9.5 Option –413: IEC 61000-4-13 Interharmonics Test
9.5.1 General
The IEC413 option can perform IEC 61000-4 section 13 Harmonics and
interharmonics low frequency immunity tests. The tests are based on IEC
61000-4-13:2002-03, First Edition. It is assumed that the user has a copy of
the test standard available. This manual section only covers operation of the –
413 option from the front-panel of the MX Series power source.
Note 1: The initial release of the –413 option for the MX Series power sources
was based on a draft version (CDV) of the IEC 61000-4-13 standard. Minor
changes were made between the CDV draft and the final released version.
Units with firmware revision 0.31 or higher conform to the official released IEC
standard. Units with older firmware conform to the draft version. A firmware
upgrade can be ordered through AMETEK Programmable Power’s support
department by contacting techsupport.ppd@ametek.com
and requesting part
number CIC637. Provide the model and serial number of the unit (master unit
in multi-box systems) to ensure the correct firmware is provided. The firmware
revision is displayed on the LCD screen immediately after power up for a few
seconds. It can also be queried over the bus using the “*IDN?” command.
Where relevant, the requirement for the correct firmware revision to obtain
specific test modes is indicated in this manual.
Note 2: The –413 option is only available on MX45-3Pi Series AC power
sources, not MX45-1 or MX45-3 Series as it requires arbitrary waveform
capability.
9.5.2 Initial Setup
The user must set the operating voltage and close the output relay prior to the
start of test. The following set of parameters must be set before the start of
test.
• Frequency to 50 or 60 Hz.
• Voltage mode to AC.
• Waveform to sine wave.
9.5.3 Tests Performed
The IEC1000-4-13 test consists of several types of tests. These tests can be
run individually or in sequence (ALL). The following tests are available:
• Harmonic combination test flat curve and over swing.
• Sweep in frequency and resonance frequency detection.
• Individual harmonics and interharmonics.
• Meister curve test (Firmware revision 0.31 or higher required)
