Description

The GDCY-20B is a cost-effective, basic-type desktop impulse voltage test systemexclusively designed for impulse withstand voltage tests of low-voltage electrical equipment and surge protective devices (SPD). It fully complies with IEC 61000-4-5:2014 and GB/T 17626.5-2019 standards, adopting advanced high-voltage solid-state switching technology to generate stable and repeatable 1.2/50μs standard lightning impulse waveforms.
The system features an integrated desktop design with a built-in standard impulse capacitor, supporting both DC withstand voltage test and impulse withstand voltage test. Equipped with a 128×64 LCD display and intuitive touch buttons, it supports three operation modes: manual, automatic, and computer programmable. It has dual breakdown judgment functions (leakage current and voltage attenuation) to automatically determine test results. With comprehensive safety protection including over-voltage, over-current, and emergency stop, it ensures safe and reliable operation in production lines and laboratories. Ideal for 3C certification tests, factory quality control, and basic research experiments of SPDs, low-voltage switchgear, electronic components, electric vehicle chargers, and household appliances.

FAQ

Q: What is the difference between GDCY-20B and GDCY-20P?

A:
  • GDCY-20B (Basic Type): 128×64 LCD display + touch buttons, ±3% accuracy, 12kg weight, cost-effective, suitable for basic factory quality control
  • GDCY-20P (Advanced Type): 7-inch color touch screen, ±1% accuracy, 25kg weight, PDF report generation, suitable for certification laboratories and high-end manufacturers
    Both generate 1.2/50μs standard lightning impulse wave and meet IEC 61000-4-5 requirements.

Q: What waveforms can GDCY-20B generate?

A: It generates 1.2/50μs standard lightning impulse full wave as standard, which is the most commonly used waveform for low-voltage equipment impulse tests according to IEC 61000-4-5. It also supports 0–±22kV DC withstand voltage test.

Q: What is the breakdown judgment function?

A: It has two breakdown judgment methods:
  1. Leakage current judgment: Alarms when the leakage current exceeds the set threshold (30mA–1200mA)
  2. Voltage attenuation judgment: Alarms when the impulse voltage peak drops below the set percentage (0%–99%)
    The system automatically determines pass/fail and stops the test when breakdown occurs.

Q: Does it support computer control?

A: Yes. It has an RS485 communication interface and comes with dedicated Windows-based control software (optional) for remote operation, parameter setting, and data analysis.
