МС2.211.001 UM Introduction The manual covers Programmable Waveform Generator Energoforma 3.3 (hereinafter re- ferred to as the Generator) and contains the information and instructions for its operation. The aforesaid equipment has been manufactured in compliance with Technical Specifications TS 4345-019-499764972003-2003 and conforms to the Technical Requirements in force.
MARS-ENERGO 2. General information and operation principle 2.1. Application 2.1.1. Energoforma 3.3 generates single- and three-phase system of current/voltage sig- nals according to a user-specified model that can be used for testing and adjustment of instru- ments that measure: Active, reactive and apparent power/energy;...

МС2.211.001 UM 2.2.2. The Generator is provided with three channels for generating voltages (phase volt- ages) as well as with three independent channels for generating currents. There are two ways for the user to specify a signal model in digital form: By selecting one of standard signals from the device's internal memory or specifying signal parameters (for a specific signal) using the built-in keyboard;...
MARS-ENERGO 2.3. Design and operation 2.3.1. Block diagram of the Generator is shown in Fig. 2.2. Fig. 2.2. Block diagram 2.3.2. At the hart of the Generator are a Texas Instruments signal processor and FPGA from Xilinx. Such a solution makes possible prompt upgrading of Generator’s firmware, keep- ing its hardware intact.

МС2.211.001 UM the parameters of signals to be generated (waveform, amplitude, phase shifts for currents and voltages) etc. 2.3.3. The Power Supply unit generates voltages +5V, +3.3V, and +1.6V for the Central Processor Board and +5V (independent power supply) for RS-232 port. It also contains a cir- cuit that keeps output signals synchronized with power supply network (synchronization signal represented as a 50x2048Hz meander comes to the Central Processor board).
MARS-ENERGO 3. Preparing for operation 3.1. Operating restrictions If the Generator has been moved from a cold environment (with ambient temperature be- low 20°C) into a warm one, it shall be left to stand for at least 4 hours at room temperature before applying power, to make sure that no condensation remains inside.

МС2.211.001 UM Fig. 3.1. “Power up” screen Pressing any key will bring up the main menu (see Fig. 4.1). To set the Generator for stable operation, it shall be kept powered for at least 30 minutes.
MARS-ENERGO 4. Operation procedure Energoforma 3.3 three-phase programmable waveform generator operates in two modes: Controlled from a PC via RS-232 running “Energoform” program; Controlled from its membrane keyboard. 4.1. PC-controlled mode To operate the Generator in the on-line mode, “Energoform” software package shall be installed on a PC.

MARS-ENERGO The parameter setting windows (hereinafter referred to as “the windows”) graphically and/or textually display various parameters of the signal produced by the Generator. Each win- dow has one or more modifiable fields in it (“the fields”). When there are several fields in the window, keys can be used to skip from field to field.

МС2.211.001 UM The meaning of each icon is described below (from right to left): “Generation” mode: — generation of output signals is turned on at the moment. — generation of output signals is turned off, and the outputs have zero potentials. To change the mode, select the corresponding icon and press “ENT”.
MARS-ENERGO 4.2.2. “Standard signal” mode The mode makes Generator produce pure sine waveforms on its outputs. Angles between phase voltages are set to 120°. You can use the window shown in Fig. 4.5 to specify: Fundamental (1st harmonic) frequency — from 42.50 to 70.00Hz in 0.01Hz steps;...

МС2.211.001 UM 4.2.3.1. “Programmed waveform” menu This option (Fig. 4.7) makes it possible to set signals on Generator outputs to any desired parameter values (within permissible limits established for each parameter): Frequency; Phase angles; Wave shape; RMS values. Additionally, the “Interharmonics” mode is turned on/off here. Fig.

МС2.211.001 UM 4.2.3.2. “Subharmonics” mode In the “Subharmonics” mode, it is possible to set parameters for signals on Generator’s current outputs I . One period of such a signal is outlined on the diagram (Fig 4.15). Fig. 4.15. Shape of a signal generated in “Subharmonics” mode (with period T) You can use the window pictured on Fig.
Page 20
MARS-ENERGO You can use the window pictured on Fig. 4.18 to specify: fundamental frequency (i.e. the frequency of the first harmonic); phase shift between current and voltage, one and the same for each phase; current and voltage values. Checkboxes below I allow you to toggle switches that you can use to set off (zero) phase currents as desired.
МС2.211.001 UM 4.2.3.5. Flicker Mode In the “Flicker” mode, meander-like changes in voltage are maintained on Generator out- puts. These fluctuations depend on the settings in the window (see the table below): Relative change in voltage Number of variations Number ΔU/U, % per minute 2.720...
