The Power Fail Simulator PFS-CE-16 is a compact EMC test unit designed for testing electromagnetic immunity against interruption and variation of the power supply voltage acc. to IEC 61000-4-11. Demonstrating such immunity is generally a requirement of the European EMC directive, a necessary step leading to the final attachment of the CE mark.

The PFS-CE-16 is a compact EMC test unit designed for testing electromagnetic immunity against pulsed and conducted interference. Demonstrating such immunity is generally a requirement for compliance with the European EMC directive, a necessary step leading to the CE mark.
The simulation of voltage dips and voltage variations acc. to IEC 61000-4-11 can be included as an option. Additional accessories allow the testing of immunity against power frequency magnetic fields according to IEC 61000-4-8.
Optionally the PFS-CE-16 can include a triggerable power supply switch which allows the simulation of the voltage dips as specified in the standard IEC 61000-4-11. The variation of the power supply voltage is controlled by the use of an external motor-driven variance (VPS 250-16). The control of the external power source is included in the mainframe.
Combined with the external power source, the Induction Coil can be used to simulate power-frequency magnetic fields according to IEC 61000-4-8.
The PFS-CE-16 excels by its compact design, simple handling, and precise reproducibility of test impulses. It features a microprocessor-controlled user interface and a 7” touch screen unit for ease of use. The microprocessor allows the user to execute either standard test routines or a “user-defined” test sequence. A standard USB port provides the ability to print a summary of the test parameters as well as the results to a USB stick.
The software program CE-REMOTE allows full remote control of the test generator via Ethernet light guide as well as documentation and evaluation of test results, according to the IEC 17025. To record definite impulses, it is equipped with an Impulse Recording Function (IRF).
Moreover all generator functions including the built-in Coupling-/Decoupling Network, maybe computer-controlled via the isolated optical interface.
