What is an EMC surge generator?

Image
An EMC surge generator , which stands for electromagnetic compatibility, is a specialized piece of testing equipment that is used to assess the functionality and dependability of electronic devices and systems when subjected to surge circumstances. It is designed to generate electrical surges that mimic the electrical transients that may occur in real-world environments, such as lightning strikes, power line surges, and electrostatic discharge. Its primary function is to protect the device from damage caused by these types of electrical transients (ESD). In order to validate the performance of electronic devices and systems and ensure that they are compliant with electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) standards and regulations, EMC surge testing is performed in order to determine any potential issues that may occur in electronic devices and systems when they are subjected to these surges. These regulations and standards are designed to ensure that electronic devices and systems do not c
