Product introduction
The FC-2G Lightning Protection Component Tester is a portable, high-precision DC parameter testing device for lightning protection and overvoltage protection components. It is mainly used to test key electrical parameters of zinc oxide varistors (MOV), zinc oxide surge arresters, metal-ceramic two-electrode/three-electrode spark gaps, vacuum surge arresters, and other overvoltage protection components.
The instrument employs high-voltage output, digital measurement, and intelligent protection technology. It can perform tests on parameters such as the 1mA reference voltage (U1mA) of zinc oxide varistors, leakage current at 0.75U1mA, and DC breakdown voltage of spark gaps. It also supports functions including test range presetting, range adjustment, continuous measurement, and automatic calibration, making it suitable for laboratory testing, production line quality control, incoming inspection, and on-site maintenance applications.
