Peter, The metrics we use to specify the more complex surge waveshapes are only a modest improvement over the answer a red one to the what car do you drive? question. The ring and possibly 8/20 (part of the combination) waveshapes have current reversals, which complicates matters.

David - Thank you. In one case, the output was after the CDN. In the other, the CDN was not in the circuit. I will ask for calibration screen captures with and without the CDN on both cases. This could prove informative. Regards, Peter Tarver -Original Message- From: Schaefer,

Good morning. I'm wondering if others have experienced cases where different manufacturers' surge test equipment (ANSI/IEEE C62.41 ring and combination waves) with nearly identical open-circuit voltage and short-circuit current calibrations have led to very different results. In these cases,
