NSG 437 ESD simulator

The ESD simulator NSG 437 fulfils the requirements of numerous applications 

in an ideal manner, thus:

Ergonomic shape 

For non-tiring use

Operation 

Operating elements and display always in view of the  

 

user. Constant check on the test values.

Microprocessor- 

All the functions are ”on-board”, including a pre- 

control 

settable counter, pre-programmed test values,  

 

discharge voltage etc.

Precision 

The test parameters are maintained precisely for  

 

reliably reproducible tests.

Flexibility 

The specifications prescribed in the standards are 

 

 

more than fulfilled in every respect. The instrument 

 

 

also offers many additional handy features.

Long-term operation  Automatic long-term operation for stationary appli- 
 

cations with the generator mounted on a tripod.

Application field 

Development optimization, type-approval, EMC 

 

 

certification, batch testing (individually), testing of 

 

 

fully installed systems.
