Safety information

Attention

Before using this equipment, read the operating manual and the

separate delivered safety manual carefully

2.1.

Protected Earth PE

The protective conductor connection is established via the attached power cord and must not be interrupted under any circumstances.

DANGER

Check before connecting the power supply to the unit that the grounding of the building supply is installed according to regulations.

In the absence of an earth connection can the frame can be get in the event of a fault, to the mains voltage potential.

The generator must be properly grounded before connecting on-the EUT supply voltage to the generator.

2.2.

FI Fault current protection

The standards recommend decoupling and filter capacitors to PE for decoupling surge pulses. This is the reason for tripping fault current protection relays interrupt the mains to the EUT supply. For eliminate the circumstance use one of the following options:

Remove the fault current protection

This solution does not limit the current to PE. The surge test as other EMC tests with higher currents to PE are possible. The user must take care to the circuit with no fault current protection. Only trained professional people are allowed to perform such tests.

Using of insulating transformers

An insulating transformer separates the circuit from the test circuit. The Fault current detector cannot detect the earth current in the EUT circuit. The synchronization works between line and PE and therefore a connection between neutral and PE is necessary. Without this N-PE connection the stray capacitance defines the phase sync.

The fault current safety detection function in the generator circuit is disabled. The user must respect this circumstance. For a safe operation he must follow the electrical rulers.

Behind the insulating transformer the neutral and PE must be connected for a proper phase synchronization of the generator. In case of a 3-phase system the user must perform similar.

F6 Set voltage low/high Firmware V 6.01ax (UCS 500N5) V9.04ax (N7x) This Firmware version offers two separate voltage settings for user that needs to test equipment for 115 V and 230V mains supply. Thanks to the two settings, the user can keep the Motorvariac in the 230V position

Using a MV 2616 with voltage selector switch:

- Set the voltage selector to the 230V position for low and high mains voltage supply.

- Use the Firmware with low and high settings and use the MV 2616 for any supply in the 230 V position.

The operator can specify the following parameters: F1: Setup Main Voltage to low 115 V. Motorvariac parameter settings for lower main voltage. (115 V)

F2: Setup Main Voltage to high 230 V Motorvariac parameters for higher main voltage. (230 V) F3: Motorvariac high (low) Selection and indicate of the active “Main Voltage” setting. The

selected setting is used in the power Fail tests for motorvariac control

The procedure for low and high parameters voltage setting is the same as described in F6 Set Voltage below.

F6 Set voltage

For control of an external power supply source an analogue control voltage can be programmed (0-10V dc). The operator can specify the following parameters:

F1: Max. variac voltage V [ V ] Maximal output voltage at 100% position of the external motor variac or dc

controlled voltage source. The analogue reference value for the max. voltage is 10 V.

F2: Mains supply voltage V [ V ] of the device under test. This voltage shall be specified by the operator and

depends on the type of equipment under test. The variac normally is automatically set to this output voltage.

F3: Default channel. The operator select the default channel PF1 or PF2 from which the EUT is powered.

These values are delivered together with the necessary options to conducted magnetic field testing.

- Coil factor depends on the type of antenna which is used for the test.

- Transformer factor depends on the type of transformer which is used for the test.

- Impedance factor depends on the type of surge generator which is used for the test. A generator with a

source impedance of 2 needs an impedance factor of approx. If = 0.5

Setup procedure for Set voltage

The UCS 500 is able to control an external voltage source with a 0-10V analogue dc signal. The 10V level corresponds to the max. output voltage of the connected voltage source. For the correct setting it is necessary to know the max. output voltage of the source. For setting for ac or dc source the same procedure is necessary.

Setup for adjust the external voltage variac to the UCS 500Nx

The voltage setting is a regulating procedure where one winding of the motor-variac is approx. 1.9V. Additionally the control needs some mechanical tolerance for stop the step motor. Therefore the selected voltage is normally in a tolerance of 3V

The motor-variac control has an internal deadband where the voltage will not be adjusted.

The following procedure will guide the user through the Set Voltage procedure. The setting for Umax and Un are listed in the boxes below. After each setting the user has to press the ESC

button for make the setting.

Maintenance setup and service

7.1.

General

The generator is absolutely maintenance-free by using a solid state semiconductor switch to generate transients

7.2.

Test set- up

When setting up the test national and international regulations regarding human safety have to be guaranteed.

It is recommended to connect the simulator to the ground reference plane of the test set-up.

The generators of the series 500, UCS, VCS, CSS, TSS and CNI, can be linked together to a fully automotive test set-up.

The set-up communicates via the IEEE / GPIB bus and is controlled by software. For setting up the system see the following figures:

Each generator can be operated individual as a single equipment.

7.3.

Fuse for the EUT power supply

The EM Test pulse generators have no built in fuse for the EUT power supply. It is in the scope of responsibility of the user to protect the EUT external for the rated current.

The design of the external fuse must be match the following rules:

- fuse dimension must be equal or smaller than the rated EUT current of the connected test generator

- fuse must be designed for protect the connected EUT device under test in malfunction

Example of external fuse

Fuse in the building is designed for 32A. A Fuse box with 16A fuse protection is installed between the building supply and the test generator. Test generator and EUT are now fused for 16A rated current

Example

16A protection with a 100A installation with a 3-phase fuse box.

The user has protected his Equipment Under Test with this additional fuse box for a rated current of 16A.

7.4.

Insulating- or external transformer for EUT power supply

The recommended power of an external transformer must be > 500VA. The reason is the

capacitive current of the internal filter capacitors inside the UCS 500N5 / N7.

Operating Manual V 5.40 37 / 99

7.5.

Calibration and verification

7.5.1.

Factory calibration

Every EM TEST generator is entirely checked and calibrated as per international standard regulations before delivery. A calibration certificate is issued and delivered along with a list of the equipment used for the calibration proving the traceability of the measuring equipment. All auxiliary equipment and accessories are checked to our internal manufacturer guidelines.

The calibration certificate and the certificate of compliance (if available) show the date of calibration.

The EM Test equipment are calibrated in the factory and marked with a calibration mark. The used measuring instruments are traceable to the Swiss Federal Office of Metrology. The calibration date is marked. The validity of the calibration is to the responsibility

of the user’s quality system. Neither the certificate of calibration nor the

corresponding label mark any due date for re-calibration.

Example: Calibration mark

7.5.2.

Guideline to determine the calibration period of EM Test instrumentation

Our International Service Departments and our QA Manager are frequently asked about the calibration interval of EM TEST equipment.

EM TEST doesn’t know each customer’s Quality Assurance Policy nor do we know how often the equipment is used and what kind of tests are performed during the life cycle of a test equipment. Only the customer knows all the details and therefore the customer needs to specify the calibration interval for his test equipment.

In reply to all these questions we like to approach this issue as follows : EM TEST make use of a solid state semiconductor switch technique to generate high voltage transients. A precious advantage of this technique is the absolute lack of periodical maintenance effort. In consequence thereof a useful calibration period has to be defined based on two criteria :

- The first one is the customer’s Quality Assurance Policy. Any existent internal regulation has to be applied at highest priority. In the absence of such internal regulation the utilization rate of the test equipment has to be taken into consideration.

- Based on the experience and observation collected over the years EM TEST recommend a calibration interval of 1 year for frequently used equipment. A 2-years calibration interval is considered sufficient for rarely used test generators in order to assure proper performance and compliance to the standard specifications.

7.5.3.

Calibration of Accessories made by passive components only:

Passive components do not change their technical specification during storage. Consequently the measured values and the plots stay valid throughout the storage time. The date of shipment shall be considered as the date of calibration.

7.5.4.

Periodically In-house verification

Please refer to the corresponding standard before carrying out a calibration or verification. The standard describes the procedure, the tolerances and the necessary auxiliary means. Suitable calibration adapters are needed. To compare the verification results, EM Test suggests to refer to the waveshape and values of the original calibration certificate.

All calibrations and verifications are always done without mains supply voltage connected to the coupling network input.

Danger

Before starting the calibration or verification

remove the EUT Mains Supply

from the generator and from the coupling network

Accessories and options

 ESA Adapter for adapt different power mains connectors

As accessories adapters to different power mains connectors are part of the delivery of EM TEST surge generators. E.g. these are adaptors for Schuko - US

- AUS - UK power mains connectors. Most of these commercially available power mains sockets cannot withstand

surge voltages higher than 4000V. Therefore each of these EM TEST adaptors are labeled to be used up to 4000V maximum.

In case that the EM TEST surge generator can generate higher surge voltages than 4000V a sparkover at the power mains socket may occur.

Customers shall be aware of this matter and shall not use higher voltages than labeled on the adapter.

For testing higher voltages it is necessary to use high voltage cables with sufficient isolation and safety banana connectors connected direct to the generator output plugs (L-N-PE).

Warning

If the user reduces the test voltage in Quick Start or in the Manual Standard Test Routine, the storage capacitor will be discharged only by the burst pulses. The result is a higher test

voltage on the EUT than indicated on the display until the storage capacitor is discharged to the preselected value.

If the voltage reduction is several 100V the discharge time to the correct test voltage can be some seconds. The discharge time depends on the repetition rate tr and the duration td of the burst pulse.

Pressing STOP / START will discharge the storage capacitor over the discharge resistor immediately. After the START the test will continue with the correct voltage level.

Customized test routines

The software controls user test routines according to the specification of the user. All limitations are the same as defined under Quick Start.

Synchronized with a fixed phase angle

The burst is triggered with respect to the phase angle of the power supply connected to the Sync input at the rear panel of the equipment. The power supply must be an AC voltage with a nominal frequency of 16 to 500Hz. The phase must be connected to L. This can be checked by the lamp connected to the L input.

Random burst release

No repetition rate is selected. The single burst will be triggered by statistics in the limits of 20 to 2000ms as time between two bursts. All limitations are the same as defined under Quick Start.

Voltage change after T by V The test voltage is increased from V1 to V2 by steps of V after the defined test time T. All limitations are the same as defined under Quick Start. The limitation of the max. generated number of spikes is related to the higher voltage of V1 or V2.

Note: The maximum value for frequency, burst duration td and voltage are in dependence of each other and therefore limited by the

generator performance. The practical limits of the UCS500N7 are 20kHz for f2 and 50ms for the burst duration td. The limits of the generator model UCS 500N5 are approx. 10 times higher.

Frequency sweep with a constant pulse numbers

The burst duration is increased from td1 to td2 by steps of  td after the defined test time T. All limitations are the same as defined under Quick Start. The limitation of the max. generated number of spikes is related to the higher duration of td1 or td2.

Frequency sweep with a constant duration after T by f

The spike frequency is increased from f1 to f2 by steps of f after the defined test time T. All limitations are the same as defined under Quick Start. The limitation of the max. generated number of spikes is related to the higher frequency of f1 or f2.

Polarity change after T

The polarity will be changed from + to - after the defined test time T.

Burst generation

Discharge switch:

The discharge switch is a highly reproducible semiconductor switch. Spike frequencies up to 1000kHz are by a factor of 10 higher than recommended in the actual EFT standards. This means of course that also the pulse energy would be 10 times higher. This is not generally possible for the high voltage switch.

Test level with Burst as per IEC 61000-4-4 Ed.2.

Burst generators, which the specifications in accordance with. IEC 61000-4-4 Ed2: 2004 fulfills, have a limitation of the maximum output voltage. The efficiency of the burst pulses decreases with the numbers of couplings.

Therefore the maximum test level is limited by the number of coupling on several lines. Generators with the modification in accordance with IEC 61000-4-4 Ed2: 2004 the. max. test levels have the

Coupling/decoupling network

The decoupling part of the coupling network has to:

- filter the interference pulses in the direction to the power supply;

- protect other systems that are connected to the same power supply and

- realize a high impedance of the power supply, e.g. battery supply.

9.4.1.

Coupling/decoupling network for ac/dc power lines

The coupling network couples the EFT pulses via 33 nF capacitors onto the AC or DC power lines. As coupling devices capacitors of sufficient strength and bandwidth shall be used according to IEC 61000-4-4.

The coupling on signal lines can usually not be effected capacitive without interfering with the signal flow. It is often impossible to contact the required circuit (direct), e. g. coaxial or shielded cables. In this case the coupling is realized with the capacitive coupling clamp. The interference simulator can be connected on both sides of the coupling clamp.

Coupling method: Test duration: At least 2 minutes in positive and negative polarity. The test duration must be at least as long for

examine all functions of the EUT

Coupling IEC 61000-4-4 edition 2 (2004) and later versions requires to couple all lines simultaneously in

Common Mode coupling. This means that a EFT test needs two tests with 60s (positive and negative 60s each).

9.4.2

IEC 61000-4-4 (1995, 2001) requires all line combination to be tested individually. A 1-phase EUT needs to test all combination L, N, PE, L+N, L+PE, N+PE, L+N+PE each with two tests with 60s (positive and negative 60s each). Total test time 14 x 60 seconds

9.4.2.

Capacitive coupling clamp

- The coupling clamp is not matched by 50 ohm. If the clamp is matched there exists an additional magnetic coupling, which may cause completely different test results.

- The clamp should be placed in a distance of 0.5m to the equipment under test. When the distance is shorter distances, the EUT may be influenced by radiation.

- If the EUT is includes two separate equipment, the test should be conducted on each single equipment with the required distance.

9.5.

Burst Test Setup

EM TEST UCS 500 Series

Operating Manual V 5.40 47 / 99

- The test generator and the coupling network should be connected to the reference ground plane (acc. to high frequency requirements).

- The equipment under test must be isolated from the reference ground plane. The distance should be 10cm. Being part of the EUT, these requirements are also recommended for all connected cables. The EUT should only be grounded if this is recommended by the installation guideline. For safety reasons, the test without any ground connection should be conducted as well (at 100MHz 1m ground cable has an impedance of about 600 ohm)

- Whenever possible the test set-up and the cabling should always be the same; e.g. for testing power lines it would be possible to fix the cables on the test table for all tests in the same way.

- Lines under test and all other lines should be decoupled strictly.

9.5.1.

Test setup with capacitive coupling clamp

When using the coupling clamp, the minimum distance between the coupling plates and all other conductive surfaces (including the generator), except the ground reference plane beneath the coupling clamp and beneath the EUT, shall be at least 0,5 m.

The distance between any coupling devices

and the EUT shall be (0,5 − 0/+0,1) m for

tabletop equipment testing, and (1,0 ± 0,1) m for floor standing equipment, unless otherwise specified in product standards. When it is not physically possible to apply the distances mentioned above, other distances can be used and shall be recorded in the test report.

WARNING

The internal coupling network is designed for mains frequency 50Hz / 60Hz.

When L – N coupling is selected an additional current of approx. 1.5A flows, caused by the 18F coupling capacitor and the pulse forming network. A similar current appears during the

couplings to PE. Tests with 400 Hz mains frequency destroy the coupling network. An external coupling

network is recommended with inductors and capacitors matched to the 400Hz mains frequency.

The current limiter stops the test run when during a test the measured peak current of a surge pulse is higher than the preselected current value. This safety function protect the EUT for further surge pulses can occur any dangerous situation. Depends of the different impedance of the surge generator, one current limiter for each impedance (2, 12) is available.

REMARK

The current limits in Software and Manual operation are two individual settings. Software uses the software settings for I_D and I_C

Manual operating uses the device settings for I_D and I_C

Note : Surge pulses with the coupling position “\” (potential free output at the rear side of the generator ) use the settings of

common mode. This is general used for the coupling network CNV 504 / 508 with 42 impedance. Using a coupling network CNI 503 or CNV 503, UCS uses the limits of differential and common mode.

Coupling/decoupling network

The coupling network has to couple the interference pulses to the lines of a power supply system (AC or DC). Capacitive coupling is the specified coupling mode for surge testing.

10.3.1.

Coupling to ac/dc power supply lines

The surge generator UCS 500 has an integrated coupling network in accordance with IEC 61000-4-5. It must be possible to test with different coupling modes:

Line

Coupling Line to Line

Coupling Line to Earth

The release of the surge pulses is mostly related to a certain phase angle. The surge pulses are synchronized to the input signal at the rear Sync-connector.

Attention: The decoupling part of the coupling/decoupling network includes some capacitors for filtering of 20F related tp protective earth (chassis of the generator). This is to be conform with the requirement of IEC 61000-4-5 concerning attenuation of the surge transients in direction to the power mains supply input of the CDN. As consequence there will exist an increased current to PE (protective earth) which might be hazardous to the operator in case of a failure or wrong installation. Therefore it is very important to take the following points into account before setting the generator into full operation.:

1. Due to this increased current into the PE system no earth fault current protectors can be used within a surge testing area.

2. As consequence the surge generator shall be connected always to Protective Earth, even if no test is conducted.

 via plugged in power mains supply cable including the PE wire!!!!!!  via plugged in EUT power mains supply at the rear side of the generator, including the PE wire !!!!  via Ground Reference Connector, screwed to the chassis of the generator.

These measures result in double safety in case of a fault

Coupling to I / O lines

The coupling to I/O lines is generally realized with other coupling networks than for power supply lines. The loading of the I/O lines with big coupling capacitors is mostly not possible. The data transmission may be disturbed.

For coupling to I/O lines special couplers as per IEC 610004-5 are available, such as the CNV 504N- and the CNV 508N-series for four respectively for eight wire systems.

For many application a special coupling network is required.

Test set-up

According to the specifications of IEC 61000-4-5, the surge generator has a source impedance of 12ohm when the simulator is coupled between the lines and protective earth.

This will activate fault current detectors or protectors which may be installed in the laboratory. Therefore it is important

- not to disconnect the surge simulator form protective earth (power cable)

- to have an installation where the simulator is connected via its ground reference connector to earth

The Power Fail Test

The power fail simulator operates in the following mode:

PF1: The voltage supply at channel PF1 will be interrupted for the preselected time T1. PF2: The voltage supply at channel PF2 will be interrupted for the preselected time T1.

U: Channels PF1 and PF2 are supplied with different voltages; e.g.

channel PF1 with nominal voltage, channel PF2 with 15% undervoltage.

- channel PF1 is switched off for the preselected time T1.

- channel PF2 is switched on for T1.

LED

Two LED’s mounted on the front panel show if a channels is active or not. The LED of an active channel is lighted. During mode U the LED display switches from one channel to the other.

Voltage interference

In order to accelerate the test procedure the voltage interference may be generated

repetitively. In the operating mode „AUTO“ the events are released at a preselected interval

time.

Power switches

The power unit of the simulator consists of two electronic power switches S1 and S2. The two separated input channels PF1 and PF2 are connected to each other at the front panel of the simulator via S1 and S2.

Input channels

The input channels PF1 and PF2 are located at the rear part of the equipment. Attention has to be given to the following:

1. The phase shall be connected correctly. When putting into operation check the lines with a phase

tester or with the incorporated LED phase.

2. Phase must be set on L, neutral must be set on N.

3. This applies to both channels. If during installation phase and neutral is changed, the operator will

cause a short-circuit at the input plug of the channel.

4. The neutral of both channels is connected internally and directly leads to the output.

5. The power switches can bear no more than a voltage of 350Veff.

6. If isolating transformers are used special care shall be taken to have both channels in phase.

Otherwise too high voltages, in difference mode, may occur and destroy the internal protection devices (varistors).

Power switches

The power switches are electronically protected against overload and shortcircuits. The nominal current of the switches is 25A.

Special protection requirements of the EUT must be separately assured by the user.

Inrush currents of  = 500A are permitted. To avoid higher inrush currents of the EUT an electronic control limiting the inrush current is incorporated in the device.

Correct phase relation between PF1 and PF2

Over-voltage generated by connecting or disconnecting additional loads will be limited internally by varistors in parallel to the electronic switch.

The Power Fail Test

The generator type UCS 500N5/N7 simulates the following interference :

- Voltage dips

- Voltage interruptions

- Voltage variations

- Inverse

11.5.1.

Voltage Interruptions

Depending on the preselected test parameters at the front panel of the simulator the power supply for the EUT is interrupted for a certain time and at a certain phase angle (AC power supplies).

The power supply for the EUT is connected at the rear part of the simulator to channel PF1. The power supply may be taken directly from the mains power supply or from a separate voltage source. Mostly used for this tests are motor driven variacs

Power fail tests are normally carried out at a nominal voltage and at maximum tolerance under-voltage. The nominal voltage may be connected to PF1 and the reduced dip voltage to PF2.

The power fail test may be carried out in various operating modes:

High impedance interruptions

With U mode the EUT supply is interrupted by the electronic switch. The PF2 input is not connected. The EUT must discharge itself internally.

Low impedance interruptions

The EUT supply is connected to PF1. The channel PF2 is shortcircuited (L-N). The EUT supply is disconnected by the electronic switch of PF1 and the EUT will be discharged into a low impedance via the electronic switch of PF2

EM TEST UCS 500 Series

Operating Manual V 5.40 71 / 99

11.5.2.

Voltage dips, voltage variations

Depending on the preselected test parameters, the test voltage is changed to a higher or to a lower value for a certain duration and at a certain phase angle.

Voltage variations are normally related to the nominal value of the supply voltage. Therefore two different variacs shall be connected at the rear side of the simulator.

- PF1  Nominal voltage

- PF2  Under- / overvoltage

The operation mode U shall be preselected. The voltage variation is realized by switching the power supply from channel PF1 to channel PF2.

If a motor driven variac is available, it is also possible to drive the source by an analogue voltage 0 - 10V. This control voltage is available at the coaxial output at the rear part of the simulator

The control voltage is to be set via the operator menu or the interfaces of the PFS. A complete user software to drive ramps and functions is also available

11.6.

DC Power networks

Basically there is no difference in the operation of the equipment between AC and DC power supplies. The only point the user should take care of are the grounding conditions.

The voltmeter, the "MONITOR" output and the LED are related to protective earth or to the simulator’s chassis,

respectively. Therefore these instruments can be used to check line or neutral and to measure at the output CRO U while the test procedure is running. It results for the DC power supply operation:

- If it is possible to ground the "MINUS" pole of the DC supply, from the EUT point of view, the blue output plug (minus) should be connected to the green/yellow plug.

- By this way the power supply source connected at the rear side of the simulator might be grounded.

 All measuring facilities are available if

- it is not possible to ground the "MINUS" pole and therefore the voltmeter cannot indicate the DC voltage.

- the phase indication led at the EUT supply input are not glowing

- there is no signal at the "CRO U" output.

- Voltage dip by 100% to 0% of the nominal voltage for 20ms respectively 1 period

- Voltage dip by 60% to 40% of the nominal voltage for 200ms respectively 10 periods

Is the reference dc voltage out of the tolerance ( 0.25V), the control will not switch to any tap to the PF2 output.

Operating with ramps the control circuit will not select a tap, if the ramp (0-100%) is shorter than approx. 4s. Programming longer ramps, each tap will switch on and off when the reference is in the valid range.

Motor variac type MV 2616

The motor variac can be used to simulate power supply failures as under-voltages, voltage interruptions and voltage variations. The basic standard IEC 61000-4-11 and the generic standard EN 50081-2 are specifying these phenomena.

11.7.2.1.

Voltage dips / interruptions

Voltage interruptions will cause a reduction of the power supply voltage for a certain period of time. Three different test levels are required:

- Voltage dip by 100% to 0% of the nominal voltage for 10ms or. ½ period

- Voltage dip by 100% to 0% of the nominal voltage for 20ms respectively 1 period

- Voltage dip by 60% to 40% of the nominal voltage for 200ms respectively 10 periods

- Voltage dip by 30% to 70% of the nominal voltage for 500Ns respectively 25 periods

- Voltage dip by 20% to 80% of the nominal voltage for 5000ms respectively 250 periods

Standard voltage dips

Connection diagram MV2616

The unit has to be connected at the rear part of the equipment. For connection safety laboratory cables shall be used.

11.7.2.2.

Voltage variation

Additionally it is possible to drive certain functions of variation, which also are required in IEC 61000-4-11. These functions can easily be programmed within the simulators itself or within the related windows software ISMIEC

V2 Test level [ %U1]: 40%, 0% tf Time for decreasing voltage [sec] 2 ± 20% t1 Time at retained voltage [sec] 1 ± 20% tr Time for increasing [sec] 2 ± 20%

For new FDIS IEC 61000-4-11 (2004) use a new procedure for voltage variation , who simulate a voltage dip during a motor start.

The motor variac will be set previously to the voltage V2. The switch to PF2 happens in the UCS 500. Then the motor variac increase the voltage controlled by the UCS. After ti the voltage change back to PF1

The speed of the voltage variation depends on the max. speed of the motorvariac and the control setting of the integral action controller. The behavior can be influenced by the parameter Vnominal. Setting in the setup menu Setup / F5 Voltage setting.

The user can optimize his setting for the test. Vn = Vmax of motorvariac Red curve the voltage rising is too fast. Vn = 110% of Vnominal Green curve optimum setting Vn = Vnominal Blue curve the voltage regulation is too slow.

Ring wave pulse generation

Discharge switch:

The discharge switch is a highly reproducible semiconductor switch.

12.3.

Coupling/decoupling network

The coupling network has to couple the interference pulses to the lines of a power supply system (AC or DC). Capacitive coupling is the specified coupling mode for surge testing.

12.3.1.

Coupling to ac/dc power supply lines

The surge generator UCS 500 has an integrated coupling network in accordance with IEC 61000-4-12. It must be possible to test with different coupling modes:

Line



GND or

Neutral



GND or

L + N

Coupling Line to Line

Coupling Line to Earth

The release of the surge pulses is mostly related to a certain phase angle. The surge pulses are synchronized to the input signal at the rear Sync-connector.

Attention: The decoupling part of the coupling/decoupling network includes some capacitors for filtering of 20F related tp protective earth (chassis of the generator). This is to be conform with the requirement of IEC 61000-4-5 concerning attenuation of the surge transients in direction to the power mains supply input of the CDN. As consequence there will exist an increased current to PE (protective earth) which might be hazardous to the operator in case of a failure or wrong installation. Therefore it is very important to take the following points into account before setting the generator into full operation.:

12.4.

Test set-up

According to the specifications of IEC 61000-4-12, the ring wave generator has a source impedance of 12 ohm when the simulator is coupled between the lines and protective earth.

Therefore it is important

- not to disconnect the surge simulator form protective earth (power cable)

- to have an installation where the simulator is connected via its ground reference connector to earth

1. Due to this increased current into the PE system no earth fault current protectors can be used within

a surge testing area.

2. As consequence the surge generator shall be connected always to Protective Earth, even if no test is conducted.

 via plugged in power mains supply cable including the PE wire!!!!!!  via plugged in EUT power mains supply at the rear side of the generator, including the PE wire !!!!  via Ground Reference Connector, screwed to the chassis of the generator.

These measures result in double safety in case of a fault

Tf = tr

30%-90%

x 1.25

Definition of Decay Time

The decay time is calculated by measuring the time from the initial rise of the waveform to the point where it decays to 50% of the maximum value. Because the time of the initial rise is difficult to measure the decay time can be calculated by adding the time between 50% of the amplitude of rising to 50% of the amplitude of decaying and 50% of the front time as defined before.

USB interface

USB interface “USB B” connector. For data transfer a USB interface is available. The internal RS 232

interface is converted to USB standard. Therefore, the user must set the same baud rate in the device and control software. Using the USB interface the user can have EMC problems during burst tests. Therefore, a high quality USB cable (USB 2.0 standard) must be used.

The experience shows that usually the computer USB port is disturbed by interference’s. The ferrite FER- USB reduces additional the interferences on the USB cable.

If there are still interferences, the whole test set-up with the wiring has to be reconsidered.

USB cable setup

The USB cable must be above ground with a distance of at least 10 cm. Otherwise the cable can be an antenna for the common mode burst pulses and the communication may be influenced.

EM test provides a suitable ferrite as accessories under the name UBS FER.

Best results are reached with 8 turns.
