Lightning Surge Generators

LIGHTNING INDUCED TRANSIENT SYSTEMS

The EMC Shop stocks lightning surge generators for RTCA/DO-160 Section 22, MIL-STD0461 CS117 and EN/IEC 61000-4-5 transient immunity test requirements.

The EMC Shop supports government contractors, US military and aerospace companies

This requirement is applicable from 10 kHz to 100 MHz for all interconnecting cables, including power cables, and individual high side power leads. Power returns and neutrals need not be tested individually. This test procedure is used to verify the ability of the EUT to withstand damped sinusoidal transients coupled onto EUT associated cables and power leads.

LIGHTNING SURGE TESTS

  1. Multiple Stroke – Waveforms 1 and 2. Applicable to all aircraft
  2. Multiple Stroke – Waveform 3, (apply at both 1 and 10 MHz) Applicable to all aircraft.
  3. Multiple Stroke – Waveform 4 and 5. Applicable to aircraft with composite skin/structure. Not applicable to an all-metal skin/structure aircraft.
  4. Multiple Burst –Waveform 3, (apply at both 1 and 10 MHz).
  5. Multiple Burst –Waveform 6. Applicable to low impedance bundles only.
