The following procedure will explain how to generate a high voltage pulse with the MegaPulse unit. External Interlock The external interlock is a two-position terminal block located on the rear panel. When the External Interlock is open: •... -
Page 18: Discharging Residual Voltage
Discharging Residual Voltage Note that the Voltage meter may indicate that some residual voltage is present on the main storage capacitor, even when the MegaPulse tester is first turned ON. This is due to inherent charging of the internal capacitors. The following procedure will explain how to discharge a remaining voltage stored on the main internal capacitor. -
