TESEQ's Multifunction ESD Generator

The electromagnetic pulses generated from this multipurpose unit are especially tailored for the CE marking requirements of the EU in addition to national and international standards. Like its big brother, the NSG 3060, the NSG 3040 also has a SD memory card where test files can be saved easily and accessed at any time.



NSG 3040 highlights include, modular, expandable architecture, surge voltage to 4.4 kV, EFT/Burst to 4.8 kV/1 MHz, PQT to 16A/260 VAC & DC, easy to operate 7“ touch-screen colour display, TA (Test Assistance) for rapid test initiation, test parameters can be changed during test and a broad range of accessories.



The NSG 3040 test system is designed primarily for cable-borne transient interference tests as specified in the European generic standard covering equipment for household, office and light industrial use, and for applications in industrial environments, in accordance with the requirements of the basic standard of IEC/EN 61000-4-4, -5, -11,-29 as well as -8 and -9 are optional.



The most outstanding development in the new TESEQ NSG 3040 is the large 7 touch panel display, featuring superb contrast and colours combined with ergonomically optimised and well designed graphics using pictograms and text. Depending on requirements, test inputs are supported by an integrated keyboard, or by using a thumb wheel with additional keys for sensitivity adjustment. A stylus is not necessary, and ramp functions are programmed quickly and easily. Multi-step test procedures can be created and their sequence or parameter values changed easily. The combination of touch panel and thumb wheel is a perfect combination for simplicity of use in engineering labs.



Paul Dixon, Managing Director of TESEQ comments, “The NSG 3040 is an open architecture, easily modifiable test system which provides for customer specific test combinations. With its easily configured coupling devices it is usable as a multi-function generator for comprehensive testing. The innovative design uses modular architecture to provide a versatile system that can be configured for basic testing and expanded to meet the needs of sophisticated test laboratories. Ease of operation, large number of available test modes and user-friendly technology combine to offer a state of the art test system.



A master controller in the NSG 3040 system architecture takes care of all the “real-time” control functions and communicates with all the function modules acting as a slave within the instrument’s casing and external devices.
