What is BS EN 61083-1- High-voltage impulse tests about?
BS EN 61083-1 is an international standard that focuses on digital recorders for measurements in high-voltage impulse tests.
BS EN 61083-1 is applicable to digital recorders, including digital oscilloscopes, analogue oscilloscopes, and peak voltmeters used for measurements during tests with high impulse voltages and high impulse currents.
BS EN 61083-1 specifies the measuring characteristics and calibrations required to meet the measuring uncertainties and procedures specified in IEC 60060-2.
BS EN 61083-1:
- Defines the terms specifically related to digital recorders, analogue oscilloscopes, and peak voltmeters
- Specifies the necessary requirements for such instruments to ensure their compliance with the requirements for high-voltage and for high-current impulse tests
- Establishes the tests and procedures necessary to demonstrate their compliance
Note: BS EN 61083-1 covers only digital recorders that permit access to raw data from permanent or temporary storage.

Why should you use BS EN 61083-1- High-voltage impulse tests?
A Digital recorder is an instrument that includes a digital oscilloscope, which makes a temporary digital record of a high-voltage or high-current impulse, that is converted into a permanent record. The digital record is displayed in the form of an analogue graph.
BS EN 61083-1 explains the range of operating conditions under which the instrument operates and meets the accuracy requirements specified for the instrument.
BS EN 61083-1 guides the calibration test methods for digital recorders. It helps in determining static differential and integral non-linearities.
BS EN 61083-1 also assists you with differential non-linearity under dynamic conditions and aids in checking the internal noise levels of digital recorders and oscilloscopes.
BS EN 61083-1 guides on performing the impulse tests, type tests, routine tests, and performance tests on digital recorders for measurements in high-voltage impulse tests, which can be beneficial for your business.
