AMETEK esd NX30 Series
30 kV ESD Simulator - Technical Specification
Product Overview
The AMETEK esd NX30 Series is a test generator designed to simulate Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) pulses. It can generate pulses up to 30 kV for both air and contact discharge modes, meeting requirements exceeding EN/IEC 61000-4-2 and complying with automotive test applications according to ISO 10605. The system consists of a base station and a separate discharge unit (esd gun). Some models feature a powerful internal battery, allowing for over 30,000 discharges without mains power. The intuitive color touch display and the optional esd.control software facilitate easy operation, standard selection, and test reporting.
Visual Description
The document displays an image of the AMETEK esd NX30 ESD simulator. The setup includes a main base unit with a color touch screen interface and a connected discharge gun. The base unit is designed for power mains connection and houses the battery pack in certain models. The discharge gun is the handheld component used for applying the ESD pulses.
