NetWave - Simulation of the most required power supply phenomenon

The NetWave series (1-phase) are single phase AC/DC power sources, specifically designed to meet the requirements as per the standards IEC/EN 61000-4-13, -4-14 and -4-28. Used as a DC power source it covers the requirements as per the standards IEC/EN 61000-4-17 (Ripple on DC) and IEC/EN 61000-4-29 for voltage dips and interruptions on DC supplies.

With its low distortion and high stability, even if supplying dynamic loads, the NetWave series guarantees full compliant measurements for harmonics and flicker testing as per IEC/EN 61000-3-2,-3-3, -3-11 and -3-12 as well as JIS C 61000-3-2.

The NetWave series is well suited for testing inverters (e.g. solar power, wind power) and e-vehicles.
Additionally, the NetWave series (1-phase) offers the necessary capabilities for avionics testing as per DO-160, Airbus ABD0100 and Boeing as well as per MIL-STD-704.

NetWave - The powerful multitalent for AC and DC supply simulation

The programmable AC and DC power source with its wide frequency bandwidth offers powerful waveform generation capabilities for various test applications in the EMC area and for avionics testing. Based on a Dual-Processor technology, with an integrated high-performance PC, a digital signal processor (DSP) and equipped with a hard disk the NetWave is capable to generate and record waveforms in realtime.

Its output power with low distortion and high stability, even if supplying dynamic loads, guarantees full compliant measurements for harmonics and flicker testing as per IEC/EN 61000-3-2, JIS C 61000-3-2 and IEC/EN 61000-3-3 as well as per IEC/EN 61000-3-11 and IEC/EN 61000-3-12. The NetWave is well suited for testing inverters of solar and wind power generators and e-vehicles. Additionally, the NetWave offers full capabilities for avionics testing as per DO-160, Airbus ABD0100 and Boeing as well as per MIL-STD-704. 

According to standard requirements a pure sinusoidal voltage is needed for harmonics and flicker measurements. The output voltage of the NetWave is therefore guaranteed to have a very low distortion (THD) of less than 0.1% regardless of the load.

No matter whether waveforms are programmed of segments or of single points (normally resulting in MBs of data) the NetWave will do. Recording of waveforms with up to 1GByte is easily possible. The measuring channels are designed to handle up to +/- 500 Vpeak and +/-150 Apeak with 16bit resolution. Interfaces like GPIB, Ethernet and USB (to connect a memory stick) are common features with the NetWave.

Software

netwave.control - Editing, documenting and managing your waveforms and standard tests

netwave.control is the tool to easily and conveniently control the NetWave. By means of netwave.control the user can program any kind of waveform either composed from segments or points and download into the NetWave. Enhanced graphic tools are at hand to adjust the waveform according to individual requirements. 

netwave.control provides a library of an extensive compilation of predefined segments as well as a large number of standard test routines as per EMC and avionics standards. netwave.control is also handling any waveform recorded by other method (e.g. captured by an oscilloscope) or imported as Excel or CSV files. All waveforms can be downloaded into the NetWave.

netwave.control offers an enhanced reporting tool to generate test/measuring reports and can be used under Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8.
