1.00 20 / 50
SVP CL 1700
Inrush current measurement for power fail generators
Calibration box 1700uF for inrush current verification
6.2. Installation put in service
This chapter includes a checklist with steps that should be taken before the generator is switched on and put into operation.
6.3. Safety instructions for installation and initial installation
National regulations in installation and operation of electrical equipment must be respected.
CAUTION
The compact NX / NSG 3000A test system is not suitable for use in an explosive atmosphere.
CAUTION
Connect the EUT only after the initial system setup has finished.
6.3.1. Qualifications of the staff
Knowledge of electrical engineering and electromagnetic compatibility is required to install the unit. The national regulations
for installation of electrical equipment as well as the safety at work of electrical equipment must be known to the user.
6.3.2. Installation
The test system conforms to protection class 1. Local installation regulations must be respected to ensure the safe flow of
leakage currents.
CAUTION
Operation without a ground connection is forbidden!
Two independent ground connections are necessary - one for the test system and one for the EUT. These must be connected
back to the local permanent installation or to a fixed, permanent ground conductor.
Operate the equipment only in dry surroundings. Any condensation that occurs must be allowed to evaporate before putting
the equipment into operation. Do not exceed the permissible ambient temperature or humidity levels. Use only officially
approved connectors and accessory items.
Ensure that a reliable return path for the interference current is provided between the EUT and the generator. The ground
reference plane and the ground connections to the instruments, as described in the relevant test standards, serve this
purpose well.
The test system may only be opened by a qualified specialist upon specific instruction given by the manufacturer. The
equipment works, on principle, with two independent power supplies, one for the generator and one for the EUT. The
generator must be disconnected from both sources before any modifications to the test setup are undertaken. Besides the
mains connections themselves, certain components also operate at high voltages, and are not provided with any form of extra
protection against accidental contact.
The system complies with the safety requirements of IEC/EN 61010-1 (Safety requirements for electrical equipment for
measurement, control and laboratory use).
It is the user’s responsibility to ensure that the test rig does not emit excessive electromagnetic interference (EMI) that might
affect other equipment. The test system itself does not produce any excessive radiation; however, the injection of interference
pulses into the EUT can result in the device and/or its associated cables radiating EMI. To avoid radiating unwanted
interference the standards organizations recommend that the test setup be located in a Faraday cage.
Since the purpose of the test system is to produce interference signals for interference immunity testing, the requirements in
the IEC/EN 61000 series concerning limiting the radiated EMI can only be complied with by operating the test system inside a
