Surge Generator Instrument Information
A surge generator is an electronic device containing high-voltage circuits that is used for testing the durability of electrical systems against power surges. In a typical setup, the generator applies controlled voltage pulses to a device under test, simulating real-world surge conditions. The response of the device is then measured to evaluate its ability to withstand transient voltage spikes. Surge generators are essential for ensuring the reliability and safety of electrical and electronic equipment.
