Electrical fast transients (EFT) are the most popular sources of disturbances in modern electronic circuits. EFT/bursts are caused by the operation of electromechanical switches, motors, or power distribution switchgear.
The PEFT 8010 instrument contains all the features expected from a top-quality EFT generator. Unbeaten performance paired with a high-end assembly guarantees a cost-effective, long-lasting investment and valuable test results.
PEFT 8010 can either be operated by the front panel keys in a stand-alone manner or be controlled by a PC via RS232 or IEEE 488 as part of a complete EMC test system.
Tests can be performed manually or automatically with predefined test programs. With its large LCD and intuitive software, the front panel layout is specially designed for self-explanatory and safe instrument operation. Up to 36 test setups can be programmed and saved on the internal non-volatile memory.
Bursts are generated according to the related standards IEC 61000-4-4 and EN 61000-4-4. The PEFT 8010 can deliver EFT impulses in different formats, including normal, continuous, random, and real pulse distribution.
For better handling, the PEFT 8010 has two grounding connections, one at the front and one at the rear. This is very helpful in connecting to the ground plane if the PEFT 8010 is used horizontally or vertically. With the integrated “Transition Function” Unominal, the spike frequency, the burst duration and the burst period can be varied automatically during a test. Besides this, it is also possible to edit the parameters manually during a test. Besides conventional safety features, the PEFT 8010 contains a separate “Line ON/OFF” switch with which the main supply can be disconnected from the equipment under test.
