Hi,
We have borrowed a Schaffner BEST  mains transient tester.

https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwiWmev9p7-HAxXSQkEAHbkPOvcQFnoECBQQAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.testequipmenthq.com%2Fdatasheets%2FSCHAFFNER-BEST%2520EMC-Datasheet.pdf&usg=AOvVaw2xiW76rO8RXjPLXeteAcjW&opi=89978449

Do you know a youtube video for it?
We cant find it on their website

We wish to test our mains product.

FFS...

Learn to use google to find datasheets/manuals.

Learn to use the search bar on the youtube website.

If you are so incompetent that you cannot do that, then are you sufficiently competent to design mains-voltage high-power devices like SMPSs?

Second best: learn how to ask questions that people will want to answer. Caution: it may be difficult for you because it requires thinking before emitting, and requires a little work on your part.

If you can't manage that, ask the other person you refer to when you use "we".
There are lies, damned lies, statistics - and ADC/DAC specs.

Thanks though i have checked and theres no youtube and no online user manual for this kit.
Schaffner dont even feature it on their website any more....and it doesnt work with an RCD based supply...as we found out.

We have borrowed a Schaffner BEST  mains transient tester.

You may want to borrow the manuals and WinBest software too.  Also, you may want to consider hiring the people that own it for a few hours of training.

Thanks , We borrowed it but they wont help us.
They gave us the paper manual but many pages are missing.

The kit doesnt  have the "cable coupler" with it, so we have to make one..but without the manual, we cant make it.
This kit equivalent would cost £150/week to hire...guessing this is why all the online manuals have been "disappeared".

For burst testing, we have one page,  which shows a voltage going up to peak in 5ns,  then back down in 50ns...thats ridiculous...the cct stray L wouldnt allow that.
But the following pages are missing.

The manual quotes EN50082...but this is defunct now.

No big deal.  Just return it and rent one.
