Description
The M series powerline Coupling / Decoupling Networks (CDN) are for testing from 150 kHz - 80 MHz 
according to the EN 61000-4-6 standard for immunity 
to conducted disturbance induced by radio frequency 
fields. The standard M series CDNs are a vailable with 
25 amperes current rating.
The coupling network deliv ers injected common mode 
current disturbance signals through the power line conductors to the equipment under test (EUT). The 
decoupling networks are used to ensure that the disturbing signals injected on the powerline of the EUT 
by the coupling networks do not interfere with any of 
the auxiliary equipment connected to the EUT. Each 
CDN contains integrated direct capacitive coupling 
along with a high impedance choke for inductive 
decoupling.
All CDNs are individually calibrated to meet the impedance requirement of EN 61000-4-6. However, test 
level calibration must be performed on site to determine the minimum required test signal needed to 
achieve the required voltage levels specified by EN 
61000-4-6. The appropriate calibration accessories for 
conducting the test is available from Com-Power.
Application
During the test, the CDN is connected to the powerline 
cables between the equipment under test (EUT) and 
auxiliary equipment (AE). The number of conductors 
in the cable will determine which CDN to use for the 
test.
The M125 CDN is used to couple common mode and 
modulated signals onto single power line systems. This 
CDN is ideal for electronic systems that uses the chassis as the DC return. The M225 CDN is for systems 
with two wire power conductor cables without an earth 
terminals and the M325 is for single phase two line 
cables with the an earth ground conductor. The M425 
is used for three phase systems. The M525 CDN is used 
for three phase systems with neutral and protected earth 
ground conductors. All CDNs are also fitted with safety 
sockets for connecting the devices under test.
