On July 15, Feidian Chuangcheng worked with a university high-voltage laboratory to review a test setup for applying pulses to insulation samples and acquiring waveforms. The laboratory wanted clear connection notes and a consistent naming system so records would remain comparable when samples changed.

The teams reviewed the source, load, triggering and voltage measurement requirements against the equipment conditions. They then checked the connections between the voltage divider and acquisition equipment. Sample identifiers, instrument settings and waveform files were kept together rather than filed separately after each test.

Linking equipment settings to recorded waveforms

The review covered the following stages. The laboratory determines the test settings according to its task and equipment conditions.

Test stageInformation retained
Pulse applicationSource configuration, load conditions and sample identifier
Voltage acquisitionDivider connections and acquisition settings
Waveform archivingWaveform file, trigger conditions and test observations

After checking the measurement chain, the site team acquired waveforms from a test sample and assembled circuit notes and a record template. Later changes to samples or measurement settings can be documented against the same record.
