Product Overview
Frequently Asked Questions
Can it meet both GWFI and GWIT tests?
Yes. The system supports IEC 60695-2-12 (GWIT) and 2-13 (GWFI) methods with proper settings and fixtures.
Is temperature stable during long test runs?
PLC control with closed-loop feedback keeps temperature drift minimal for repeatability.
Can you customize voltage and plugs?
Absolutely. We offer 110V/220V options and local plug standards.
Do you provide calibration certificates?
Factory calibration is included. Third-party calibration can be arranged.
Is operator safety considered?
Yes—enclosed chamber, observation window, emergency stop, and fume outlet are standard.
How fast is delivery?
Standard configurations ship quickly; custom options typically add a short lead time.
