Lightning Surge Generators

A single stroke and multiple stroke lightning surge simulators are required for avionics test standards like RTCA/DO-160 Section 22 and MIL-STD-461G CS 117. The EMC Shop stocks all types of Lightning Surge Generators for compliance and pre-compliance testing. Rent or buy Lightning Surge Generators for individual tests or multifunction generators to complete an assortment of tests in a compact solution. Most systems can be easily upgraded to include additional tests as required.
