What is a Load Dump Generator
A Load Dump Generator is an electronic device containing high-energy circuits that simulate voltage surges in automotive electrical systems. In a typical setup, the generator applies a sudden high-voltage pulse to the system, mimicking the effect of a battery disconnection while the alternator is still supplying power. The response of the vehicle’s electronics is then measured to evaluate their ability to withstand such surges.
Common Load Dump Generator Uses
- Simulate transient spikes from battery disconnection
- Test automotive electronics for surge immunity
- Ensure compliance with automotive EMC standards
- Protect ECUs from alternator load dump events
