SURGE TESTERS / BATTERY ELEMENT TESTERS
(SLAUGHTER TEST SYSTEMS)

MODEL 1660 SURGE TESTER Surge testing is undoubtedly the most comprehensive single test available for wound products. Its primary function is verification of insulation integrity. Designed for rapid Go/No-Go testing, the 1660 detects latent and existing insulation failures such as turn-to-turn shorts, layer-to-layer shorts, coil-to-coil shorts, winding-to-winding shorts, and phase-to-phase shorts are best detected by surge testing. Open circuit and ground detection are secondary benefits of surge testing. The verification of insulation integrity of simple coils, chokes, solenoids, transformers, stators, field coils and other wound products make the surge test a 'must' for the quality conscious manufacturer.

MODEL 1653 BATTERY ELEMENT TESTER All STS Battery Element Testers provide a unique method for the detection of assembly level insulation defects in lead-acid batteries, including missing and damaged separators. Detection of such faults prior to filling and charging the battery minimizes costly reclamation. Traditional AC dielectric tests can detect such faults, but may produce damaging heat in moist cell applications. To overcome this limitation, STS has developed testers that employ a high-voltage, short duration pulse to maximize stress to the dielectric material while minimizing average energy. The
