SIG Pulse

The latest generation of seismic energy sources

SIG Pulse energy sources are the high voltage power supplies to the sound sources, which are the sparkers, boomer plates. The energy stored in high voltage capacitors is discharged rapidly. The thyristor switch is electronically controlled. The output can be tuned with energy steps of 20 or 100 joules.

  • Safe and reliable
  • Fast charging technology
  • No big generator needed
  • Light weight and easy to install

High voltage and SAFETY

HV connector missing error
HV connector missing error

The SIG Pulse energy sources produce a 4000 volt discharge. They are electronically controlled and secured to prevent any human error. No high voltage possible if not properly connected or if HV cable not immersed.
