6.3 Surging
Process
As discussed in section 6.2.1.5, the test is started by pressing the key. When the
test begins, the bottom two lines of the display will change to show the current
status of the test and current status of the generator. For each surge event, the
following process takes place:
1)
The first step of the surging process is to discharge the charging capacitor.
This is done to make sure that there is no potentially harmful charge stored
in the capacitor. During this time, the following status message is
displayed, until the capacitor is completely discharged.

2) The second step of the surging process is the pulse delay. The pulse delay
is the difference between the charging time for the current surge type
and the delay time between surges. If the delay time between surges has
been set to minimum (default value), then the pulse delay will be zero,
and the third step of the process will begin immediately. In the event of
pulse delay, the following status message is displayed:

3) The third step of the surging process is the charging of the charging
capacitor. The charging time varies depending on the surge type. The
percentage of charge will update on the status line in real time until it
reaches 100%:
