Besides dropouts like in standards like ISO 16750-2, it is often required by many manufacturers’
standards to perform very fast dropout testing using a switch. For this, we have engineered the
all new +DS option.
This dropout switch in the NSG 5500 +ARB +DS has been totally reengineered from the ground
up for clean, symmetrical switching on all three switches: BAT+, BAT- and a new short-circuit (S2)
switch for European requirements like LV 124. This 100A switch includes very clean wave shapes
with symmetrical switching behavior down to 1 µs even when verified into only a 1 kΩ load. When
closed, the switch measures an astounding < 100 mΩ and ≈ MΩ when open. The switch also has
optional voltage and current measurement for closed-loop testing: set your target value and let
the system make all the necessary corrections when using lossy setups.
