Description
Overview
The compact Next Generation NX7 is the most versatile tester to address transient and power fail requirements for both international and commercial standards.
Featuring an easy-to-use color touch screen, the NX7 provides an economical solution for pre-compliance immunity testing as well as full-compliance testing and CE Marking. Its internal single-phase Coupling/Decoupling Network (CDN) can be extended for testing three-phase EUTs by means of an automatically controlled external CDN up to 200 A per phase. AMETEK CTS supplies a large range of accessories for various applications such as magnetic field tests and more.

The V 4780S2 is an automatic tapped auto transformer, designed to supply the required voltages as per IEC/EN 61000-4-11 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. |
DCD 5 SR- and ST-Series |
DCD 5 sr- and st-series coupling/decoupling networks are available to perform surge tests on I/O lines, signal/data lines and telecom lines as per IEC/EN 61000-4-5 Ed 3.0 The DCD 5 sr- series couples surge and ring wave impulses to unsymmetrical signal and datalines for 4 or 8 lines. The DCD 5 st- series couples surge and telecomsurge impulses to symmetrical signal and datalines for 2 or 4 pairs of signal lines. |
MFC 1000 |
The MFC 1000 is a 1m x 1m 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 360 degree rotation. |
CCI |
Capacitive coupling clamp as per specification IEC/EN 61000-4-4. |
ITP |
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. |
PVF BKIT 1 |
As per IEC/EN 61000-4-4 the characteristic of the burst generator needs to be verified with two different loads, 50 ohm and 1,000 ohm. EM TEST offers a calibration kit consisting of the two loads and an adapter to verify the pulses at the EUT output. |
CCI PVKIT 1 |
The IEC/EN 61000-4-4 Ed 3.0 standard published in 2012 recommends the calibration of the capacitive coupling clamp into a 50 ohm coaxial load. |
CA PFS |
The inrush current capability of PowerFail generators as per EN/IEC 61000-4-11 and IEC/EN 61000-4-34 can be verified by means of the CA PFS circuit box. The circuit is specified in Annexes of EN/IEC 61000-4-11, -34 Standard. The inrush current is measured by means of the built-in current delivering a voltage signal of 10 mV/A at the corresponding BNC output connected to an oscilloscope with selected 1 MOhm input impedance. |
HSC 4-8 |
The HSC 4-8 from AMETEK CTS is the first coupling/decoupling network available on the market to couple Surge onto shielded and unshielded high-speed communication lines with data rates up to 1,000MBit/s. |
