DC-LISN-M2-100

DUAL-LINE-V-Y-Δ-LISN FOR GCPC

Teseq introduces a new Line Impedance Stabilization Network (LISN) for conducted emissions testing of
Grid Connected Power Conditioners (GCPC). The DC-LISN-M2-100 is designed for measuring disturbances
on DC power ports in the frequency range from 150 kHz to 30 MHz. Research results have shown that
a typical artificial mains V-network as described in CISPR 16-1-2 can not be used for the assessment of
unsymmetrical disturbances of a photovoltaic inverter’s DC port. CDNs based on IEC / EN 61000-4-6 are
typical not specified for high common-mode currents and differential-mode disturbances. Additionally,
they are undefined below 150 kHz.

The DC-LISN-M2-100 provides enhanced LISN performance with a common-mode impedance of 150 Ω
DC-LISN-M2-100 and a differential-mode impedance of 100 Ω. Depending on the switch position, the LISN works as V, Y
or Delta shape LISN. Further, the DC-LISN offers defined termination impedance in the frequency range
1 kHz to 150 kHz.
Frequency range 150 kHz to 30 MHz
150 Ω DC-LISN for photovoltaic The DC-LISN-M2-100 conforms to the latest requirements of the international standard working group
inverters MT GCPC: GRID CONNECTED POWER CONDITIONERS.
