Solar Model 6254-5S RFI Transient Generator

Description

For Conducted Transient Susceptibility Testing Up to 250 volts, peak

The Model 6254-5S RFI Transient Generator provides up to 250 volts peak amplitude. The output transient shape follows the curve given in Figure 19 of MIL-STD-462. Less than 1.0 microsecond rise time, falling to zero in 8 to 14 microseconds, crossing through zero to “ring” in the manner of an inductive transient and returning to zero again as it “rings.” The amplitude of the transient is adjustable from less than 10 volts to over 250 volts peak.

Using series injection on 50, 60 or 400 Hz lines, the transient can be applied to the positive or the negative half-cycle. The transient’s relation to the sine wave may be adjusted in phase from 0° to 360°.

For non-synchronous injection, the repetitive rate of the transient can be adjusted from 0.5 to 500 p.p.s.

For synchronous injection, a square wave input from an external source enables the transient to be triggered in terms of the digital or pulse characteristics of the test sample through the range 0.1 p.p.s. to 800 p.p.s.

A panel mounted push-button allows manual injection of single transients. A rear connector provides for remote triggering of single transients in terms of your system requirements.

Output terminals provide for either series injection on AC. lines or parallel injection on DC lines as required by specifications. Output terminals are isolated from chassis and the AC line.

Features

  • Provides outputs from less than
    10 volts to over 250 volts peak amplitude into high impedance loads and more than 35 kw into 0.5 ohm load.
  • Wider range of repetition rates allows greater utilization in empirical setups.
  • Output terminals for series or parallel injection.
  • Single pulse feature enables controlled isolation of transient effects.
  • Adjustable pulse position on AC lines relates the transient susceptibility to the real time aspects of digital systems.
  • Transient may be injected in synchronism with repetitive circuit functions as required by method CS06 of MIL-STD-462.
  • Remote triggering of individual or repetitive pulses in terms of particular system characteristics.
