Description
The Pacific Power Source Electronic Power Transfer Switch module (EPTS) uses solid state electronic switch technology to meet the IEC61000-4-11 (AC), IEC61000-4-27 (AC), IEC61000-4-34 (AC) or IEC61000-4-29 (DC1) Test requirements for voltage dips, short interruptions and voltage unbalance with voltage transition rates less than 5 usec. This supports full compliance testing of equipment for CE compliance.
Voltage Dips, Interrupts, Variations & Phase Unbalance
The EPTS Series units are designed to support full-compliance voltage dip testing for any dip level. It requires the use of AC mains, fixed AC generator or DC Power Supply for the nominal 100% test level and a programmable AC and DC capable power source for the dip levels needed.
Power Connections
All power connections are made at the rear panel of the EPTS chassis. There are no user controls on the front other than the power On/Off switch. Status and Error indicators are provided for each phase. The EPTS generates a phase sync signal from the AC Main input to synchronize the programmable AC source. All control of the programmable AC power source and the EPTS is done using the included Epts_Gui IEC Test software.
Principle of Operation
The EPTS hardware is designed specifically to provide full compliance testing of products for CE marking. This requires support of the fast voltage rise and fall time called out in IEC test standards like IEC61000-4-11, IEC61000-4-27, IEC61000-4- 34 (AC) and IEC 61000-4-29 (DC).
This is accomplished by using an electronic power transfer switch controlled by the same IEC Test software that controls the AC or DC dip level of the programmable power source. The nominal voltage to the unit under test is supplied by either a second AC or DC power supply or in case of AC, from the local mains.
For IEC 61000-4-29 DC voltage test applications, a DC power source is used in place of the AC Mains.
