Kikusui KES4021 Electrostatic Discharge Simulator

The Kikusui KES4021 Electrostatic Discharge Simulator is a cutting-edge testing solution designed to conduct immunity testing on electrical and electronic devices by effectively simulating both direct and indirect electrostatic discharges from a charged human operator.

Key Features:

• Compliant with EN/IEC61000-4-2:
  • This slim and lightweight design meets the rigorous requirements of the EN/IEC61000-4-2 standard, ensuring reliable testing results.
• High Testing Voltage:
  • The KES4021 generates a maximum testing voltage of ±30 kV, providing the capability to exceed the IEC standard Level 4 (± 15 kV). This feature enables the identification of limit voltages at which a tested product may malfunction or undergo breakdown.
• ISO 10605 Standard Support:
  • By utilizing alternative CR units and discharge chips in the discharge gun, users can achieve the specific waveform outlined in the ISO 10605 standard, which addresses electrostatic discharge test methodologies for automotive electronic modules.
• Tip Charge Prevention:
  • Integrated safety feature that keeps the high-voltage system in standby mode until the TRIGGER switch is engaged, ensuring operational safety during test procedures.
• Flexible Discharge Methods:
  • Supports both Contact Discharge and Air Discharge methods for versatile testing scenarios.
• Adjustable Voltage Settings:
  • Set voltage range from 0.50 kV to 30 kV, accommodating various testing requirements.
• Dual Polarity:
  • Features both Positive and Negative polarity outputs for comprehensive testing capabilities.
• Replaceable Components:
  • Equipped with a 150 pF energy storage capacitor and a 330 Ω discharge resistor, both of which are easily replaceable to extend the lifespan of the unit.
• Variable Discharge Timing:
  • Discharge intervals can be adjusted from 0.05 / 0.1 seconds to 99.9 seconds, with the option to select between 1 to 999 discharges or continuous mode operation.
• Convenient Triggering Options:
  • Includes triggers located on both the main panel and the discharge gun for enhanced operational flexibility.
• Compliance with IEC61000-4-2 Waveform:
  • The discharge current waveform conforms strictly to the IEC61000-4-2 standard for dependable testing outcomes.
• Optional RS-232C Interface:
  • Supports an optional RS-232C interface, enabling data communication and integration with external systems.
• Wide Power Supply Range:
  • Operates on a power supply of 100 V to 240 V AC (50 Hz to 60 Hz), making it versatile for different environments.

Note: The KES4021 does not feature a floating output for safety reasons, as specified in the ISO 10605 standards. A variety of discharge tips are available for enhanced testing versatility.
