Pulsed AC Current Source, up to 1MVA
Pulsed AC Current Source, up to 1MVA
The GI-IS Series pulsed AC current generators (900A–40kA, up to 300kVA) deliver stable, sinusoidal or arbitrary waveforms with flexible current ranges. Easy to control, they support remote interfaces, analog amplification, and digital I/Os for lab or production use. Built-in sequencer and timer enable precise circuit breaker and switch testing, and continuous current up to 1/3 Imax. Ideal for testing circuit breakers, thermal/magnetic evaluation of contacts, coils, and transformers.

Pulse Mode AC Current Sources
Circuit breaker and switch testing, R&D and product validation, current amplification, automated production testing, custom waveforms, thermal/magnetic and heating tests, and instrument calibration.
- Circuit breaker testing – precise trip-time measurement and custom test sequences.
- R&D labs – research and development of electrical devices.
- Final product testing – quality control and compliance verification.
- Current amplification – using analog inputs to boost external signals.
- Manufacturing line integration – automated testing via digital I/Os.
- Custom waveform generation – sinusoidal or arbitrary current profiles for specialized tests.
- Thermal and magnetic tests of switches, breakers, relays or fuses with trip-time measurements
- Heating tests of electrical contacts
- Tests of coils and transformers
