F2 LCD backlighting
With the use of F2 the backlighting can be switched on or off.
Additionally the Auto Off function can be programmed to switch off the backlighting after a defined time that the
equipment has not been in operation (1 - 30minBecause of the limited lifetime of LCD displays, approx. 10,000h
this function should always be activated.

F3 Interfaces
This menu will help the user to define the status of the integrated serial and parallel interfaces, e.g. the baud rate
of the RS 232 or the address of the IEEE interface.

F4 Beep
F1 is the selector for the keyboard beeper ON/OFF mode. (Short beep at every keyboard hit)
F3 is the selector for the countdown-beeper ON/OFF mode. (Short beep before surge pulse releasing )
To indicate that a running test is finished the beeper sounds always 3 times (not changeable).

F6 Set voltage
For control of an external power supply source an analogue control voltage can be programmed (0-10V dc).
The operator can specify the following parameters:
F1: Max. variac voltage V [ V ] Maximal output voltage at 100% position of the external motor variac or dc
controlled voltage source. The analogue reference value for the max. voltage is 10V.
F2: Mains supply voltage V [ V ] of the device under test. This voltage shall be specified by the operator and
depends on the type of equipment under test. The variac normally is automatically set to this output voltage.
F3: Default channel. The operator select the default channel PF1 or PF2 from which the EUT is powered.

F7 Magnetic field correction factors

F1 : Coil factor Af A/m Range [ 0.20...9.99 step 0.01 ]
F2 : Transformer factor Tf A/V Range [ 0.020...9.999 step 0.001 ]
F3 : Impedance factor If A/V Range [ 0.20...1.00 step 0.01 ]
These values are delivered together with the necessary options to conducted magnetic field testing.
- Coil factor depends on the type of antenna which is used for the test.
- Transformer factor depends on the type of transformer which is used for the test.
- Impedance factor depends on the type of surge generator which is used for the test. A generator with a
source impedance of 2 needs an impedance factor of approx. If = 0.5

4.6. Setup procedure for Set voltage

The UCS 500 is able to control an external voltage source. The output voltage is a 0-10V analogue dc signal.
The 10V level corresponds to the max. output voltage of the connected voltage source. For the correct setting it
is necessary to know the max. output voltage of the source. For setting for ac or dc source the same procedure is
necessary.

Setup for adjust the external voltage variac to the UCS 500Nx

The voltage setting is a regulating procedure where one

winding of the motor-variac is approx. 1.9V. Additionally
the control needs some mechanical tolerance for stop
the step motor. Therefore the selected voltage is
normally in a tolerance of 3V
The motor-variac control has an internal deadband
where the voltage will not be adjusted.

The following procedure will guide the user through the Set Voltage procedure.
The setting for Umax and Un are listed in the boxes below. After each setting the user has to press the ESC
button for make the setting.

Step Umax. Un CH Remarks

A -- -- PF2 Set the UCS 500 to PF2 mode for measure the variable voltage

B 100 100 PF2 The variac moves to his max. voltage. ( 10V dc at the 0-10V output)
Read Umax. voltage from the voltmeter. ( MV2616 approx. 257V)
C Umax 230 PF2 Enter Umax. and set Un to 230V ( 115V)

D Umax 100 PF2 Check the 100V at the voltmeter. Tolerance 3V

E Umax 0 PF2 Check the 0V at the voltmeter. Tolerance < 2V

F Umax 100 PF2 Check the 100V at the voltmeter. Tolerance 3V

G Umax 230 PF2 Check the 230V at the voltmeter. Tolerance 3V

If the output voltage is not inside the tolerance or you like to make a better adjustment:
- Change the Umax voltage and restart the check procedure from step C to G.

7. Maintenance setup and service

7.1. General
The generator is absolutely maintenance-free by using a solid state semiconductor switch to generate transients

7.2. Test set- up

When setting up the test national and international regulations

regarding human safety have to be guaranteed.
It is recommended to connect the simulator to the ground reference
plane of the test set-up.
The generators of the series 500, UCS, VCS, CSS, TSS and CNI, can
be linked together to a fully automotive test set-up.
The set-up communicates via the IEEE / GPIB bus and is controlled by
iec.control software. For setting up the system see the following
figures:
Each generator can be operated individual as a single equipment.

7.3. Fuse for the EUT power supply

The EM Test pulse generators have no built in fuse for the EUT power supply. It is in the scope of responsibility
of the user to protect the EUT external for the rated current.

The design of the external fuse must be match the following rules:
- fuse dimension must be equal or smaller than the rated EUT current of the connected test
generator
- fuse must be designed for protect the connected EUT device under test in malfunction

Example of external fuse

Fuse in the building is designed for

32A. A Fuse box with 16A fuse
protection is installed between the
building supply and the test
generator.
Test generator and EUT are now
fused for 16A rated current

Example
16A protection with a 100A
installation with a 3-phase fuse box.
The user has protected his
Equipment Under Test with this
additional fuse box for a rated current
of 16A.

7.4. Insulating- or external transformator for EUT power supply

The recommended power of an external transformer must be > 500VA. The reason is the
capacitive current of the internal filter capacitors inside the UCS 500N5 / N7.

7.5. Calibration and verification

7.5.1. Factory calibration
Every EM TEST generator is entirely checked and calibrated as per international standard regulations before
delivery. A calibration certificate is issued and delivered along with a list of the equipment used for the calibration
proving the traceability of the measuring equipment. All auxiliary equipment and accessories are checked to our
internal manufacturer guidelines.
The calibration certificate and the certificate of compliance (if available) show the date of calibration.
The EM Test equipment are calibrated in the factory and marked with a calibration
mark. The used measuring instruments are traceable to the Swiss Federal Office of
Metrology.
The calibration date is marked. The validity of the calibration is to the responsibility
of the user‟s quality system. Neither the certificate of calibration nor the
corresponding label mark any due date for re-calibration. Example: Calibration mark

7.5.2. Guideline to determine the calibration period of EM Test instrumentation

Our International Service Departments and our QA Manager are frequently asked about the calibration interval of
EM TEST equipment.
EM TEST doesn‟t know each customer‟s Quality Assurance Policy nor do we know how often the equipment is
used and what kind of tests are performed during the life cycle of a test equipment. Only the customer knows all
the details and therefore the customer needs to specify the calibration interval for his test equipment.
In reply to all these questions we like to approach this issue as follows :
EM TEST make use of a solid state semiconductor switch technique to generate high voltage transients. A
precious advantage of this technique is the absolute lack of periodical maintenance effort. In consequence
thereof a useful calibration period has to be defined based on two criteria :
- The first one is the customer‟s Quality Assurance Policy. Any existent internal regulation has to be applied at
highest priority. In the absence of such internal regulation the utilization rate of the test equipment has to be
taken into consideration.

- Based on the experience and observation collected over the years EM TEST recommend a calibration
interval of 1 year for frequently used equipment. A 2-years calibration interval is considered sufficient for
rarely used test generators in order to assure proper performance and compliance to the standard
specifications.

7.5.3. Calibration of Accessories made by passive components only:

Passive components do not change their technical specification during storage. Consequently the measured
values and the plots stay valid throughout the storage time. The date of shipment shall be considered as the date
of calibration.

7.5.4. Periodically In-house verification

Please refer to the corresponding standard before carrying out a calibration or verification. The standard
describes the procedure, the tolerances and the necessary auxiliary means. Suitable calibration adapters are
needed. To compare the verification results, EM Test suggests to refer to the waveshape and values of the
original calibration certificate.
All calibrations and verifications are always done without mains supply voltage connected to the coupling network
input.

Before starting the calibration or verification

remove the EUT Mains Supply
Danger from the generator and from the coupling network

8.2. Accessories and options

 ESA Adapter for adapt different power mains connectors

As accessories adapters to different power mains connectors are part of the
delivery of EM TEST surge generators. E.g. these are adaptors for Schuko - US
- AUS - UK power mains connectors.
Most of these commercially available power mains sockets can not withstand
surge voltages higher than 4000V. Therefore each of these EM TEST adaptors
are labeled to be used up to 4000V maximum.
In case that the EM TEST surge generator can generate higher surge voltages
than 4000V a sparkover at the power mains socket may occur.
Customers shall be aware of this matter and shall not use higher voltages than
labeled on the adapter.
For testing higher voltages it is necessary to use high voltage cables with
sufficient isolation and safety banana connectors connected direct to the
generator output plugs (L-N-PE).

9. EFT Burst as per IEC 61000-4-4

Burst Module 5/50ns

If the user reduces the test voltage in Quick Start or in the Manual Standard Test Routine, the
storage capacitor will be discharged only by the burst pulses. The result is a higher test
voltage on the EUT than indicated on the display until the storage capacitor is discharged to the
preselected value.
If the voltage reduction is several 100V the discharge time to the correct test voltage can be
Warning some seconds. The discharge time depends on the repetition rate tr and the duration td of the
burst pulse.
Pressing STOP / START will discharge the storage capacitor over the discharge resistor
immediately. After the START the test will continue with the correct voltage level.

Customized test routines
The software controls user test routines according to the specification of the user. All limitations are the same as
defined under Quick Start.
Synchronized with a fixed phase angle
The burst is triggered with respect to the phase angle of the
power supply connected to the Sync input at the rear panel
of the equipment. The power supply must be an AC voltage
with a nominal frequency of 16 to 500Hz. The phase must
be connected to L. This can be checked by the lamp
connected to the L input.

Random burst release

No repetition rate is selected. The single burst will be
triggered by statistics in the limits of 20 to 2000ms as time
between two bursts. All limitations are the same as defined
under Quick Start.

Voltage change after T by V The test voltage is increased

from V1 to V2 by steps of V after the defined test time T. All
limitations are the same as defined under Quick Start. The
limitation of the max. generated number of spikes is related
to the higher voltage of V1 or V2.

Frequency sweep in one single burst

During one single burst the frequency sweeps from f1 to f2. tr. >= 100 ms
For this function the following limitations have to be f1 <= f2
respected: td >= 5.0 ms
td >= 5 / f1
tr. -td >= 50 ms
Note: The maximum value for frequency, burst duration td and voltage are in dependence of each other and therefore limited by the
generator performance. The practical limits of the UCS500N7 are 20kHz for f2 and 50ms for the burst duration td. The limits of the
generator model UCS 500N5 are approx. 10 times higher.

Frequency sweep with a constant pulse numbers

The burst duration is increased from td1 to td2 by steps of 
td after the defined test time T. All limitations are the same
as defined under Quick Start. The limitation of the max.
generated number of spikes is related to the higher duration
of td1 or td2.

Frequency sweep with a constant duration after T by f

The spike frequency is increased from f1 to f2 by steps of f
after the defined test time T. All limitations are the same as
defined under Quick Start. The limitation of the max.
generated number of spikes is related to the higher
frequency of f1 or f2.

Polarity change after T

The polarity will be changed from + to - after the defined test
time T.

9.2. Burst generation

Discharge switch:
The discharge switch is a highly reproducible semiconductor switch. Spike frequencies up to 1000kHz are by a
factor of 10 higher than recommended in the actual EFT standards. This means of course that also the pulse
energy would be 10 times higher. This is not generally possible for the high voltage switch. Therefore the
following limitation protects the pulse forming circuit against overload:

9.3. Test level with Burst as per IEC 61000-4-4 Ed.2.

Burst generators, which the specifications in accordance with. IEC 61000-4-4 Ed2: 2004 fulfills, have a limitation
of the maximum output voltage. The efficiency of the burst pulses decreases with the numbers of couplings.
Therefore the maximum test level is limited by the number of coupling on several lines.

- filter the interference pulses in the direction to the power supply;
- protect other systems that are connected to the same power supply and
- realize a high impedance of the power supply, e.g. battery supply.

9.4.1. Coupling/decoupling network for ac/dc power lines

The coupling network has to couple the interference pulses to the lines of a power supply system (AC or DC). As
coupling devices capacitors of sufficient strength and bandwidth shall be used according to IEC 61000-4-4.

- Normal Mode Line => GND

Neutral => GND
- Common Mode Line + Neutral => GND
- Protective Earth PE The PE of the EUT is decoupled from the power supply side by a choke. The
interference source is coupled directly to the PE of the EUT.

The decoupling part of the coupling network has two purposes:

- to filter the interference pulses in the direction of the power supply side;
- to protect other systems that are connected to the same power supply and
- to realize a high impedance of the power supply, e.g. battery supply.

The coupling on signal lines can usually not be effected capacitively without interfering with the signal flow. It is
often impossible to contact the required circuit (direct), e. g. coaxial or shielded cables. In this case the coupling
is realized with the capacitive coupling clamp. The interference simulator can be connected on both sides of the
coupling clamp.

Attention:
The actual published IEC 61000-4-4 (1995) requires all lines to be tested individually.
The new draft revision IEC 61000-4-4 edition 2 (2004) requires the Common Mode coupling only. This means all
lines simultaneously to ground.

Operating Manual V 5.16 41 / 88

EM TEST UCS 500 Series

9.4.2. Capacitive coupling clamp

- The coupling clamp is not matched by 50 ohm. If the clamp is matched there exists an additional magnetic
coupling, which may cause completely different test results.
- The clamp should be placed in a distance of 0.5m to the equipment under test. When using shorter distances,
the EUT may be influenced by radiation.
- If the EUT is built up by two different equipment, the test should be conducted on each single equipment with
the required distance.

9.5. Burst Test Setup

- The test generator and the coupling network should be connected to the reference ground plane (acc. to high
frequency requirements).
- The equipment under test must be isolated from the reference ground plane. The distance should be 10cm.
Being part of the EUT, these requirements are also recommended for all connected cables. The EUT should
only be grounded if this is recommended by the installation guideline. For safety reasons, the test without any
ground connection should be conducted as well (at 100MHz 1m ground cable has an impedance of about 600
ohm)
- Whenever possible the test set-up and the cabling should always be the same; e.g. for testing power lines it
would be possible to fix the cables on the test table for all tests in the same way.
- Lines under test and all other lines should be decoupled strictly.

10. Surge Immunity as per IEC 61000-4-5

Surge Module 1.2/50s – 8/20s

The internal coupling network is designed for mains frequency 50Hz / 60Hz.
When L – N coupling is selected an additional current of approx. 1.5A flows, caused by the
18F coupling capacitor and the pulse forming network. A similar current appears during the
couplings to PE.
Tests with 400 Hz mains frequency destroy the coupling network. An external coupling
WARNING network is recommended with inductors and capacitors matched to the 400Hz mains frequency.

The discharge switch is a highly reproducible semiconductor switch.

10.3. Coupling/decoupling network

The coupling network has to couple the interference pulses to the lines of a power supply system (AC or DC).
Capacitive coupling is the specified coupling mode for surge testing.

10.3.1. Coupling to ac/dc power supply lines

The surge generator UCS 500 has an integrated coupling network in accordance with IEC 61000-4-5. It must be
possible to test with different coupling modes:
Line  GND or (source impedance is 12)
Neutral  GND or (source impedance is 12)
L+N  GND or (source impedance is 12)
Line  Neutral (source impedance is 2)

Coupling Line to Line Coupling Line to Earth

The release of the surge pulses is mostly related to a certain phase angle.
The surge pulses are synchronized to the input signal at the rear Sync-connector.

Attention: The decoupling part of the coupling/decoupling network includes some capacitors for filtering of 20F
related tp protective earth (chassis of the generator). This is to be conform with the requirement of IEC 61000-4-5
concerning attenuation of the surge transients in direction to the power mains supply input of the CDN.
As consequence there will exist an increased current to PE (protective earth) which might be hazardous to the
operator in case of a failure or wrong installation. Therefore it is very important to take the following points into
account before setting the generator into full operation.:

1. Due to this increased current into the PE system no earth fault current protectors can be used within a
surge testing area.

2. As consequence the surge generator shall be connected always to Protective Earth, even if no test is
conducted.
 via plugged in power mains supply cable including the PE wire!!!!!!
 via plugged in EUT power mains supply at the rear side of the generator, including the PE wire !!!!
 via Ground Reference Connector, screwed to the chassis of the generator.

These measures result in double safety in case of a fault

10.4. Test set-up

According to the specifications of IEC 61000-4-5, the surge generator has a source impedance of 12ohm when
the simulator is coupled between the lines and protective earth.
This will activate fault current detectors or protectors which may be installed in the laboratory.
Therefore it is important
- not to disconnect the surge simulator form protective earth (power cable)
- to have an installation where the simulator is connected via its ground reference connector to earth

11.3. The Power Fail Test

The power fail simulator operates in the following mode:

PF1: The voltage supply at channel PF1 will be interrupted for the preselected time T1.
PF2: The voltage supply at channel PF2 will be interrupted for the preselected time T1.

U: Channels PF1 and PF2 are supplied with different voltages; e.g.
channel PF1 with nominal voltage, channel PF2 with 15% under-
voltage.
- channel PF1 is switched off for the preselected time T1.
- channel PF2 is switched on for T1.

LED
Two LED‟s mounted on the front panel show if a channels is active or not. The LED of an
active channel is lighted. During mode U the LED display switches from one channel to the
other.
Voltage interference
In order to accelerate the test procedure the voltage interference may be generated
repetitively. In the operating mode „AUTO“ the events are released at a preselected interval
time.
Power switches
The power unit of the simulator consists of two electronic power switches S1 and S2. The two
separated input channels PF1 and PF2 are connected to each other at the front panel of the
simulator via S1 and S2.

Input channels
The input channels PF1 and PF2 are located at the rear part of the equipment. Attention has to be given to the
following:

1. The phase shall be connected correctly. When putting into operation check the lines with a phase
tester or with the incorporated LED phase.
2. Phase must be set on L, neutral must be set on N.
3. This applies to both channels. If during installation phase and neutral is changed, the operator will
cause a short-circuit at the input plug of the channel.
4. The neutral of both channels is connected internally and directly leads to the output.
5. The power switches can bear no more than a voltage of 350Veff.
6. If isolating transformers are used special care shall be taken to have both channels in phase.
Otherwise too high voltages, in difference mode, may occur and destroy the internal protection
devices (varistors).

11.4. Overcurrent

Power switches
The power switches are electronically
protected against overload and short-
circuits. The nominal current of the
switches is 25A.
Special protection requirements of the
EUT must be separately assured by the
user.
Inrush currents of  = 500A are permitted.
To avoid higher inrush currents of the
EUT an electronic control limiting the
inrush current is incorporated in the
device. Correct phase relation between PF1 and PF2

Over-voltage generated by connecting or disconnecting additional loads will be limited internally by varistors in
parallel to the electronic switch.

11.5. The Power Fail Test

The generator type UCS 500N5/M7 simulates the following interference :
- Voltage dips
- Voltage interruptions
- Voltage variations
- Inverse

11.5.1. Voltage Interruptions

Depending on the preselected test parameters at the front panel of the simulator the power supply for the EUT is
interrupted for a certain time and at a certain phase angle (AC power supplies).
The power supply for the EUT is connected at the rear part of the
simulator to channel PF1.
The power supply may be taken directly from the mains power
supply or from a separate voltage source. Mostly used for this
tests are motor driven variacs
Power fail tests are normally carried out at a nominal voltage and
at maximum tolerance under-voltage.
The nominal voltage may be connected to PF1 and the reduced
dip voltage to PF2.

The power fail test may be carried out in various operating modes:
High impedance interruptions
With U mode the EUT supply is interrupted by the electronic
switch. The PF2 input is not connected. The EUT must discharge
itself internally.

Low impedance interruptions

The EUT supply is connected to PF1. The channel PF2 is short-
circuited (L-N). The EUT supply is disconnected by the electronic
switch of PF1 and the EUT will be discharged into a low
impedance via the electronic switch of PF2

Operating Manual V 5.16 65 / 88

EM TEST UCS 500 Series

11.5.2. Voltage dips, voltage variations

Depending on the preselected test parameters, the test voltage is changed to a higher or to a lower value for a
certain duration and at a certain phase angle.

Voltage variations are normally related to the nominal value of the supply voltage. Therefore two different variacs
shall be connected at the rear side of the simulator.
- PF1  Nominal voltage
- PF2  Under- / overvoltage
The operation mode U shall be preselected. The voltage
variation is realized by switching the power supply from channel
PF1 to channel PF2.
If a motor driven variac is available, it is also possible to drive the
source by an analogue voltage 0 - 10V. This control voltage is
available at the coaxial output at the rear part of the simulator

The control voltage is to be set via the operator menu or the interfaces of the PFS. A complete user software to
drive ramps and functions is also available

11.6. DC Power networks

Basically there is no difference in the operation of the equipment between AC and DC power supplies. The only
point the user should take care of are the grounding conditions.
The voltmeter, the "MONITOR" output and the LED are related to protective earth or to the simulator‟s chassis,
respectively. Therefore these instruments can be used to check line or neutral and to measure at the output
CRO U while the test procedure is running.
It results for the DC power supply operation:

- If it is possible to ground the "MINUS" pole of the DC supply, from the EUT point of view, the blue output plug
(minus) should be connected to the green/yellow plug.

- By this way the power supply source connected at the rear side of the simulator might be grounded.

 All measuring facilities are available if

- it is not possible to ground the "MINUS" pole and therefore the voltmeter cannot indicate the DC voltage.
- the phase indication led at the EUT supply input are not glowing
- there is no signal at the "CRO U" output.

11.7. Test setup and accessories

11.7.1. Transformer type V4780

The transformer shall be used to generate under-voltages in ac power supply systems. According to the IEC 61000-
4-11 and the EN 50081-2 voltage dips shall be generated as shown in fig. below. Different test levels are
recommended

11.7.1.1. Voltage interruptions ( DIP )

Voltage interruptions will cause a reduction of the power supply voltage for a certain period of time. Three different
test levels are required:
- Voltage dip by 100% to 0% of the nominal voltage for 10ms or. ½ period
- Voltage dip by 100% to 0% of the nominal voltage for 20ms respectively 1 period
- Voltage dip by 60% to 40% of the nominal voltage for 200ms respectively 10 periods
- Voltage dip by 30% to 70% of the nominal voltage for 500ms respectively 25 periods
- Voltage dip by 20% to 80% of the nominal voltage for 5000ms respectively 250 periods

11.7.1.3. Control V4780 S2

The V4780 S2 is controlled through the analogue input ( 0...10Vdc ). The control circuit switches to the related
tap, 40%, 70% or 80%, proportional to the applied dc reference voltage ( 0...10V dc ) to the output PF2.
Is the reference dc voltage out of the tolerance ( 0.25V), the control will not switch to any tap to the PF2 output.
Operating with ramps the control circuit will not select a tap, if the ramp ( 0-100% ) is shorter than approx. 4s.
Programming longer ramps, each tap will switch on and off when the reference is in the valid range.

Settings on UCS for V4780 S2
The UCS must be matched to the 0-10V input of the V4780. Therefore a V4780 must be configured as a motor
variac. For V and Vn must set to the same value which is the value of the voltage of your power supply.

11.7.2. Motor variac type MV 2616

The motor variac can be used to simulate power supply failures as under-voltages, voltage interruptions and voltage
variations. The basic standard IEC 61000-4-11 and the generic standard EN 50081-2 are specifying these
phenomena.

11.7.2.1. Voltage dips / interruptions

Voltage interruptions will cause a reduction of the power supply voltage for a certain period of time. Three different
test levels are required:
- Voltage dip by 100% to 0% of the nominal voltage for 10ms or. ½ period
- Voltage dip by 100% to 0% of the nominal voltage for 20ms respectively 1 period

Standard voltage dips Connection diagram MV2616

The unit has to be connected at the rear part of the equipment. For connection safety laboratory cables shall be used.

11.7.2.2. Voltage variation

Additionally it is possible to drive certain functions of variation, which also
are required in IEC 61000-4-11. These functions can easily be
programmed within the simulators itself or within the related windows
software ISMIEC
V2 Test level [ %U1]: 40%, 0%
tf Time for decreasing voltage [sec] 2 ± 20%
t1 Time at retained voltage [sec] 1 ± 20%
tr Time for increasing [sec] 2 ± 20%

For new FDIS IEC 61000-4-11 (2004) use a new procedure for voltage
variation , who simulate a voltage dip during a motor start.
The motor variac will be set previously to the voltage V2. The switch to PF2
happens in the UCS 500. Then the motor variac increase the voltage
controlled by the UCS. After ti the voltage change back to PF1

The speed of the voltage variation depends on the max. speed of the
motorvariac and the control setting of the integral action controller.
The behavior can be influenced by the parameter Vnominal. Setting in the
setup menu Setup / F5 Voltage setting.
The user can optimize his setting for the test.
Vn = Vmax of motorvariac Red curve the voltage rising is too fast.
Vn = 110% of Vnominal Green curve optimum setting

12.2. Ring wave pulse generation

Discharge switch:
The discharge switch is a highly reproducible semiconductor switch.
12.3. Coupling/decoupling network
The coupling network has to couple the interference pulses to the lines of a power supply system (AC or DC).
Capacitive coupling is the specified coupling mode for surge testing.

12.3.1. Coupling to ac/dc power supply lines

The surge generator UCS 500 has an integrated coupling network in accordance with IEC 61000-4-12. It must be
possible to test with different coupling modes:
Line  GND or
Neutral  GND or
L+N  GND or
Line  Neutral

Coupling Line to Line Coupling Line to Earth

The release of the surge pulses is mostly related to a certain phase angle.
The surge pulses are synchronized to the input signal at the rear Sync-connector.

Attention: The decoupling part of the coupling/decoupling network includes some capacitors for filtering of 20F
related tp protective earth (chassis of the generator). This is to be conform with the requirement of IEC 61000-4-5
concerning attenuation of the surge transients in direction to the power mains supply input of the CDN.
As consequence there will exist an increased current to PE (protective earth) which might be hazardous to the
operator in case of a failure or wrong installation. Therefore it is very important to take the following points into
account before setting the generator into full operation.:
12.4. Test set-up
According to the specifications of IEC 61000-4-12, the ring wave generator has a source impedance of 12 ohm
when the simulator is coupled between the lines and protective earth.
Therefore it is important
- not to disconnect the surge simulator form protective earth (power cable)
- to have an installation where the simulator is connected via its ground reference connector to earth

1. Due to this increased current into the PE system no earth fault current protectors can be used within
a surge testing area.
2. As consequence the surge generator shall be connected always to Protective Earth, even if no test is
conducted.

13.5.1. Waveshape Definitions according IEC 61000-4-5

Definition of Voltage Front Time

The voltage front time is calculated by measuring the duration between 30% and 90% (tr) of the maximum pulse
amplitude and multiplying that value by 1.67
Tf = tr30%-90% x 1.67

Definition of Current Front Time

The current front time is calculated by measuring the duration between 10% and 90% (tr) of the maximum pulse
amplitude and multiplying that value by 1.25
Tf = tr10%-90% x 1.25

Definition of Decay Time

The decay time is calculated by measuring the time from the initial rise of the waveform to the point where it
decays to 50% of the maximum value. Because the time of the initial rise is difficult to measure the decay time
can be calculated by adding the time between 50% of the amplitude of rising to 50% of the amplitude of decaying
and 50% of the front time as defined before.
Td = td50%-50% + Tr/2

14.7. USB interface

USB interface “USB B” connector. For data transfer a USB interface is available. The internal RS 232
interface is converted to USB standard. Therefore the user must set the same baud rate in the device and
control software.
Using the USB interface the user can have EMC problems during burst tests. Therefore a high quality USB
cable ( USB 2.0 standard) must be used.

The experience shows that usually the computer USB port is disturbed by interference‟s. The ferrite FER-
USB reduces additional the interferences on the USB cable.

If there are still interferences, the whole test set-up with the wiring has to be reconsidered.

USB cable setup

The USB cable must be above ground with a
distance of at least 10 cm. Otherwise the cable can
be an antenna for the common mode burst pulses
and the communication may be influenced.
EM test provides a suitable ferrite as accessories
under the name UBS FER.
Best results are reached with 8 turns.
