The CTS Series is a complete, turn-key compliance test system for EN IEC 1000-3-2 (Harmonics) Including A14, EN IEC 1000-3-3 (Flicker) and various EN IEC 1000-4 AC immunity tests. Consisting of an AC power source, a power analysis conditioning system (PACS) and a PC based data acquisition system, the CTS provides a complete turn-key solution for IEC testing. The Windows™ based CTS software performs the IEC tests and generates detailed test reports. Comprehensive data files are stored on disk to allow post test analysis.
The CTS system implements various IEC standards including the new Amendment 14 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.
Covered EN IEC Standards The following tests can be performed using an iX Series based CTS system:
- EN 61000-3-2 Harmonics (A14)
- EN 61000-3-3 Flicker
- EN 61000-4-11 Voltage Dips and Interruptions (EOS Option - ED2.0)
- EN 61000-4-13 Harmonics and Inter-harmonics (requires option -413)
- EN 6100-4-17 DC Ripple
- EN 61000-4-14 Voltage Fluctuations
- EN 61000-4-28 Frequency Variations
- EN 61000-4-29 DC Dips and Interruptions (Pre-compliance)
EN 61000-3-2 Harmonics
- Full compliance testing for current harmonics emissions of class A, B, C and D products is supported. Support for both the 1998 and 2001 version (Amendment 14) of the Harmonics standard is built-in for full compliance with both harmonics standards.
EN 61000-3-3 Flicker
- Flicker PST & PLT results are displayed in realtime 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.
EN 61000-4-11 Voltage Dips - ED2.0
- 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 CTS systems.
EN 61000-4-13 Interharmonics
- Testing to the EN 61000-4-13 Interharmonics standard is supported on all iX Series based CTS systems by adding the -413 option.
Other EN 61000-4 Immunity Tests
- Additional immunity test standards are supported on all iX based CTS Systems.
- Configurations The CTS system is available in both single phase and three phase configurations. Single phase configurations range in power from 1250 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. |
