RS Series    172 
Voltage  1  122  122  122  122 
3  120.5  120.5  120.5  120.5 
Frequency    420  410  650  800 
Table 9-2: Normal Voltage and Frequency Maximum 
 
This test will set the voltage and frequency to levels defined by Table 9-1.  The test will last for 30 
minutes.  The test will be repeated for the Group 2 and 3 using the Voltage setting from Table 9-2 
and the frequency from Table 9-1.  The  ← key (backspace) will terminate the test at any time. 
VOLT FREQ MAX 
This test will set the voltage and frequency to levels defined by Table 9-2.  The test will last for 30 
minutes. The test will be repeated for the EURO standard using the Voltage setting from  
Table 9-1 and the frequency from Table 9-2.  The CLR Key in local operation will terminate the test 
at any time.  Group execute trigger will terminate the test remotely.  The unselected phases will 
remain at 115 volts.  The  ← key (backspace) will terminate the test at any time. 
VOLT UNBALANCE 
Standard/Group  RTCA  Group1  Group2  Group3 
Voltage offset  6  6  6  9 
Frequency  400  400  360/650  360/800 
Table 9-3: Normal Voltage Unbalance 
This test will change the output voltage for each phase from 115 volts to 115V + offset.  Refer to 
Table 9-3 for the offset value and the Frequency.  The test will last 30 minutes.  The test will be 
repeated for a second Frequency if applicable.  The test can be terminated at any time.  
The  ← key will terminate the test at any time. 
WAVEFORM DISTORTION 
This test will generate a 5% THD voltage distortion on the output voltage waveform.  The 
distortion is generated by using a clipped sine wave.  The test will last for 30 minutes. The  ← 
key  (backspace) will terminate the test at any time. 
VOLTAGE MODULATION 
This test requires a numeric value entry equal to the modulation rate in Hz.  This entry value 
must be between 1 Hz and 200 Hz.  The amplitude modulation is calculated based on the 
modulation rate as defined in Figure 9-4.  This test will last for 2 minutes.
