Limited Warranty
York EMC Services warrants each HFG01 to be free
from defects in material and workmanship for a period of
one year from the date of shipment to the purchaser.
This warranty extends to the original purchaser only. It
does not apply to any product or parts subject to misuse,
neglect, accident, unauthorised service or abnormal
conditions of operation.
In the event a product covered by this warranty fails,
York EMC Services, will, without charge, repair and
recalibrate the instrument if returned to their test
laboratory within one year of the original purchase –
provided that York EMC Services examination discloses,
to its satisfaction, that the product is defective. York EMC
Services may, at its option, replace the product in lieu of
repair. If the defect was caused by misuse, neglect,
accident, unauthorised service or abnormal conditions of
operation, repairs will be billed at a nominal cost. In such
cases, an estimate will be provided before work is
started, if requested by the purchaser.
For warranty service, contact York EMC Services.
Provide the serial number of the equipment and

DISCLAIMER
THE HFG01 HAS BEEN DESIGNED TO PRODUCE HARMONIC AND FLICKER
DISTURBANCES TO THE POWER SUPPLY TO WHICH THE TEST PORT HAS
BEEN CONNECTED, AND AS SUCH IT IS ONLY INTENDED TO BE
CONNECTED TO SUITABLE TEST EQUIPMENT. CONNECTION TO THE
PUBLIC MAINS DISTRIBUTION NETWORK IS NOT PERMITTED.
YORK EMC SERVICES LTD ASSUMES NO LIABILITY FOR ANY DAMAGE
THAT MAY RESULT FROM THE USE OF THIS EQUIPMENT OUTSIDE ITS
RECOMMENDED OPERATING CONDITIONS.
PRECAUTIONS
THE HFG01 MUST NOT BE OPERATED WITH THE TEST SUPPLY INPUT
PLUGGED DIRECTLY INTO A PUBLIC MAINS SUPPLY SYSTEM.
WHEN OPERATED, THE HFG01 WILL CAUSE HARMONIC AND FLICKER
EMISSIONS TO THE SUPPLY CONNECTED TO THE TEST SUPPLY INPUT.

1 I NTRODUCTION
The Harmonics & Flicker Generator 01 (HFG01) has been designed by York EMC
Services for the purpose of providing an easy and reliable way to externally check
the performance of measurement systems used for testing against the EN/IEC
61000-3-2 harmonics and interharmonics and EN/IEC 61000-3-3 flicker standards.
The HFG01 allows the user to periodically verify their test equipment and its
operation together, helping to ensure compliance with standards and laboratory
quality procedures.
The HFG01 provides a series of harmonic and flicker disturbances of a nominal
but stable level. The HFG01 may therefore be used to verify the stability of a
measurement system. Additionally, due to its own stability it may be used as a
transfer standard from a calibrated system, or be used as a repeatable source of
interference for diagnostic and/or development design work.

2 D ESCRIPTION
The HFG01 simulates equipment under test (EUT), generating known, repeatable
levels of harmonic and flicker disturbance in one of four modes of operation.
The flicker test modes generate a fixed level of mains disturbance at a rate of 1 Hz
and 8.33 Hz. These modes support verification of the test systems used for EUT
flicker disturbance measurements as described in the EN/IEC 61000-3-3 test
standards.
The harmonics test modes are designed to produce a variety of harmonic-rich
current waveforms. These current waveforms support verification of the test
systems used for mains-powered equipment load current testing as described in
the EN/IEC 61000-3-2 test standards.
The HFG01 can be used with test systems operating at 230 Vac (nominal) supply
voltages and 50 Hz supply frequency. Connection to the test system is by a captive
lead pre-fitted with a CEE 7/7 European style plug thatfits directly with power outlet
used by a wide range of harmonics and flicker equipment.
The HFG01 itself is powered by a wide-input range AC/DC power supply unit that
is powered separately from the Test Supply under test. This ensures that the
disturbance signals generated by theHFG01 are not affected by the need to derive
the HFG01’s own supply needs from the Test Supply under test.
For ease of access all connections, user controls, and indicators are located on
the front panel of the HFG01. The HFG01 is supplied with the external power unit
with mains cable, manufacturer’s test certificate, and a CDROM containing digital
copies of the manual, test certificate, and files of the tabulated certificate data.

NOTE. Do not allow any obstructions to interfere with the operation of the fans, or
site the HFG01 such that airflow is restricted. Doing so will cause the equipment to
run at an increased temperature and in so doing may affect its operation.
