GC 257 IMP

Impulse Generator Control System
The Generator Control System GC 257 IMP allows
comfortable and flexible state-of-the art control of
impulse generation systems.

Features
This system controls:
Charging voltage, charging time, polarity, triggering,
counter, history, alarms, trips, earthing, safety,
chopping, status visualization, sphere gaps, data
logging, data storage, status handling, automation,
system diagram visualization, online help.

The Industrial PC based control system is specifically
designed for the needs of HV testing. This control system
is supplied with a Windows based control software
package developed based on the experience of four
generations of impulse generator controls.
The system hardware has an EMC hardened design for
safe use also in the most polluted areas.

Manual operation mode – with all status
information, optimization, efficiency calculations etc.
but with full operator control.

Active and passive safety is implemented into the system
as independent external emergency switches, software
watchdogs, graphic symbols and status information for
fast understanding.

Free programmable Sequence mode –
optimized for automated production testing. A defined
test sequence can be set up by the user easily, run by
the software and the results are recorded. All test
sequences can be recorded and saved for later use or
repetition.

A protocol file can be used for a further calculation. This
file with the protocol of each impulse will be stored as
ASCII -File which can be imported in the most
spreadsheet or stochastic programs.

Full visualization of test system with
measuring values, switch positions, grounding
system, alarms and warnings etc.

A Report File can be used for further data processing.
This ASCII format File can be imported into the most
Data processing applications and databases.

Integration of external measuring devices
over ActiveX components and adaptation of its
measuring values for efficiency calculation and
remote operation/presetting of measuring devices.

With the advantage software Sequence it is possible to
control complex test cycles and with the advantage
software Remote the Impulse system can be controlled
by any host computer.

OLE interface allows data access from other
applications (e.g. Excel, Word, etc.)

A full online help is built-in the
software.

Benefits
Easy, intuitive understandable and useable graphic
user interface (GUI)
Automatic test report generation from the
integrated Reporting Tool with user definable
layout, logo insertion, etc.
Windows control software with all its advantages
of integration, remote control, remote supervision,
LAN connection, decentral data-storage, etc.
Easy adaptable to different generators for a
easy system upgrading or modernization of all types
of generators

Applications
Power Transformer testing
Switchgear testing
Surge Arrestor testing
Research & Development
Universities
Subject to technical modifications without notice.
