Re: 18,000. AMP high energy Cap bank

Pearson founded their company on the ability to do just these difficult tasks. They have transformers that can accurately track and measure very fast rising waveforms --- accurately. If you have a problem to solve don't hesitate to call their application engineers -- they are terrific! So are their products!
