PS 1500 is a generator fully compliant to the IEC, EN and UL requirements for safety testing of components. Clause 10 of the IEC 60065 standard specifies tests on equipment insulation, clause 14 is written to test the insulation of components used in household equipment. Section 16 of UL 1414 specifies discharge tests for Line-by-pass and antenna coupling components. The imminent danger these standards hope to avoid is against breakdown caused by surges from tunderstorms. EN 60065 is a standard required to fulfill the Low Voltage Directive 73/23/EEC for the testing of Audio and Video equipment connected to the power mains or other power supply. In all standards, discharges with the following parameters are defined:
-50 discharges
- 12 per minute maximum
- 1nF capacitor charged to 10kV
PS 1500 exceeds these requirements and also provides a 4M ohm resistor which can be switched electronically in parallel with the test component.
