IEC61000 Test Systems

In order to test harmonics and flicker both a stable source, capable of simulating dips and interrupts, and a precise impedance network is required.

The interaction between the source’s own output impedance, the standalone impedance network make this difficult to setup. Our systems have been designed to work together in a compliant system and to produce the require reports.

System Overview

Key Components

Power Analyzer

Full compliance with latest IEC61000-4-7 (harmonics) & 4-15 (Flickermeter) standards, plus world leading ISO17025 accredited calibration of all test protocols.

Impedance Network

ISO71025 certified 1Ø or 3Ø impedance maintaining IEC61000-3-3/11 defined Zref over its complete current range.

Power Source

High stability low impedance source, supporting both emissions and susceptibility standards.

Software

Dedicated IEC61000 software controlling both the source and power analyzer, with intuitive test sequences and report generation.

Current Sensors

System calibrated Flux Gate current transformers provide traceable testing to IEC61000-3-12 (≤75A) harmonic standards.

Dip and Interrupt Simulator

IEC61000-4-11 Dip and Interruptions simulator. Self-contained simulator gives full compliance immunity testing from any suitable AC source.
