Description 

Ergonomic design and advanced functionality. The pistol-shaped NSG 435 simulator is designed to sit comfortably in the operator’s hand, with current operating conditions constantly displayed and clearly visible.

NSG 435’s microprocessor-based controller and multifunction keypad provide the operator with instant access to its comprehensive range of built-in functions. The LCD panel continuously displays the operating status and all user-selected test parameters.

NSG 435 has its own internal, battery operated high voltage generator. In addition to the pre-programmed, standard IEC pulses, the user can create custom tests using single or repetitive discharges with selectable rates and manual or automatic polarity switching. An optional mains supply is available for extended test operation or for use when the battery is being charged.

NSG 435 measures and displays true air breakdown voltages. It also detects real or valid air-discharges, thereby avoiding misleading discharge counts. This is especially important during long term tests and remote test setups.

A range of interchangeable discharge networks is available, including EN, ANSI-IEEE, and ISO. The unit comes with a standard 150 pF/330 Ω discharge network for tests to IEC/EN 61000-4-2.

NSG 435 is supplied with standard accessories, including interchangeable test tips, a grounding cable and battery charger - all in a durable carrying case. There is an optional fiber optic remote control trigger for operation inside a screened room or enclosure. The LCD panel gives the operator a clear, continuous indication of all the test parameters, the operational status of the instrument and the current function of each of the five softkeys.

Components & Modules

The NSG 435 simulator is modularly constructed from a number of function
units that are all housed in a multi-part, molded shell.

  • Test finger - Exchangeable air or contact discharge tip used for ESD testing.
  • Earth cable connection - To ensure safe and valid test operation the earth cable must be correctly connected as the pulse return path in every case.
  • HV-generator Discharge Network - Exchangeable measuring electronics
    high voltage relay polarity changeover
  • Pulse Trigger - Used to release discharge based upon selected criteria
  • Exchangeable Battery Pack - Easily Charged
  • Handgrip
  • Control Section - Microprocessor, keypad, display, and remote connection
  • Tripod Connection - UNC1/4-20

Simplified Test Setup

Test standards such as the IEC/EN 61000-4-2, Ed. 1.2:2001 give detailed information about setting up a test rig, the organization of a test and the documentation.
The test engineer cannot be relieved of the duty to study the applicable test prescriptions closely and to adapt the conditions to the test object in question. The necessary documents can be obtained directly from the IEC, ANSI, IEEE, etc. or they can be obtained through the relevant national standards bureau.

The contact-discharge method is to be used in preference to the air-discharge method. The former must, however, be implemented in such a way that there is a true metal-to-metal contact with the EUT.
Repetitive discharges can really be used only to localize weak spots or to find sensitive conditions in program sequences quickly. Single pulses then have to be used for a detailed investigation and assessment of the interference sensitivity.

An electrostatic discharge always exhibits high frequency properties with parts of the spectrum extending to well beyond 1 GHz. Screening and filtering measures must therefore also be effective up into these frequency ranges.
The test conditions must always be documented exactly including photos of the test rig, information about the type and number of discharges, details of the prevailing climatic conditions, comments regarding the effects observed, etc.
