IEC Transient Generators
HV TECHNOLOGIES, Inc. has 25+ years of experience with transient and conducted immunity test equipment. We have been partnered with EMC Partner for almost 20 years to provide the highest quality transient test equipment to the North American market. EMC Partner has grown to become one of the leading players in the design and manufacture of transient test equipment.
Conducted & Radiated RF Immunity
Radiated immunity testing involves subjecting the equipment under test (EUT) to strong radiated electromagnetic fields. Real-world electromagnetic disturbance sources come from a wide range of sources, including cell phones and motors to name a few. The EUT must continue to operate normally and cannot show any signs of susceptibility when subjected to these electromagnetic fields. The electromagnetic fields are generated by feeding a calibrated signal into a broadband RF power amplifier. The output of the amplifier is then connected to an antenna which produces the radiated electric field. The basic international standard which defines the radiated immunity test requirements is IEC 61000-4-3.
Conducted RF is when radio frequency disturbances are conducted onto cables by capacitive or inductive means. Conducted RF Immunity testing involves subjecting the equipment under test (EUT) to RF disturbances through cables to check for any signs of susceptibility. The basic international standard which defines the conducted RF test requirements is IEC 61000-4-6.
