EM TEST VDS 200 Series 4.5. Overvoltage protection General With the overvoltage protection the user can protect the output voltage in case of an unwanted overvoltage at the VDS200 output in case of wrong voltage setting or failure. The overvoltage protection is a hardware crow bar that will cut down the voltage output of the VDS 200 and shut down the output voltage.
EM TEST VDS 200 Series 4.5.2. Function The overvoltage protection consists of two parts: Crowbar switch with the hardware. A TVS diode will limit the max. overvoltage in the first µs till the security power switch will disconnect the DUT from the dc source.

EM TEST equipment. EM TEST doesn’t know each customer’s Quality Assurance Policy nor do we know how often the equipment is used and what kind of tests are performed during the life cycle of a test equipment. Only the customer knows all the details and therefore the customer needs to specify the calibration interval for his test equipment.
