Advanced T-LSIM System Detections using Amplified External Isolated Source-Sense Unit Available to Purchase

Thermal-Laser Signal Injection Microscopy (T-LSIM) is a widely used fault isolation technique. Although there are several T-LSIM systems on the market, each is limited in terms of the voltage and current it can produce. In this paper, the authors explain how they incorporated an Amplified External Isolated Source-Sense (AxISS) unit into their T-LSIM platform, increasing its current sourcing capability and voltage biasing range. They also provide examples highlighting the types of faults and failures that the modified system can detect.
