OCS 500N6 - COMPACT TESTER FOR RINGWAVE AND DAMPED OSCILLATORY WAVES
The OCS 500N6 includes test capabilities for ringwave up to 6kV (as per EN/IEC 61000-4-12) and the damped oscillatory
waves at 100kHz and 1MHz up to 3kV (as per EN/IEC 61000-4-18).
The Ringwave is a non-repetitive damped oscillatory transient occurring in low-voltage power, control and signal lines
supplied by public and non-public networks. Damped Oscillatory Waves are repetitive transients mainly occurring in power,
control and signal cables installed in high voltage and medium voltage stations.
The OCS 500N6 can also be used to perform magnetic field tests as required in EN/IEC 61000-4-10 using a magnetic field
coil such as the MS 100N.
