Atec Equipment
MODEL 8850-1 HIGH POWER SWEEP GENERATOR
for conducted audio frequency susceptibility testing
APPLICATION
The Model 8850-1 Power Sweep Generator was
developed in response to the demand for
increased audio voltage from a low impedance
source when performing CS01 Conducted
Audio Susceptibility tests per MIL-STD-461B/C
and CS101 conducted susceptibility test per
MIL-STD-461D and E. This high power unit is
especially suited for rapidly making tests in
the shielded room.
When used with the Type 6220-1A (or 6220-2)
Audio Isolation Transformer, the combination
enables the injection of sine wave audio voltages
into active power lines supplying power to an
Equipment Under Test (EUT).
DESCRIPTION
The Model 8850-1 Power Sweep Generator
provides audio power in a manually tuned
or sweeping mode for four frequency bands
covering 30 Hz to 100 KHz. Each band can be
swept for one minute, or all bands can be swept
in sequence for one minute. In the manual mode,
a tuning knob controls the output frequency.
Both the frequency in KHz and the output level
in volts r.m.s. are continuously displayed on two
digital meters on the panel.
When used in conjunction with the Type 7021-1
Phase Shift Network and the Type 6220-1A
Transformer, provision is made for sensing
the audio voltage being injected into the EUT
and displaying it on the digital panel meter. In
this arrangement, the unit maintains a constant
injection level (up to a maximum of 7.5 volts
r.m.s.) as frequency is scanned or swept.
Maximum power output of the unit into a
1.5 ohm resistive load is over 300 watts and 200
watts into 2.5 ohms. The output voltage into a 0.5
ohm load connected to the secondary of the
associated Type 6220-1A Transformer can be
adjusted to a level in excess of ten volts at 1.0 KHz.
FEATURES
s
Manual or automatic frequency sweep from 30
Hz to 100KHz.
s
Digital display of frequency and output
voltage level or injection voltage level.
s
Remote sensing of voltage being injected into
the Equipment Under Test.
s
Automatic leveling of output voltage as
frequency is scanned or swept.
s
Protective circuits prevent damage to output
stages caused by power frequency feedback in
typical a.c. test setups.
s
Low output impedance for greater transfer of
audio power.
s
Up to 300 watts output into 1.5 ohm resistive
load and 200 watts into 2.5 ohms.
