Features Applications ■ Rugged industrial case with handle Suitable for testing: ■ Gas tubes ■ Carbon gaps ■ MOVs ■ Zener and avalanche diodes ■ Thyristor devices ■ Finished surge protection products ■ Easy-to-read LCD display, simple operation ■ High accuracy peak reading circuit ■ Wide 10-1000 V test range ■ Precise auto-sensing shutoff ■ Built-in 5-pin socket for in-line resistance measurement 4030-0x - Surge Protector Test Set Description Bourns® Model 4030-0x Surge Protector Test Set is a handheld, battery-operated tester designed to measure the clamping voltage and DC breakdown voltage of most surge protective devices. The Model 4030-0x is suitable for testing gas tubes, carbon gaps, MOVs, Zener and avalanche diodes and thyristor devices, both as components and as complete protectors. The Model 4030-0x is a true slow-rise tester because it does not use a pulse transformer. It contains unique test circuitry and a precise 1 mA detector. As soon as 1 mA is conducted through clamping type devices such as MOVs and avalanche diodes, the control circuit removes the test voltage from the output terminals and displays the clamping voltage on the meter. A low energy capacitive circuit will discharge through crowbar type protectors such as gas tubes and carbon blocks, and trigger the detector. The breakdown voltage will be displayed and the test voltage removed. Operation Internal switches for ramp speed circuit types are accessed by removing the back cover. They are to be set for the intended application: 200 V/s for laboratory tests or QC type approvals; 1000 V/s for high-speed testing or sorting. (Factory default is 1000 V/s.) Pushing the test button applies a linear ramp to the device under test. Sensing circuitry automatically terminates the test when either the DC breakdown or 1 mA clamping voltage is reached. The test value is maintained on the LCD display until the test button is released.

Warranty ................................................................................................................................................ 2 years Notes: • For P-type thyristor protectors, breakdown voltage VBO occurs at the device Zener voltage VZ. Therefore, the tester will measure actual VBO. • For N-type thyristor protectors, breakover voltage VBO is higher than the Zener voltage VZ. For these devices, the tester will measure VZ. 1 Available only when using the 5-pin socket, TIPin to TIPout, RINGin to RINGout. Specifications are subject to change without notice.
