Note: One of the possible methods for the impulse test is the 10/350 waveform in IEC61312-1. 4.2.2.2 Standard current waveform for Class I and Class II nominal discharge current tests is 8/20us. The allowable error of the current waveform is as follows: Peak value:
Front time: 20%
Half peak time: 20%
Small overshoot or oscillation is allowed on the impulse wave during the test, but its amplitude should not be greater than 5% of the peak value. : After the current drops to zero, the current value of any polarity reversal should not be greater than 20% of the peak value. The current flowing through the SPD The measurement accuracy requirement of the current is mainly 3%. 4.2.2.3 The standard voltage waveform for level I and level II impulse voltage tests is 1.2/50μs. The allowable error of the voltage waveform is as follows: Peak value:
Wavefront time:
Half peak time: 20%
Oscillation or overshoot may occur at the peak of the impulse voltage. If the frequency of the oscillation is greater than 500kHz or the duration of the overshoot is less than 1us, an average curve should be drawn. From the measurement requirements, the maximum amplitude of the curve determines the peak value of the test voltage. The amplitude of the rising part of the impulse voltage is not allowed to exceed 3% of the peak value. The accuracy of measuring the voltage at the SPD terminal should be 3%. The entire bandwidth of the measuring equipment should be at least 25MHz, and the overshoot should be less than 3%. The short-circuit current of the test generator should be less than 20% of the nominal discharge current I. However, for voltage switching type SPDs, it should be ensured that they are turned on during the test.
