Hi Ian, I'd also like to stress here Ian, that don't jump to the conclusion that YOUR test equipment was bad. As a lab assessor, I can tell you even accredited labs have "issues".
When I calibrate surge generators, I used a Current probe for short circuit current and a differential voltage probe for voltage. For goodness sake be careful though, the voltages and currents are lethal! Sincerely, Derek Walton White, Ian wrote on 12/9/2005, 3:07 AM: Forum Members Is there any way l can check the performance and set up of my surge signal test equipment. I use a Schaffner Best EMC working in Surge signal mode and a Schaffner CDN 117. The Schaffner has only just been calibrated but l am not getting the same results from it, that a local test house obtained while testing one of our products.
