The MIL-STD-461, respectively IEC 61000-4-25 and AECTP 500, is applicable to equipment or subsystems located outside a shielded facility. The RS105 test method describes a transient electromagnetic pulse of up to 50 kV/m (-0dB, +6dB), a double exponential waveform with a rise time in the nanosecond range, that is applied to the equipment under test (EUT) at least 5 times. The EUT should not exhibit any signs of performance degradation. Transportable systems for indoor/outdoor use and fixed simulators for outdoor installations have been developed and marketed since 1998.
The NEMP140 is a specialized test system designed to evaluate the electromagnetic pulse (NEMP) immunity of small electronic components, such as printed circuit boards and subsystems, in compliance with MIL-STD-461 RS105 standards. This compact and portable setup features a robust control unit and a high-voltage radiating line assembly mounted on a stable frame, allowing for easy placement and mobility on a workbench. Transportable NEMP test system according to MIL-STD 461 versions E, F and G / RS105, height of the radiation line 140 cm, for a test amplitude of up to 50 kV/m.
Key Features:
High Precision Testing: Generates a minimum electric field of 50 kV/m, with the capability to achieve higher fields for smaller objects positioned near the radiating line.
Ease of Control: The integrated computer interface supports RS232 and USB connections for seamless operation and data management.
Versatile Design: Suitable for both laboratory and field environments, the NEMP050 accommodates a variety of test scenarios with adjustable charging voltages ranging from 5 to 80 kV.
Compact Dimensions: The control unit measures 56 x 19 x 45 cm, and the line assembly is 6.23 x 1.4 x 2.11 m (L x H x W), ensuring it fits comfortably in diverse testing setups.
Whether you need to ensure the resilience of critical electronic systems or validate compliance with military standards, the NEMP140 provides a reliable and efficient solution for NEMP radiated susceptibility testing.
