NSG 435 ESD SIMULATOR
- Programmable discharge voltage 200 V to 16.5 kV
- Stabilized charging voltage
- Pre-programmed IEC/EN 61000-4-2 test settings
- True air-discharge breakdown voltage
- Compact and lightweight design
- Suitable for ANSI C63.16, RTCA/DO-160 and many more ESD immunity
standards
Function Modules The NSG 435 simulator is modularly constructed
from a number of function units that are all housed in a
multi-part, molded shell.
Ergonomic design and advanced functionality. The pistol-shaped NSG
435 simulator is designed to sit comfortably in the operator’s
hand, with current operating conditions constantly displayed and
clearly visible.
NSG 435’s microprocessor-based controller and multifunction keypad
provide the operator with instant access to its comprehensive range
of built-in functions. The LCD panel continuously displays the
operating status and all user-selected test parameters.
NSG 435 has its own internal, battery-operated high-voltage
generator. In addition to the pre-programmed, standard IEC pulses,
the user can create custom tests using single or repetitive
discharges with selectable rates and manual or automatic polarity
switching. An optional mains supply is available for extended test
operation or for use when the battery is being charged.
NSG 435 measures and displays true air breakdown voltages. It also
detects real or valid air discharges, thereby avoiding misleading
discharge counts. This is especially important during long-term
tests and remote test setups.
A range of interchangeable discharge networks is available,
including EN, ANSI-IEEE, and ISO. The unit comes with a standard
150 pF/330 Ω discharge network for tests to IEC/EN 61000-4-2.
NSG 435 is supplied with standard accessories, including
interchangeable test tips, a grounding cable, and a battery charger
in a durable carrying case. There is an optional fiber optic remote
control trigger for operation inside a screened room or enclosure.
The LCD panel gives the operator a clear, continuous indication of
all the test parameters, the operational status of the instrument,
and the current function of each of the five softkeys.
