EFT 500N5 series - EFT/Burst tester

The EFT 500N5 series are the state-of-the-art EFT/Burst testers with a built-in coupling/decoupling network for single phase or three-phase mains supply lines and a HV terminal to connect a capacitive coupling clamp.

The spike frequency can be varied from as low as 100Hz up to 1,000kHz. The EFT 500N5 is capable to generate 10,000 spikes per second or up to 1,000 spikes per burst.

Its performance fully complies with IEC 61000-4-4 Ed.3:2012. Pre-programmed Standard Test routines and a number of selected User Test routines make the EFT 500N5 an optimum standalone solution for both testing during development and final testing of products and sub-assemblies.

EFT 500N5 series - The Burst/EFT generators that go beyond specification

The wide ranges offered to adjust the spike frequency and the burst duration are well-known for many years. Of course, the EFT 500N5 meets the latest waveform requirements into load at the coaxial 50ohm output as well as at the DUT port in common mode operation unlike other generators. The EFT 500N5 is the true, fully compliant EFT/Burst tester.

Different models of the standalone EFT 500N5 are avialable. It can be ordered with a built-in single phase coupler as well as with a built-in three-phase coupler for rated DUT currents up to 50A.

The EFT 500N5 can also be integrated in a complete test system in combination with other generators of the EM TEST 500 series and operate via a common coupling/decoupling network being equipped with the corresponding control interface.

Operation

Easy to operate

Front panel menu and function keys enable the user to program his test routines quickly and accurately. The cursor allows fast control of all test parameters of the programmed routine, thus test procedures are simplified and confidence is generated that every step is carried out correctly.

Software

iec.control - Software for control and documentation

The software is automatically configured according to the connected EM TEST generators. Extensive reporting capabilities help the user to create test reports that meet international requirements.

iec.control is supported by Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7. Remote control is achieved either via USB/RS232 or GPIB.

iec.control supports a wide range of GPIB cards of National Instruments.

Accessories

HFK - Capacitive coupling clamp

The HFK is a fully compliant capacitive coupling clamp as per specification of IEC/EN 61000-4-4.

ITP - Immunity Test Probes

TP is a tool being used for development test. It consists of a variety of electrical field probes. The probes allow to locate weak points within a system or on a PCB. The burst pulse is used to generate the disturbance signal.

CA EFT kit - Verification kit for EFT/burst pulses

As per IEC 61000-4-4 Ed.2:2004 the characteristic of the burst generator needs to be verified with two different loads, 50ohm and 1,000ohm. EM TEST offers a calibration kit consisting of the two loads and an adapter to verify the pulses at the DUT output.
