GC 257 Impulse Generator Control
Control systems for impulse generators are a crucial part of a complete impulse test system. From customized test procedures to measuring values and built in alarms the Haefely impulse control unit GC 257 can provide a reliable and advanced solution. Designed to be used in high voltage environments the GC 257 can be connected with an impulse measuring device (HiAS 744) to form a full impulse control and measurement system.
This state-of-the-art industrial PC based and desk control system is specifically designed for the needs of high voltage testing. This control system is supplied with a Windows based control software package of which the development is based on the experience of four generations of impulse generator control systems. The system’s hardware has an EMC hardened design for safe use also in the most electrically noisy areas.
