output lines connected to the breaker. Both fast
transient and oscillatory surges are applied.
4. RF and EMI. These tests ensure that the breaker and trip
unit are not susceptible to radiated electromagnetic
fields. The test is performed per the ANSI C37.90.2
Radiated Field Immunity specification. The breaker is
subjected to a modulated field of 20-50V/m from 20
MHz to 1 GHz with the field polarization applied verti-
cally and horizontally.
5. Walkie-Talkie Immunity. The breaker is subjected to a
number of standard types of industrial walkie-talkies to
ensure that it is immune to nuisance trips or improper
operation when nearby walkie-talkies are used.
6. Wiggins Immunity. Tests are performed to ensure the
breaker will not nuisance trip when exposed to a high
inductive load (Wiggy) voltage tester across the
energized phase lines.
7. Humidity. A number of units are exposed to high-
humidity environments of 95% relative humidity for
a period of one week to simulate severe environmental
conditions.
8. Dust. Units are subjected to severe atmospheric dust
environments per MIL-STD-810E, Method 510.3,
Proc. I. No dust build-up behind the display window is
permitted.
9. Salt Spray. Units are subjected to severe salt spray
and salt fog environments per ASTM B117.
10. Electro-Static Discharge. Units are subjected to Electro-
Static Discharge tests of up to 8.0kV.
