Multi-Test EMC Generators

Overview

Accomplish all common conducted immunity testing to conform with EMC (electromagnetic compliance) standards for CE marking in one multi-purpose instrument. Generate electrical disturbances for Surge (Combination wave pulse 1.2/50 - 8/20 μs), Burst/EFT (5/50 ns), and Ringwave (0.5 μs/100 kHz) as well as pass power quality compliance standards by simulating AC dips, drops, and interruptions. The EMC Shop stocks all types of multifunction generators for compliance and pre-compliance testing. Rent or buy generators for individual tests or multifunction generators to complete an assortment of tests in a compact solution. Most systems can be easily upgraded to include additional tests as required.

Multifunction generators are typically benchtop, but heavy equipment. When doing testing on three phase power lines systems usually require much larger coupling/decoupling networks which substantially increase system size. EM test environments with ground planes with connections to earth are required to safely use transient generators.

Common Combination Wave/Surge Tests

  • IEC/EN 61000-4-5 specifies two Combination Wave pulses: Open Circuit Voltage Short Circuit Current
  • A common combination wave test is the 1.2/50 & 8/20
  • Another common wave test is the 10/700 & 5/320, or otherwise known as telecom wave
  • The four standard test levels , excluded of EUT: 0.5, 1, 2, 4 kV (0.25, 0.5, 1, 2 kA)

Common (EFT)/Burst Generator Tests

  • A typical burst has a single pulse rise time/duration of 5 ns/50 ns from a source impedance of 50 Ω
  • Bursts of 15 ms duration with a repetition rate of 5 kHz (or 100 kHz) are applied every 300 ms
  • The standard defines four basic test levels, all with repetition frequencies 5 or 100 kHz
  • The level voltage depends on equipment being tested:
  • Power ports: 0.5 , 1, 2, 4 kV
  • Signal and control ports: 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2 kV

Ring Wave Immunity Generator Tests

For compliance, the ring wave has a measured 0.5 us rise time and 100 kHz oscillation frequency This impulse is commonly used for applications related to power distribution and railway environments.
