UCS 500N5 - COMPACT TESTER FOR EFT/BURST, SURGE AND POWER FAIL

The UCS 500N5 ultra-compact simulator is the most versatile tester to cover transient and power fail requirements according
to international standards (basic and generic standards) and product/product family standards. The UCS 500N5 is the most
economic solution for tests during development as well as for full-compliant immunity tests and CE Marking for single phase
DUT with the ability to be extended for testing three-phase DUTs by means of an automatically controlled external coupling
network up to 100A.
EM TEST supplies a large range of accessories for the various applications such as magnetic field tests.

ACCESSORIES

V 4780 - TAPPED VOLTAGE TRANSFORMER FOR VOLTAGE

DIPS AND INTERRUPTIONS
The V 4780 tapped autotransformer is designed to supply
the required voltages as per IEC 61000-4-11 Ed.2:2004 to
perform voltage dips and interruptions.

V 4780S2 - TAPPED VOLTAGE TRANSFORMER FOR

VOLTAGE DIPS AND INTERRUPTIONS
The V 4780S2 tapped autotransformer is designed to
supply the required voltages as per IEC 61000-4-11
Ed.2:2004 to perform voltage dips and interruptions.
Compared to the manually operated V 4780 the V 4780S2
model offers automatic change of taps according to the
selected voltage level.

MS 100N - MAGNETIC FIELD COIL FOR POWER-FREQUENCY

AND PULSED MAGNETIC FIELDS
The MS 100N is a 1sqm magnetic field coil as specified in
IEC/EN 61000-4-8 and IEC/EN 61000-4-9. Its design
allows easy moving of the coil. The field coil is adjustable
in height and allows for 360degr rotation.
To generate power-frequency magnetic fields in the lower
range the current transformer MC 2630 is used while
high-field strength above 100A/m requires the MC 26100
current transformer.

HFK - CAPACITIVE COUPLING CLAMP

The HFK is a fully compliant capacitive coupling clamp as
per specification of IEC 61000-4-4.

ITP - IMMUNITY TEST PROBES

ITP is a tool being used for development test. It consists
of a variety of electrical field probes. The probes allow to
locate weak points within a system or on a PCB. The burst
pulse is used to generate the disturbance signal.

CA EFT KIT - VERIFICATION KIT FOR EFT/BURST PULSES

As per IEC 61000-4-4 Ed.2 the characteristic of the burst
generator needs to be verified with two different loads,
50ohm and 1,000ohm. EM TEST offers a calibration kit
consisting of the two loads and an adapter to verify the
pulses at the DUT output.
