  • Discharge Detection: Identifies pseudo-shorts and partial discharges without extra equipment.
  • Quantification of Response Waveforms: Uses LC and RC values for precise pass/fail judgments.
Testing Capabilities:
  • Single-Turn Fault Detection: Improved waveform analysis for detecting single-turn faults.
  • Insulation Breakdown Voltage Testing: Proprietary filtering isolates noise for accurate breakdown voltage evaluation.
  • Rotor Assembly Testing: Adjusts for stray capacitance variations post-assembly.
Data Management:
  • Quantitative Analysis: Provides data for quality control and process feedback.
  • Data Storage and Analysis: Stores up to 1000 results, exportable for further analysis.
Interface and Connectivity:
  • Multiple Interfaces: USB, LAN, GP-IB, and RS-232C for versatile connectivity.
  • EXT. I/O Interface: Supports external control and integration into testing lines.
Conclusion: The ST4030A enhances manufacturing quality and efficiency with its advanced testing capabilities and precise results.
Specifications: The tester supports voltages from 100 V to 4200 V, with a 10 V resolution and a testable inductance range of 10 µH to 100 mH. Sampling speeds range from 10 MHz to 200 MHz, with a 12-bit resolution. Voltage detection accuracy is ±5% for DC and ±1 dB for AC at 100 kHz, handling 1001 to 8001 samples.
Procedures: Testing involves applying impulse voltage to both a master and test workpiece, comparing waveforms for pass/fail judgments using methods like LC/RC value judgment and differential area comparison. Insulation breakdown testing gradually increases voltage to determine breakdown points.
Standards and Compliance: Complies with EN 61010 and EN 61326 Class A standards, designed for indoor use up to 2000 m elevation, with an operating temperature range of 0°C to 40°C.
Recommendations and Best Practices: Users should consider cable parasitic effects on waveforms and contact distributors for special cables if needed. Safety features include key lock, interlock, and double-action design to prevent errors.
Electrical and Interface Specifications: Operates on 100 V to 240 V AC power at 50/60 Hz, with interfaces including EXT. I/O, USB, LAN, and optional RS-232C and GP-IB. Dimensions are 215 mm W x 200 mm H x 348 mm D, weighing 6.7 kg.
Accessories and Options: Comes with a power cord, manual, application disc, and operating precautions. Optional upgrades include the Discharge Detection Upgrade ST9000 and various interface cables.

Testing after rotor assembly Once the rotor has been attached to the motor’s stator, the stray capacitance between the rotor and stator will vary depending on the position at which the rotor was attached. This variation in stray capacitance means that the response waveform obtained during impulse testing varies, preventing use of the conventional waveform comparison method. Although the LC and RC values used to quantify response waveforms also vary due to variations in those waveforms, the distributions of those values vary for defective and non-defective parts. Consequently, impulse testing...

When testing a motor whose response waveform exhibits reduced resonance due to rotor core loss, the ST4030A automatically adjusts the judgment interval so that evaluations can be made over an interval with high voltage amplitude. When a rotor is present, the ST4030A reduces the amount of electrical energy supplied to the motor, causing attenuation of the response waveform. Attenuation of response waveforms Reductions in electrical energy are primarily the result of the following types of loss: Core loss (1) Hysteresis loss Loss caused by changes in the orientation of the magnetic molecules in...
