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.

The EPTS module is placed between the output of a programmable AC source and the equipment to be tested for compliance to IEC 61000-4-11or IEC 61000-4-34.

The programmable AC Power Source is programmed to supply the Voltage Dip level called out in the test standard, either 80%, 70%, 40% or 0% of Unom or any other value from 0 Vrms to 400 Vrms.

For Voltage dips and interruption testing, the EPTS switches between the nominal AC line voltage provided by the grid and the output of the programmable AC source for a period determined by the EPTS control software as programmed per the IEC 61000-4-11/34 standard.

The user can configure specific test voltage dip levels and durations as required by the IEC 61000-4-11/34 and IEC61000-4-27 product standards and save these settings for future use as needed. For the optional EIC 61000-4-11/-34Voltage Variations tests, the EPTS-3-XX switch is placed in BYPASS mode and the programmable AC power source is used only to generate the requisite voltage variation sweeps and timing.
