The new 100 A, three-phase burst pulse coupling/decoupling network (CDN) designed electrical fast transient (EFT) or burst testing in the power and telecom industries has been released by Teseq at the IEEE International Symposium on EMC in Denver, Colo.
According to Teseq, the compact, lightweight CDN 3083-B100 is “easily” capable of applications that require higher AC and DC voltages, as well as high inrush or pulse-shaped peak currents like those found in renewable energy. Ideal applications include smart grids, inverters, solar and energy monitoring, as well as implementation in electric vehicles and charging stations.
The CDN 3083-B100 can couple up to 8.8 kV EFT pulses simultaneously into the supply lines of the equipment under test, and is designed to be used with an EUT supply up to 690 VAC, either line-to-line or line to protective earth, or up to 1,000 VDC line-to-line or line to protective earth. Though designed for continuous performance up to 100 A per phase, the CDN 3083-B100 can withstand higher currents for shorter durations of time. It is compatible with all brands of burst generators and is compliant to IEC 61000-4-4 Ed. 3.0.
