GC 223
Impulse Generator Control Module

The system is equipped with an industrial PC which provides
a Windows based control software with full visualization of
the test procedure, measuring values and warnings or
alarms. For more information please contact us.

FEATURES

The Generator Control Module GC 223 allows comfortable
and flexible control of an impulse generator system.
The control system GC 223 is a result of our close
collaboration with worldwide impulse test systems users
and reflects our experience in high voltage testing of more
than 50 years.
The hardware of GC 223 is based on well established
Haefely in-house developments. Only durable and well
protected components, specially adapted to a demanding
high voltage environment, have been used.
The GC 223 instrument can be connected with an impulse
measurement device (DiAS, HiAS or DMI) to form an
integral impulse control and measurement system. The GC
223 can also be fully remote controlled via RS 232 interface
by a computer to integrate the system into a complete
manufacturing chain.
The GC 223 system supports manual operation as well as
automated test sequences. The software menu is especially
designed for intuitive, fast and safe user interrogations. It is
equipped with a 5.2’’ liquid crystal display and a numerical
keypad.
The basic version of the GC 223 includes all necessary
functions to control an impulse system. The instrument can
be upgraded with programmable test sequences and a
remote control software.
The GC 223 is primarily intended for use in automated test
bays which are controlled by a host computer. Beside this
the instrument can also be applied for stand alone impulse
generators which do not require an embedded solution.
Beside the control module GC 223 Haefely also offers a
more sophisticated impulse generator control system
GC 257.

Control unit for operating an impulse generator. It
provides control for the charging and triggering process
of an impulse generator.
Charging Control Unit suppresses interferences and
minimizes wiring by collecting all control and data lines
from the generator into two main cables.
Integration of measuring device and adaptation of its
measuring values for efficiency calculations.
Chopping gap control allows all necessary adjustments
for chopping lightning or switching impulses
Large graphic display and buttons marked with clear
symbols simplifies operation and supports quick and easy
access to all functions and parameters.
Safety features are implemented in hardware
independent of any software. Additional switches, lamps
and horns can be placed in optimal positions.

Optional:
Programmable test sequences optimized for
automated production testing.
Remote control software to operate the unit from a
computer.

BENEFITS
Easy and safe reduce the learning curve and minimizes any
dangerous situations.
Rugged and compact guarantee high durability and helps
reducing the installation costs.
Versatile and compatible support easy integrating into a
manufacturing chain.
Lowest cycle time ensures that even the highest factory
throughput can be accomplished.
