Why do outdoor appliances need surge test?

Image
As a result of the sensitivity of outdoor appliances to overvoltage surges, which may be caused by either lightning strikes or transients in the electrical power supply, surge testing is required to ensure the safety of these products. Lighting fixtures and streetlights are both examples of this kind of electrical equipment. These surges have the potential to cause damage to the electrical and electronic components that are included inside the appliances, which may subsequently lead to the equipment failing to work properly or not functioning at all. By carrying out a surge test, either the appliance's maker or the end user may verify the device's resilience and determine whether or not it is capable of withstanding the anticipated surge environment in which it will be put. The appliance is put through this test to guarantee that it can successfully be installed. This aids to boost the appliance's reliability and durability, as well as to decrease the possibility of unexp

Operation of surge generator to test LED driver

Image
The capacity of an LED driver to endure electrical disturbances, such as those caused by lightning strikes or the switching of the power supply, may be tested with the use of a surge generator. An LED driver may be put through a surge immunity test with the use of a surge generator in the manner that is outlined in the following basic outline: In order to prepare the LED driver, first verify that the LED driver is in excellent functioning condition and that it is connected to the power supply in the correct manner. Connect the LED driver to the surge generator Make the connection between the LED driver and the surge generator using test leads that are appropriate. Activate the surge generator by using the controls on the surge generator to program the required surge characteristics. These parameters include surge voltage, surge current, and surge duration. The standards and regulations that the LED driver has to comply with will determine the particular specifications that must be s
