MIG1260 is a current generator with wave shape 8/20 μs. The exact waveform delivered is a function of the surge generator and the impedance to which the surge is applied. The generator can deliver up to 60kA impulse current supported by 12kV impulse voltage, making it ideal for testing big varistors with high hold-on voltage. Mechanically the MIG1260 consists of one large rack and a separate control console with high voltage output terminals protected by a glass acrylic test cabinet. Peak output voltage and current are indicated on the front panel display. The two BNC monitor outputs (v,i) allow viewing of voltage and current wave shapes using an oscilloscope.
