To support your needs to meet the most stringent requirements of RTCA/DO160, MIL-STD-461, DEF-STAN 59-411, Airbus ABD0100, Boeing and many others, ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ offers power quality testing at extremely high voltage and current levels with entirely tailorable parameters.
What is power quality testing and why is it important?
Power quality testing is essential to expose susceptibilities to incoming phenomena as well as characterizing what will be passed from equipment back onto the power lines. Power supply effects covered by power quality testing include; steady state/fault & emergency conditions, transients, surges and spikes among others.
EMC power quality test systems
Our power quality test systems are extremely flexible, allowing us to provide AC & DC power at virtually any voltage and current level, as well as Single-Phase and Three-Phase AC power at virtually any frequency.
Using our customizable test systems, we can provide virtually any surge or interruption transient with extremely fast slew rates, including:
AC:
- 500 Volts (per phase)
- 250 Amps (3 phase)
- 750 Amps (1 phase)
DC:
- 700 Volts
- 1200 Amps
Standards we test to
We provide power quality testing in accordance with virtually all commercial and military standards, such as:
- RTCA/DO-160
- MIL-STD-704
- MIL-STD-1275
- MIL-STD-1399
- DEF-STAN 61-5
- Airbus ABD0100.1.8
