Solar 8282-1 Transient Pulse Generator
The Solar 8282-1 Transient Pulse Generator is a cutting-edge device specifically engineered for conducted spike susceptibility tests, perfect for usage in screen rooms. This robust generator meets the stringent criteria outlined in military specifications such as MIL-STD-461B and MIL-STD-461C, ensuring reliability and precision in electromagnetic interference (EMI) testing.
Key Features
- Adjustable Spike Durations: Choose from three selectable durations of 0.15 µS, 5.0 µS, and 10.0 µS to accommodate various test requirements.
- Peak Voltage Output: Deliver up to 600 volts peak amplitude for each spike duration into a 5.0 ohm load, ensuring optimal test conditions.
- Precise Pulse Positioning: The ability to adjust the pulse position from 0° to 360° on 50 Hz, 60 Hz, or 400 Hz power lines facilitates targeted transient injection.
- Pulse Repetition Rate: Adjustable manually from 0.5 to 50 p.p.s., allowing for flexible testing scenarios.
- Single Spike Feature: Enables a controlled isolation of transient effects with a simple pushbutton for manual triggering.
- External Sync Operation: Offers remote triggering capabilities for synchronizing pulse injection with the DUT (Device Under Test).
Specifications
- Spike Durations: Selectable at 0.15 µS, 5.0 µS, and 10.0 µS (+/-20%) into a 5.0 ohm resistive load.
- Internal Impedance: Less than 5.0 ohms for 0.15 µS, less than 2.0 ohms for 5.0 µS, and less than 1.0 ohm for 10.0 µS ensures low source impedance.
- Pulses with Ringing Characteristics: Pulse shape mirrors Figure 19 from MIL-STD-462 when interconnected with non-inductive loads.
- Amplitude Display: Clear visibility of peak amplitude through an analog LED panel meter, displaying output as it would be into a 5.0 ohm load.
- Power Handling: Manages up to 50 amperes of current during series injection mode across power frequencies.
- Power Requirements: Operates at 115 volts 60 Hz, consuming 3.0 amperes (also available at 230 volts 50 Hz, 1.5 amperes).
Performance Versatility
The Solar 8282-1 can be configured for non-synchronous injection with a repetition rate adaptable up to 50 p.p.s. for the 0.15 µS spike and escalated to 1000 p.p.s. for the 5.0 and 10.0 µS spikes, allowing it to synchronize effectively with other functions within the equipment being tested.
Connector Options
Equipped with a rear panel connector, the Solar 8282-1 allows for remote triggering of the single spike feature, enhancing its functionality in practical testing environments. Depending on your requirement, it can be triggered using a 24 volts d.c. source or a square wave input for precise operation.
