Provides protection against incidental transients. Provides DC blocking protection. Due to the nature of the ISN T8, transient or DC voltages are not likely to be present at the RF port, and is more likely to occur due to human error, or when performing measurements on power lines.
9.5 to 11.5 dB over the frequency range. There are two sets of factors included, corresponding to the calibration of the ISN T8 with the Cat. 3 LCL Adapter and the ISN T8 with the Cat. 5 LCL Adapter. Make sure that the appropriate set of factors are used, depending on which LCL adapter you are using.
Page 18 of 24 INSTRUCTION MANUAL ISN T8 IMPEDANCE STABILIZATION NETWORK (ISN) 5.0 Important Safety Precautions The ISN must be securely fastened to the earth ground before making any connections to external power. Proper grounding of the ISN is essensial for accurate measurements, as well as preventing potentially high leakage currents from presenting a hazard to test personnel.
