Airbag test system enhanced
Staff -- Test & Measurement World, 2/1/2004
The Model 2790-A SourceMeter Airbag Inflator DC Electrical Test System combines the sourcing, measurement, and signal routing capabilities required for insulation resistance and conductor (bridgewire) continuity testing. The new model has expanded high-resistance measurement capabilities, which allows you to test a wider range of airbag system characteristics. The Model 2790-A features a fast current-limiting capability, which limits measurement circuit energy, so voltage and current sources are less likely to damage a device under test. Other safety features include a hardware-source interlock, an automatic output cable capacitance discharge circuit for high-voltage insulation-resistance testing, and automatic cold-switching scanner operation.
