Hi, all

I am after a device that will simulate fault conditions on AC line.
Basically, I need to introduce spikes to about 1000V with programmable
durations as well as line breaks of about 300ms with programmable durations.

Depends on the price I will either buy or rent one. I just checked Tech
Rentals site and did not find anything there.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Rudolf

** A triac gated by a 555 will do that.

Thanks,

Looks like I will be getting this one too.
