EMC Partner MIL-STD-461 & RTCA/DO-160 Equipment
This video by EMC Partner describes the products offered for MIL-STD-461 and RTCA DO 160 testing including indirect lightning testing.
System Overview
Description
The AVI3000 made by EMC Partner is an all in one integrated solution to indirect lightning testing needs. A2LA accredited calibration is included in the EMC rental equipment price. It allows for a single coupler where EUT passes only once to transfer all 6 waveforms into the EUT and active Active AC Power PIN Synchronization up to 800Hz. It is similar in function to its competitor, the Solar Electronics 2654.
This Military & Avionics EMC Test Equipment is user-friendly with a reduced setup time with single generator and coupler to complete testing and can be operated via front panel or software. It includes powered PIN phase sync 90° positive polarity 270° negative polarity and separate sync input for additional plug-in modules. The direct connection for Ground Injection testing includes a fuse to protect against EUT overcurrent.
The AVI3000 is the first System to fully integrate all waveforms from RTCA DO-160 Sec.22 and MIL-STD-461 CS117 level 1 waveforms 1, 2, 3, 4, 5A, and 6. This product is designed to test in accordance with Military and Aviation standards and include injection probes, calibration adapters and attenuators. The software associated with the product allows for easy manipulation to ensure that testing criteria are met. The AVI3000 is a compact and resourceful solution to indirect lightning testing needs
