AC2000-A – Analyse harmonic compliance
Full lEC61000-3-2 and IEC61000-3-3 compliance test system
The Laplace Harmonics and Flicker analyser provides the user with a complete system for testing product compliance with IEC61000-3-2 and IEC61000-3-3. Quick and easy to use, the built-in screen provides a clear pass/fail indication of compliance status, plus a full listing of results for each harmonic, in either tabular of bargraph format. The instrument is properly configured to cope with fluctuating harmonics. The Flicker mode provides proper measurement of short term and long term parameters, using algorithms specified in IEC61000-4-15. In addition, inrush current measurements can be automated such that the product under test can be automatically cycled on/off with user entered time profiles.
European requirements for EMC compliance now include limits for any harmonics and flicker imposed on the mains supply by the product. Modern power supplies for many electronic products draw current from the supply in a very non-sinusoidal manner, thus creating high harmonic levels which affect the efficiency and quality of the mains supply.
IEC61000-3-2 (harmonics) and IEC61000-3-3 (flicker) define the test methods and allowable limits. The AC2000A fully incorporates all this information in its firmware and is automatically able to take into account variables such as minimum power and rated power levels when setting the limits.
The AC2000A Harmonics & Flicker analyser fully complies with these measurement standards and enables test laboratory grade measurements to be made quickly and simply.
For loads up to 1kW, the optional AC 1000 delivers ‘clean’ A.C. power with THD less than 0.1%.
- Stand alone, self contained – a completely integrated instrument
- Immediate display of compliance status with full listing of all measurements
- Power meter functions included
- Easy setup and automatic analysis against standards
- Optional clean power source available (AC1000A)
Comprehensive
The AC2000A is not only a compliant harmonics analyser and flickermeter. it is also a powerful mains power meter and in-rush current meter. with a wide selection of display modes. including tabular. graphical and bargraph.
Confidence
The AC2000A is a no compromise compliance test instrument. It removes all the guesswork from product evaluation and test setting and delivers an unambiguous pass/fail result.
Compliance
The AC2000A Flickermeter option measures Pst and Plt in accordance with IEC 61 000-3-3.
