EN/IEC 61000-4-18 sets for the requirements for testing for repetitive damped oscillatory waves occurring mainly in power, control and signal cables. This standard defines test levels, test equipment, test setup, and test procedures. The goal of this International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standard is a reproducible guide to evaluate equipment when exposed to this type of phenomena. This standard is available for purchase through the ANSI Webstore. It breaks down further testing requirements into two categories:
repetitive damped oscillatory waves occurring mainly in power, control and signal cables installed in high voltage and medium voltage (HV/MV) substations
repetitive damped oscillatory waves occurring mainly in power, control and signal cables installed in gas insulated substations (GIS) and in some cases also air insulated substations (AIS) or in any installation due to HEMP phenomena.
For EN/IEC 61000-4-18 testing We offer the EMC Partner MIG-OS-OS1 and CDN 2000-06-25. These product provides the capabilities to provide and meet requirements of this standard. This solution for testing can be rented with the CDN 2000-06-25 or by itself. These products also provide testing to many other standards including ANSI C37.90, EN/IEC 61000-4-5, and many others. The EMC Partner rental damped oscillatory products come with an A2LA accredited calibration and free technical support included. These products provide comparable testing capabilities to the NSG 3040 SOW.
