The test rig must provide adequate insulation protection for up to 15 kV surge and the additional rated EUT mains voltage (peak). Particular care should be given to the connections between the CDN and the equipment under test (EUT). The rated data for the cable insulation must be such that the insulation of the cables in the high-voltage circuit is 20 kV, and the power cable to the device is min.
INSTALLATION Test system conforms to protection class 1. Local installation regulations must be respected to ensure the safe flow of leakage currents. WARNING - Operation without an earth connection is forbidden! WARNING - Switch off EUT power before accessing EUT power IN or OUT terminals.
4.1 Installation of a power emergency off switch The CDN itself has an internal power switch to control EUT power ON/OFF, accessible via the user interface or the software, but nerveless, it is recommended to connect the EUT power through a properly rated circuit breaker and an emergency off button as per IEC/EN 61010-1.
APPLICABLE THE SAFETY STANDARDS The construction of the instrument conforms to the safety requirements and offers everything necessary for safe and efficient operation. Development and manufacture is in compliance with ISO 9001. The system complies with the safety requirements of IEC/EN 61010-1 (safety requirements for electrical equipment for measurement, control and laboratory use).
PULSE COUPLING 6.1 Combination wave test The surge test in compliance with IEC/EN 61000-4-5 simulates high voltage/high energy interference as experienced with a lightning strike. Generally speaking, the interference finds its way into equipment by way of the mains supply. This kind of interference can affect equipment in either of two ways.
FIRST STEP This chapter contains a short check-list with steps that should be taken before the instrument is connected to the generator, switched on and put into operation. Check the packaging for signs of damage in transit. Any damage should be reported immediately to the transportation company.
INSTALLATION OF THE CDN 3153-S63.1 The mains power voltage indicated on the instrument must accord with the local supply voltage (mains voltage: 85–265 VAC, universal power unit, mains frequency: 50–60 Hz). To insert a fuse, pull the fuse-holder out of the connector, insert 2 fuse cartridges 2 x 3.15 AT (slow blow) into the holder and put the holder back.
MAIN FRAME DESCRIPTION 9.1 Front panel CDN 3153-S63.1 9.1.1 EUT output connection Never attempt to connect or disconnect an EUT while a test is being carried out. The power output connection for three phases 5 cord EUTs. A suitable “Allen key” to screw /unscrew the power leads is included in the delivery package.
Page 15
9.1.2 Ground reference terminal A good earth connection between the CDN and the earth reference plate is essential. This terminal of the CDN provides a solid earth connection point to the test system. There is no need to connect the earth connector from the generator itself, since the surge connectors provide the reference ground from the generator to the CDN.
9.2 Rear panel CDN 3153-S63.1 9.2.1 Mains input and power switch The main input is the power to the internal electronics of the CDN. This connection must not be confused with the EUT power input. The input contains the mains power input connector, the mains switch and the mains fuses. Before putting the instrument into operation, please make sure that the voltage range shown on the mains input module corresponds with the voltage of the local supply to which the instrument will be connected, and...

9.2.4 Color codes of a 3-phase system Conductors of a three phase-system are usually identified by a color code, to allow for balanced loading and to assure the correct phase rotation. Colors used may adhere to International Standard IEC 60446, older standards, or to no standard at all, and may vary even within a single installation.
9.3 Phase rotation indication This important and easy to read feature guaranties a correct coupling especially in synchronous mode. The phase rotation identifies cation at the back off the CDN units shows clearly, if all phases are connected and if the rotation of L1, L2 and L3 are correctly set, this is important especially in synchronous mode.
Page 20
This is a correct EUT power setting, all phases are connected (all lines indication are on) and the rotation is right too. The EUT power lines provide all power, but the phase rotation is wrong. In this case the exchange of line L1, L2, or L3 will solve the rotation problem. Not all EUT power lines provide power and the phase rotation is wrong too.
Page 21
9.3.1 2- or 1-phase AC EUT mains input The CDN is able to handle also two and single phase power mains. In this case the color code is different. It is the user’s responsibility to ensure that in two or 1-phase system, the phases are correctly set at the input as well as at the EUT output connector, in this case the phase rotation detector does not work properly.
Page 22
Indication in two-phase mode If L1 and L2 are connected, then L3 will light up softly as well and the red and green rotation led will be on dimly. 9.3.3 DC EUT input For DC application up to 1000 V the user must connect the DC option INA 3151-63 to the rear panel.

9.3.4 System Interface The system interface is for control external devices. The system interface cable is between generator and the coupling network. The “System in” connector of the CDN 3153-S63.1 need a link to the “Master controller” NSG 3150 generator. The system cable is part of the delivery. Otherwise the interlock terminator must be connected at the CDN 3153-S63.1 System interface out plug and the screws need to be tightened.
10 TEST SETUP SETTING 10.1 Applicable safety standard Development and manufacture is in compliance to ISO 9001. The instrument complies with the safety requirements of IEC/EN 61010-1 (Safety requirements for electrical equipment for measurement, control and laboratory use). The interference immunity has been tested in accordance with EN 61326-1. It is the user’s responsibility to ensure that the test rig does not emit excessive electromagnetic interference (EMI) that might affect other items of equipment.
10.3 Dangers concerning the generator Local burning, arcing, ignition of explosive gases. Danger from the resultant EUT supply current caused by a flashover or breakdown resulting from the superimposed high voltage effects. Dangers from a disrupted EUT. Disturbance of other, unrelated electronics, telecommunications, navigational aids and heart pacemakers through unnoticed radiation of high frequency energy.
