EM TEST UCS 500 Series 9.4. Coupling decoupling network The decoupling part of the coupling network has to: - filter the interference pulses in the direction to the power supply; - protect other systems that are connected to the same power supply and - realize a high impedance of the power supply, e.g.
Page 27
EM TEST UCS 500 Series 9.4.2. Capacitive coupling clamp - The coupling clamp is not matched by 50 ohm. If the clamp is matched there exists an additional magnetic coupling, which may cause completely different test results. - The clamp should be placed in a distance of 0.5m to the equipment under test. When using shorter distances, the EUT may be influenced by radiation.

EM TEST UCS 500 Series 11.3. The Power Fail Test The generator type UCS 500 M4/M6/M6A simulates the following interference : - Voltage dips - Voltage interruptions - Voltage variations - Inverse 11.3.1. Voltage Interruptions Depending on the preselected test parameters at the front panel of the simulator the power supply for the EUT is interrupted for a certain time and at a certain phase angle (AC power supplies).

EM TEST UCS 500 Series 11.3.2. Voltage dips, voltage variations Depending on the preselected test parameters, the test voltage is changed to a higher or to a lower value for a certain duration and at a certain phase angle. Voltage variations are normally related to the nominal value of the supply voltage. Therefore two different variacs shall be connected at the rear side of the simulator.
