Product Technical Overview

EONOVA MIG Series metal-clad lightning impulse generators utilize high-pressure SF6 gas as the primary insulating medium inside a grounded horizontal or vertical steel cylinder. By minimizing loop inductance and external electromagnetic radiation, it delivers standardized full-wave, chopped-wave, and switching impulses for ultra-high voltage GIS development and type testing.
