Tóm tắt: Lightning-induced overvoltage and transient shocks caused by switching of large-capacity loads on power grids may damage the power and communication ports of electronic equipment. The lightning surge test is a mandatory test item to verify the electromagnetic immunity performance of electrical and electronic products. As core standard equipment for lightning surge test, the LISUN SG61000-5 lightning surge generator adopts a modular hardware architecture, with output voltage ranging from 0 to 30 kV and maximum short-circuit current up to 15 kA. It can accurately output open-circuit voltage waveforms of 1.2/50μs and 10/700μs, as well as short-circuit current waveforms of 8/20μs and 5/320μs, fully complying with domestic and international standards including GB/T 17626.5 and IEC 61000-4-5. The equipment is equipped with integrated voltage and current attenuator probes and a digital oscilloscope. Real-time waveform visualization is realized via the LCD touch screen without additional external test instruments, which greatly simplifies the whole operation procedure of lightning surge test and ensures that key waveform parameters such as rise time and half-peak time strictly meet standard tolerances. Taking the SG61000-5 series as the research object, this paper compares the output capacity of different models, elaborates the technical advantages of its modular design and built-in waveform acquisition system, sorts out application scenarios of lightning surge test in new energy, industrial control, communication and home appliance industries, and provides technical references for equipment selection of enterprise R&D laboratories and third-party testing institutions.
Transient high-energy surge impacts generated by lightning induction, power grid switching and switching of capacitive and inductive loads can easily break down core components such as switching power supplies, communication chips and control circuit boards, resulting in equipment crash, burnout and even safety accidents. Therefore, electromagnetic compatibility immunity standards have been formulated worldwide, mandating that all listed electrical products complete the lightning surge test to verify the capability of power cables and signal lines to withstand transient surge shocks.
Traditional conventional surge generators have three major drawbacks. Firstly, the integrated hardware structure brings difficulties in expanding voltage/current ranges and cannot meet the requirements of lightning surge test at 30 kV high voltage and 15 kA large current. Secondly, waveform observation requires extra purchase of oscilloscopes and high-voltage differential probes, leading to complicated test wiring and numerous calibration procedures that easily introduce measurement errors. Thirdly, insufficient waveform output accuracy causes excessive deviation of rise time and half-peak time, and the lightning surge test reports produced will not be recognized by CE, 3C, FCC certification bodies.
LISUN SG61000-5 loạt máy phát sét adopts a modular design consisting of power modules, waveform modules and coupling/decoupling modules. It fully covers full-range lightning surge test working conditions from low voltage & small current at 4.8 kV to high voltage & large current at 30 kV. Equipped with an integrated waveform acquisition system for real-time surge waveform playback on the touch screen, it fundamentally solves the industry pain points of traditional equipment such as cumbersome testing, insufficient precision and poor expandability. It is widely applied in R&D and testing of new energy energy storage, industrial automation, communication base stations, LED lighting and household appliances.
Modular Hardware Design to Cover Full-range Lightning Surge Test Requirements
SG61000-5 consists of five independent modules: high voltage generation module, current output module, waveform shaping module, built-in CDN coupling decoupling module and touch control main module. Each module can be replaced or upgraded separately. Enterprises can flexibly select models according to their own lightning surge test grade requirements without replacing the whole unit.
Voltage output ranges are classified hierarchically: basic model 0~6 kV, medium voltage model 0~10 kV, high voltage model 0~15 kV, customized extra-high voltage model 20 kV/30 kV. Short-circuit current is matched in full range from 2.4 kA to 15 kA, covering both low-voltage lightning surge test for consumer electronics and high-voltage large-current lightning surge test for photovoltaic inverters and high-power industrial control equipment. The equipment supports output of four standard compliant waveforms:
1. 1.2/50μs open-circuit voltage waveform & 8/20μs short-circuit current waveform: common combination wave for common-mode and differential-mode lightning surge test on power ports;
2. 10/700μs open-circuit voltage waveform & 5/320μs short-circuit current waveform: special waveforms for lightning surge test on communication lines, network cables and signal ports.
The tolerances of rise time and half-peak time for all waveforms are controlled within ±20%, satisfying the strict precision requirements for lightning surge test waveforms specified in national, European and American standards.
Built-in Waveform Acquisition System Simplifies Lightning Surge Test Operation Process
The core upgrade that distinguishes SG61000-5 from similar equipment on the market lies in integrated voltage and current attenuator probes and digital oscilloscope. The complete set of lightning surge test requires no additional external measuring instruments, with three core advantages as follows:
First, real-time waveform visualization. The 7-inch LCD industrial touch screen adopts an Android control system. After surge triggering, voltage and current waveform curves are loaded within milliseconds. Engineers can directly read front time, peak voltage and half-peak time to quickly judge whether waveforms meet standards on site, eliminating wiring and calibration steps for external oscilloscopes.
Second, measurement errors are greatly reduced. External probes suffer from cable attenuation and impedance mismatch. The built-in acquisition channel and high-voltage output loop adopt integrated shielding, and the shielding layer isolates space electromagnetic interference, improving the repeatability of waveform data obtained from kiểm tra sét đánh.
Third, automatic waveform archive storage. Each lightning surge test can simultaneously save waveform screenshots, test parameters, surge times and phase offset data. PDF original records can be exported with one click and directly attached to EMC test reports to meet data traceability requirements of third-party laboratories.
