EMC Surge Test: SUG‑562 Surge Generator — Specifications

Preface

Lightning surge is a high‑frequency item in EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) testing. Transient high‑energy pulses generated by grid switching and indirect lightning strikes may cause equipment malfunction or permanent damage.

IEC 61000‑4‑5 / GB/T 17626.5 are fundamental standards for surge immunity, which are mandatory references for CE and CCC certifications. This article introduces the domestic SUG‑562 surge generator, covering its functions, key parameters and selection considerations.

Note: This article sorts out technical information for R&D and test‑bench reference.

1. Applicable Standards & Test Capabilities

The SUG‑562 surge generator simulates surge pulse interference and supports pre‑compliance testing for single‑phase equipment for CE and CCC certification.

Complied Standards:

• IEC 61000‑4‑5

• EN 61000‑4‑5

• GB/T 17626.5

• Power‑port test: Completed by the built‑in coupling‑decoupling network.

• Communication‑line surge test: Expandable with an external coupling network.

2. Hardware Features

1. 10.1‑inch Android capacitive touch screen with graphical UI. Real‑time display of surge waveform, voltage and current values.

2. Semiconductor electronic switching technology delivers smooth surge waveforms with visual waveform observation.

3. Built‑in high‑voltage probe and calibration coefficients support fast on‑site calibration without factory return, ideal for daily laboratory operations.

4. DUT power supply capacity: AC 0~380 V / 30 A, DC 0~200 V / 30 A. Supports both AC and DC DUT power supply for new‑energy devices.

5. Auto‑generated editable test reports; reports can be exported via USB port.

6. Equipped with Ethernet and RS485 interfaces for integration into automated test systems.

3. Key Technical Parameters

• Phase angle: 0°~359°, adjustable with 1° resolution

• Surge count: 1‑9999 times

• Trigger modes: Auto / Manual / External trigger

• Built‑in 3‑phase 5‑wire coupling network, compatible with single‑phase and DC tests

• Insulation resistance: >10 MΩ

• Withstand voltage: AC 1500 V for 1 minute

• Bilingual UI: Chinese / English

• Mechanical: 4U 19‑inch rack‑mount chassis; dimension 460 × 180 × 550 mm; weight 10 kg

4. Model Selection of Product Series

Custom specifications are available upon request.

5. Application Scenarios

Suitable for hardware R&D debugging, pre‑compliance testing in third‑party laboratories, and pre‑validation for CE / CCC certification.

Covers surge immunity tests for home appliances, industrial controls, security equipment, communication products, new‑energy electronics and other devices.

Summary

When building an EMC test bench, priority evaluation items for surge generators include standard compliance, DUT power capacity, waveform quality, on‑site calibration feasibility and automation interfaces. Domestic test instruments can satisfy most pre‑compliance test requirements for domestic certifications.

Tip: Model selection shall be based on the actual test standards and voltage/current ratings of the DUT.
