Ametek RS90-3Pi - Table 9-16: Abnormal Voltage Surge

User Manual AMETEK Programmable Power
RS Series 182
This test applies for category B equipment.
This test will change the output voltage to the voltage minimum for one minute. The voltage will
decay linearly to zero voltage in a ten minute period before returning to its nominal voltage.
VOLT DROP
This test will change the output to 12V from 28V or to 6V from 14V for seven seconds. The
output voltage will return to nominal voltage after seven seconds.
VOLT SURGE
This test will produce voltage surge defined by Table 9-16. This test will be repeated three times
with ten seconds intervals. The voltage values are halved for 14.0V category B equipment.

9.3.1.6.3 Emergency Test
The Emergency test is selected from the DO-160 DC Main Menu. This test will set the output
voltage to 18V for 28V equipment and to 9V for 14V equipment. The test will last for 30 minutes.
The ← key (backspace) will terminate the test at any time.
