So far, we have quotes on 2 manufacturer's units for the above tests. I'm looking for more sources. My general impression so far is no surprise - this is an exercise in trade-offs.
EMC-Partner TRA-2000: This unit is an all-in-one product with a decent price and has had favourable reviews in this forum. The drawback with an all-in-one is that you can't have one project doing EFT while another project is working on surge, and you lose both capabilities if the unit is out for maintenance or calibration. Also we already have ESD equipment, so we don't need this unit's capabilities in that area. Haefely: Have quotes on the PEFT4010 and the PSURGE4010 with necessary accessories. The total cost of the two units is far higher (+60%), but having separate units mitigates the objections above. So... 1. What other companies should I look at? 2. Anybody want to share any experiences / opinions on the Haefely equipment? Does the extra $$ get us extra performance and reliability? Thanks in advance for your help, Jim Eichner, P.Eng.
