MIL-STD-461G CS117 Rentals - Transient Test Systems
Required equipment for MIL-STD-461G CS117:
Lightning Transient Generator
Oscilloscope
Injection Transformer
Current Probe
Attenuators
Voltage Probe
Monitor Loop
Calibration Loop
Capacitors
LISNs
MIL-STD-461G CS117 largest component is the lightning generator designed to provide waveforms for multiple stroke as well as multiple burst. Many of these generators meet only test level three which is sufficient for many applications. The EMC Partner AVI3000 provides pulses of CS117 using the CN-BT7 as the injection probe for this series of tests.
We include many required accessories with our transient generators designed for CS117 including monitoring probe and differential probes upon request.
MIL-STD-461 CS117 apples to all safety-critical equipment interconnecting cables and non-safety critical equipment with interconnecting cables/electrical interfaces that are part of or connected to equipment performing safety critical functions. The goal is to ensure an EUT ability to withstand lightning transients coupled onto EUT associated cables and power leads. It provides requirements for WF1, WF2, WF3, WF4, WF5A, and WF6 (WF meaning Waveform). Table VII provides limit levels for multiple stroke and multiple burst tests. Below you will find WF1 current waveform and WF2 voltage waveform per MIL-STD-461.

MIL-STD-461 CS117 places specific requirements for EMC test equipment based upon required waveforms. This avionic standard also specifies that the power lines are tested separately as well as within the bundle.We offer the AVI 3000 by EMC Partnerfor rental to test to MIL-STD-461 CS117 level 3. This EMC Partner Immunity product is exclusive in testing to all waveforms required by this standard (1, 2, 3, 4, 5A, and 6). It offers an easy to use interface and includes testing options for DO-160 sec.22 as well. We offer flexible rental terms to meet any testing and provide free technical support.
