GWInstek launches new safety tester series
January 2012
Maintenance, Test & Measurement, Calibration
GWInstek has launched a new series of safety tester with high durability and multiple user-protection design. The GPT-9800 series meets a variety of standards such as IEC, EN, UL, CSA, GB, JIS and other safety-related requirements for the safety tests of electronic products and components.
A total of four safety testers in the GPT-9800 series are available for various applications. The GPT-9804 is a 4-in-1 model capable of performing AC withstanding, DC withstanding, insulation resistance and ground bond tests. The GPT-9803 is a 3-in-1 model capable of performing AC withstanding, DC withstanding as well as insulation resistance tests. The GPT-9802 is capable of performing both AC and DC withstanding tests, whereas the GPT-9801 is able to perform AC withstanding test. The series of safety tester is built upon a high-efficiency PWM amplifier platform with AC 200 VA maximum output capacity to impede the influence from the voltage fluctuation of the input AC source. This ensures a stable voltage supply for all tests.
The series, equipped with a simple and clear panel layout, a high resolution dot matrix LCD display, and colour LED indicators, allows operators to interpret measurement results quickly and easily. All major test functions, including AC withstanding, DC withstanding, insulation resistance and ground bond tests, are performed under a highly stabile voltage output with high-resolution measurement results. Furthermore, the test duration, ramp up time and upper/lower limits of the output voltage are fully-adjustable to accommodate a wide variety of safety tests with accurate measurement results.
