NSG 3040 EMC Test System
2.1 General description
TheNSG3040testsystemisamultifunctiongeneratorthatsimulatescable-
borneelectromagneticinterferenceeffectsforimmunitytestingtointernational,
national,andmanufacturers’standards.
Thesystemisdesignedtofulllconductedelectromagneticcompatibility(EMC)
testrequirementsforcompliancetestingofhousehold,ofce,lightindustrial
orcommercialequipment,includingcombinationwavesurge,ElectricalFast
Transient(EFT)pulses,andPowerQualityTesting(PQT).
TheNSG3040’smodulararchitectureandindustrystandardinterfacesallowit
tobeeasilyexpandedandcustomizedtomeetindividualtestingneeds.
Thesystemisdesignedasaseriesofinteroperablefunctionunitswithamaster
controllerthathandlestherealtimefunctionsandcommunicateswiththe
functionmodules.Eachfunctionunitcontainsaslavecontroller;allfunction
unitsareconnectedtogetherthroughtheirslavecontrollersandnetworked
withthecentralmastercontrollerviaaeldbus(Interbus).Informationconcern-
ingspecialfeaturesandtheiradjustableparametersarestoreddirectlyinthe
functionmodules.

Thismodularityenablesthefunctionunitstobecombinedintocustomized
testsystems,andlaterreconguredtoaddresschangingtestingrequirements.
Thefunctionunitscanbereadilymodiedtoaddresstherequirementsofnew
standards,andnewfunctionunitsfornewparametersmaybeincorporated
inexistingsystems.
TheNSG3040iscontrolledthroughitsstandarduserinterfaceviaatouch
paneldisplay.ThesystemcanalsobecontrolledbyaremotePCviaitsEthernet
interface.
Toensureoptimaluserandequipmentsafety,onlyindustry-standardandcor-
rectlyspeciedplugsandsocketsareusedthroughout.Highvoltageoutputs
areswitch-protected.

10
NSG 3040 EMC Test System
TheNSG3040testsystemisdesignedprimarilyforcable-bornetransientinter-
ferencetestsasspeciedintheEuropeangenericstandardsIEC/EN61000-6-1
coveringequipmentforhousehold,ofceandlightindustrialuse,andIEC/EN
61000-6-2forapplicationsinindustrialenvironments.TheNSG3040generates
thesetestsinaccordancewithIEC/EN61000-4-2,-4,-5,and-11.Accessoriesare
alsoavailableforgeneratingoptionalteststoIEC/EN61000-4-8and-9.
TheEUdirectiveno.89/336/EEC(fortheassignmentoftheCEsymbol)tothese
standardsandtothistypeofequipment.
ESDtests(inaccordancewithIEC/EN61000-4-2)mustbeperformedwitha
separatesimulator,suchas theTeseqNSG435,NSG437 orNSG438. The
standardcallsforbothairandcontactdischarges,andthesimulatorissupplied
withspecialtipsforeachtypeoftest.Inthecaseofairdischargesthesimulator
isdischargedbyholdingthetipclosetotheEUT.Then,whiledepressingthe
trigger,movingitclosertothetargetareauntiladischargeoccurs.Contact
dischargesoccurwiththetipofthesimulatorindirectcontactwithEUT.
Bursttests(incompliancewithIEC/EN61000-4-4)simulatethehighvoltage/high
frequencyinterferencepulsestypicallyproducedwhenaninductivelyloaded
switchisoperated.Withoutcounter-measures,suchinterferencemayoccur
whenacurrentthroughanelectromagneticdevice,e.g.motor,circuitbreaker,
relay,uorescentlamp,etc.isswitchedoff.
Thistypofinterferencecanaffectotherequipmentineitheroftwoways.Firstly,
theinterferencecanbecoupleddirectlyintothetargetequipmentviathemains
powercable.Theinterferencecanbetransmittedfromthesourcealongthe
mainspowercableconnectedtothetarget.Interferencefromthemainscan

reachanyotherpieceofequipmentconnectedtothesamepowersourcein
asimilarway,wherebythisdoesnotallhavetooccurinthesamesectionof
a building.
Alternatively,theinterferencecanbecapacitivecoupledintoanytargetdevice
inthevicinity.
Thetestsystemenablesatesttobeerformedusingbothcouplingmethods.
TheEUTisconnectedtothemainspowersocketonthefrontpanelofthetest
systemforthedirectmainsinjectiontest.Capacitivecoupledtestsrequirethe
interferencetobesuperimposedontheEUTcableviaanexternalcouplingunit
thatisconnectedtotheBurstoutputonthefrontpanelofthesystem.
3.2 Combination wave test
Thesurgetest,incompliancewithIEC/EN61000-4-5,duplicateshighenergy
interferenceasexperiencedwithalightningstrike.Generallyspeaking the
interferencendsitswayintohouseholdequipmentviathelowvoltagemains
power supply.
Thiskindofinterferencecanaffectequipmentineitheroftwoways.Firstly,the
interferencecanbecoupleddirectlyintotheequipmentviathemainssupply.
Theinterferenceisconveyeddirectlyfromthesource(e.g.lightningstriketo
external power cables). Everyitemof equipmentconnected to thispower
sourcewillbeaffectedbytheinterferencepulses.
Alternatively,thepulsesfromthesourceoftheinterferenceoritsassociated
mainscablescanbecoupledintootherequipmentpositionednearby.
Surgepulseinterferencecanalsooccuronsignalanddatalinesthroughcou-
plingeffectsandelectricaldischarges.
Thetestsystemenablesteststobecarriedoutusingbothcouplingmethods.
TheEUTisconnectedtothemainspowersocketonthefrontpanelofthetest
systemforthedirectmainsinjectiontest.Externallycoupledtestsrequirethe
interferencetobesuperimposedontotheEUTpowerfeedcableorsignal/data
linesviaanexternalcouplingunitthatisconnectedtothesurgeoutputonthe
frontpanelofthesystem.

3.3 Mains quality test
Themainsqualitytestincludesthesimulationofdipsanddrop-outsinthemains
powersupplyinaccordancewithIEC/EN61000-4-11andforDCpowersupplies
inaccordancewithIEC/EN61000-4-29.
Avoltagedipissaidtooccurwhenthesupplyvoltagefallsconsiderablybelow
thenominallevelforarelativelyshorttime,e.g.forafewcycles,whereasa
drop-outmeansthatthevoltagefallstozeroforasimilarperiod.
3.4 Magnetic fields with mains frequency (option)
Mainsfrequencymagneticeldtests,or,POWERMtests,involvethesimulation
ofthemagneticeldstypicallygeneratedbythecurrentowinpowersupply
cablesasspeciedintheIEC/EN61000-4-8standard.Suchmagneticelds
mayaffecttheoperationofitemsofequipmentthataresensitivetothem.The
NSG3040performsthistestbycausingacurrenttoowinamagneticeld
coilsuchthatthecurrentandfrequencyproduceaproportionaleldwithin
thecoilparameters.
Themagneticeldcoils,availableasaccessories,areconnectedtothemag-
neticeldoption(MFO)which,inturn,isconnectedtothesystem.
3.5 Pulsed magnetic fields (option)
Testswithpulsedmagneticelds,orPULSEMtests,simulatethekindofinter-
ferenceproducedbysurgepulsesasaresultoflightningstrikestobuildings
andothermetallicstructuressuchasfree-standingmasts,groundconductors,
groundingnetworks,etc.asspeciedinIEC/EN61000-4-9.Magneticeldsof
thistypemayupsettheoperationofinstallationsthatndthemselveswithin
suchelds.NSG3040performsthistestbycausingaheavycurrenttoowin
amagneticeldcoilsuchthattheamplitudeofthepulsecurrentproducea
proportionaleldwithinthecoilparameters.
Themagneticeldcoils,availableasaccessories,areconnectedtothesurge
pulseoutputsocketviatheINA752pulseshapingnetwork.

sories.
4.1 General
TheNSG3040mustbeoperatedonlybyauthorizedandtrainedspecialists.
Thegeneratoristobeusedonlyforthepurposespeciedbythemanufacturer.
Theuserisdirectlyresponsibleforensuringthatthetestsetupdoesnotcause
excessiveradiatedinterferencewhichcouldaffectotherinstrumentation.The
testsystemitselfdoesnotproduceanyexcessiveEMradiation.However,the
injectionofinterferencepulsesintoaEUTcanresultinitand/oritsassociated
cables radiating electromagnetic energy. Toavoid unwantedradiation, the
standardsorganizationsrecommendthatthetestsetupbeoperatedinsidea
Faradaycage.

14
NSG 3040 EMC Test System
WARNING - Because of its construction, the NSG 3040
is not suitable for use in an explosive atmosphere.
WARNING - Persons tted with a heart pacemaker must
neither operate the instrument nor approach the test
setup while a test is being executed.
Onlyapprovedaccessores,connectors,adapters,etc.aretobeusedtoensure
safeoperation.
WARNING - The NSG 3040 will start a self test when it is
switched on. This includes the function of the EUT cou-
pling relays and the detection of the EUT-input power
for synchronisation reason. Therefore the EUT-output is
to be considered as carying EUT power all the time!
4.2 Installation
TheNSG3040testsystemconformstoprotectionclass1.Localinstallation
regulationsmustberespectedtoensurethesafeowofleakagecurrents.
WARNING - Operation without a ground connection is
forbidden!
Twoindependentgroundconnectionsarenecessary-oneforthetestsystem
andonefortheEUT.Thesemustbeconnectedbacktothelocalpermanent
installationortoaxed,permanentgroundconductor.
Operatetheequipmentonlyindrysurroundings.Anycondensationthatoccurs
mustbeallowedtoevaporatebeforeputtingtheequipmentintooperation.Do

15
notexceedthepermissibleambienttemperatureorhumiditylevels.Useonly
ofciallyapprovedconnectorsandaccessoryitems.
Ensure that a reliable return path for the interference current is provided
betweentheEUTandthegenerator.Thereferencegroundplaneandtheground
connectionstotheinstruments,asdescribedintherelevantteststandards,
servethispurposewell.
Thetestsystemmayonlybeopeneduponspecicinstructiongivenbythe
manufacturer.Sincetheinstrumentworks,onprinciple,withtwoindependent
powersupplies(oneforthegeneratorandonefortheEUT),theNSG3040must
bedisconnectedfrombothsourcesbeforeanymodicationstothetestsetup
areundertaken.Besidesthemainsconnectionsthemselves,certaincompo-
nentsalsooperateathighvoltages,andarenotprovidedwithanyformofextra
protection against accidental contact.
4.3 Installation of an EUT power switch
TheEUTinputshouldbeconnectedaproperlyratedpowerswitchdevice,which
shouldbelocatedclosetothetestsetup.Inordertoensureaneasyandquick
accesstotheEUTpower,theswitchshouldbeclearlyandvisiblylabelledasa
devicefor“EUTpoweron/off”.
Thein-housepowerdistributionmustbeequippedwithapropercircuitbreaker
andanemergencyoffbuttonasperIEC61010-1:2001.
The test setup should only be accessible to trained per-
sonnel.
DimensioningofmainssupplyandratingoffuseprotectionofACorDCpower
supplymustconformwithnationalprescriptionsandEUTrequirements.
Inapropriatearrangement,mounting,cablingorhandlingoftheEUTorthepro-
tectiveelementscanhamperornegatetheeffectivenessoftheNSG3040’s
safetyfeatures.

16
NSG 3040 EMC Test System
4.4 Applicable safety standards
TheNSG3040conformstothesafetyrequirementsspeciedinIEC348and
offersallthefeaturesnecessaryforsaveandefcientoperation.
TheNSG3040wasdevelopedandismanufactured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).
Likeallmainspower-drivengenerators,thesystemisdesignedforhighvoltage
workingsafetyinaccordancewithVDE0104.
InterferenceimmunityhasbeentestedinaccordancewithEN60326-1.
Itistheuser’sresponsibilitytoensurethatthetestsetupdoesnotemitexces-
siveelectromagneticinterference(EMI)whichmightaffectotherequipment.
Thetestsystemitselfdoesnotproduceanyexcessiveradiation;however,the
injectionofinterferencepulsesintotheEUTcanresultinthedeviceand/or
itsassociatedcablesradiatingEMI.Toavoidradiatingunwantedinterference
thestandardsorganizationsrecommendthatthetestsetupbelocatedina
Faradaycage.
Sincethepurposeofthetestsystemistoproduceinterferencesignalsfor
interferenceimmunitytesting,therequirementsinIEC/EN61000-6-1,-2,-3,-4
concerninglimitingtheradiatedEMIcanonlybecompliedwithbyoperating
thetestsysteminsideaFaradaycage.

17
WARNING - The test area must be organized that no
unauthorized persons have access during the execu-
tion of a test. If a safety contact (Interlock) is used as a
means of access control to the test zone (e.g. a Faraday
cage), then an additional contact connected in series
is necessary to provide protection for parts of the EUT
that are likely to be touched EUT, its accidentally.
During a test, the EUT, its accessories and cables are
to be considered live at all times. The test system must
be stopped and the EUT supply disconnected before
any work can be carried out on the EUT. This can be
achieved simply by opening the Interlock circuit.
The EUT is to be tested only in a protective cage or
under a hood which provides protection against electric
shock and all manner of other dangers pertaining to the
particular EUT (see: User warnings - Generator).
The safety instructions for all the instruments and asso -
ciated equipment involved in the test setup.
Test setup conguration is to be strictly in compliance
with the methods described in the relevant standard
to ensure that the test is executed in a compliant
manner.
4.5 Test execution

18
NSG 3040 EMC Test System
WARNING - Users must be aware of the following
dangers that can occur during testing:
Local burning, arcing, ignition of explosive gases.
EUT supply current surge caused by a ashover
or breakdown resulting from the superimposed high
voltage.
Disturbance of other, unrelated electronics, telecom-
munications, navigational systems and heart pace-
makers through unnoticed high frequency radia-
tion.
Ground contacts, including the EUT ground, can be at
elevated voltage levels that would make them
dangerous to touch.
4.6 User warnings - Generator

19
WARNING - Users must be aware of the following
dangers that can occur during testing:
EUTs are often functional samples that have not yet
been subjected to safety tests. It is therefore pos-
sible that the EUT could be damaged by internal
overloads or may even start to burn.
As soon as the EUT shows signs of being disrupted
the test should be stopped and the power to the EUT
switched off.
Internal disruption of the electronics can result in
the interference voltage or the EUT supply voltage
being present on the EUT’s outer casing.
Electrical breakdown or arcing from and within
plugged connections that are overstressed by
voltage during the test.
Explosion of components with re or fragmentation
as a result of energy dissipated, e.g. from the resul-
tant supply current or ignition of vaporized plastics
materials.
Faulty behavior by the EUT, e.g. a robot arm strikes
out or a temperature controller fails, etc.
