Repeated discharge processes which exceed the specification of the device can overload arresters in information technology systems. In order to ensure high system availability, arresters should therefore be subjected to systematic tests. LifeCheck allows quick and easy testing of arresters.

The lightning impulse current is a standardised impulse current curve with a 10/350 μs wave form. Its parameters (peak value, charge, specific energy) simulate the load caused by natural lightning currents. Lightning current and combined arresters must be capable of discharging such lightning impulse currents several times without being destroyed.
