flicker emissions compliance testing. The
system is controlled through a Windows
®
95/98 or NT User Interface which has been
designed for ease of use, the highest data
analyzing integrity and powerful test report
generation. Data analysis displays include
power analysis measurement and unique
graphs that assist in troubleshooting your
equipment.
INTEGRATED EST
SYSTEM
The EST system incorporates Elgar’s
powerful SmartWave AC Power Source
(SWAE) and the PA 1000 Analyzer with
proprietary applications software to deliver
the most accurate harmonic and flicker
compliance testing analysis and reporting.
It also can be used as a stand alone power
analyzer.
FEATURES AND
BENEFITS
■
SmartWave SWAE AC Power Source
with low impedance, 1750 VA,
3700 VA (16A at 230 VAC out) or
5250 VA single phase output power
■
DSP based PA 1000 Analyzer for
harmonics and flicker analysis and
power measurements

■
Optional Discrete Reference Impedance
The Elgar European Standard Tester (EST)
was designed for quick set-up, flexibility
and strict compliance to the standards.
Incorporating these features into the EST
offers users many advantages including:
■
Wizard Set-Up Screens: Guide
the user through the set-up process
using a standard Wizard format
■
On-line Context Sensitive Help:
Quickly helps the user configure any
test with little or no test experience,
using such tools as an on-line
manual, tool-tips and a “what is
this?” button
■
Flexible User Interface: Displays test
data in graphical and tabular forms
■
Unique Analysis Displays: Helps
the user efficiently troubleshoot the
equipment under test
■
Reporting with Tables and Charts:
Prints standard short and long
form reports
■
Data Integrity: Constant self-test
and self-monitoring ensures “no
gaps or overlaps” as required in
EN 61000-3-2 Annex B.4.2,
paragraph A.
■
Compliant AC Source: The output of
the SWAE is monitored to ensure it
meets the AC source requirements.
■
Immunity Testing: The SWAE
generates waveforms required by
EN 61000-4-13,-4-14,-4-28, 4-17,
and pre-compliance only for 4-11
Elgar has designed the European
Standards Tester (EST) for maximum
