Measuring Transient Voltage(Impulse Voltage)

[bujjinaveen]

I want to measure and monitor the impulse voltage(Transient Voltage),which will occur generally during lightning surges,which effects electrical equipments.And Impulse Voltage  charecteristics are,

t1 =  1.2 micro seconds(rise time)

t2 = 50 micro seconds(total duration of impuse)

Peak value of the impuse depends on equipment rating,for example,for a 400KV rating,impuse voltage will be  1350 V peak,

and also this voltage we want to capture in 50 micro seconds.

What will be the best solution regarding PXI DAQ Card,resolution,Sampilng rate,can anyone help in this concern.

Regards,

Naveen

Hello Naveen,

There is an SCXI module available for measuring kV range voltages. 

You may have a look at ni.com/pxi to know about the PXI platform.

Thanks.
