SPECIFICATIONS

Defence Standard 59-411 DCS05

The Conformity Assessment Business Model DCS05 Test Generator produces all the required pulses 0.5 MHz through to 50 MHz. The Generator is fully controlled by a Defensetouch screen interface and comes as standard ready to test at NEMP levels.

This Generator is designed and for use only in testing to test DCS05 of Defence Standard 59-41, for application of both Switching and NEMP test levels. For switching levels up to 15 MHz, a suitable attenuator is provided for use with the Generator. This is required in order to maintain a suitable charge level which enables the Generator to meet the damping and frequency requirements at the lower test levels.

Test overview

The DCS05 Generator applies Defence Standard 59-411 damped oscillatory transients to Equipment Under Test (EUT) using a matched clamp. The cable under test is passed through the clamp and the transients are applied at a pre-calibrated current level (current into 10Ohm).

The Generator software stores the voltage set at the calibration phase of the test for each of the nine pulses. During the test application, the software sets the required charge voltage for each of the pulses as they are selected. This allows a full 9 pulse calibration to be carried out and saves time during the test phase. Pulses can be applied as a singular pulse or in a repetition of 1-100 pulses, with a 2 – 60 second interval.

For switching pulses it is important to keep the charge voltage high to maintain the correct waveshape and damping characteristics. A suitable pulse attenuator to achieve this is supplied with the Generator, this should be connected at the injection clamp when performing Switching Level transients and is used in the frequency range 500 kHz to 15 MHz.
