The CTS Series is a complete, turn-key compliance test system for EN IEC 61000-3-2 (Harmonics), EN IEC 61000-3-3 (Flicker), and various EN IEC 61000-4 AC immunity tests. Consisting of an AC power source, a power analysis conditioning system (PACS), and a PC-based data acquisition system, the IEC 61000-4-7 compliant CTS Series provides a comprehensive solution for IEC testing. The Windows™ based CTS software performs the IEC tests and generates detailed test reports. Detailed test data files are stored on disk to allow post-test analysis.
The IEC Compliance Test Systems - CTS Series implements several EMC-conducted emissions and immunity standards and provides a software-only upgrade path for future standard changes.
A European-style AC outlet is provided on the front panel or rear panel for easy connection of single-phase loads. Three-phase loads are connected using rear terminal blocks.

- Full compliance testing for single-phase and three-phase current harmonics emissions of class A, B, C, and D products is supported. Supports IEC 61000-3-2:2018 + AMD1:2020 CSV.
EN 61000-3-3 Flicker
- Flicker PST & PLT results are displayed in real-time during the entire test. No need to wait until the entire test is completed to know if the EUT passed or failed. Both programmable and lumped reference impedance methods are available for flicker testing. Supports IEC 61000-3-3:2013/AMD2:2021 CSV.
EN 61000-4-11 Voltage Dips, Interruptions, and Variations
- Pre-compliance Voltage Dips and Interruptions are available on most CTS systems. For full compliance solutions, the Electronic Output Switch (option -EOS1 or -EOS3) may be added to any iX-based IEC Compliance Test Systems. Supports IEC 61000-4-11:2004-03.
EN 61000-4-13 Harmonics and Interharmonics
- Testing to the EN 61000-4-13 Interharmonics standard is supported on all iX Series-based CTS systems by adding the -413 option. Supports IEC 61000-4-13:2009-05.
Other EN 61000-4 Immunity Tests
- Additional immunity test standards are supported on all iX-based IEC Compliance Test Systems
Configurations
- The CTS system is available in both single-phase and three-phase configurations. Single-phase configurations range in power from 3000 VA to 5000 VA.
- Three-phase configurations offer 15 k VA or 18.5 A per phase at 230 V. Single-phase 5001iX-CTS systems can be upgraded to three-phase systems if needed.
- Measurement-only CTS system versions (100-CTS and 300-CTS) can be added to an existing California Instruments power source.

(1) MX-CTS systems do not offer programmable impedance and require option -LR4/OMNI-3-75 for Flicker test. Options -LR1 and -LR3 may be added to 3001iX-CTS / 5001iX-CTS or 15003iX-CTS configurations to be used in lieu of the standard programmable impedance. Option -LR1 is built-in to PACS-1.
Option -LR3 and -LR4 consist of OMNI-3-18i and OMNI-3-37i respectively. See OMNI data under options on last page.
