Atec Thermo Scientific-E501B User Manual
Ecat, Combination wave surge simulator, Model e501b
• Open-Circuit Voltage: 1.2/50
µ
s to >6kV peak
• Short-Circuit Current: 8/20
µ
s to >3kA peak
• Complete software-selectable test parameters,
including 10-ohm series output resistor for common
mode testing on AC lines per IEC 1000-4-5 (can be
in place or removed for all tests, or automatically
selected when common mode coupling is selected –
an additional ECAT coupler/decoupler is required
for surge testing on live AC mains).
• Ability to add a complete range of additional
modules:
– Surge and EFT simulator modules for all major
national and international standards, including the
E504 for UL 1449 low current waves, E502B for
FCC and Telecom requirements, and E506 and E509
for Bellcore 1089 tests.
– AC mains coupler/decouplers for single or
three-phase lines, to 600V rms, and 100A
continuous AC line current.
– I/O line coupler/decouplers for all types of lines,
including telecom and RS-232.
ECAT

Model E501B
Combination Wave Surge Simulator
A plug-in module for ECAT
systems to produce the combination
waves required by IEC 1000-4-5,
ANSI/IEEE C62.41 Cat. B and
UL 1449 (15 Aug 98) at 3kA.
FEATURES
• The ECAT is configurable as a compact,
standalone system with one test capability or as
an integrated, multiple capability tester.
• Unparalleled safety features for high voltage
testing, including a complete interlock system that not
only disables simulator operation if activated, but
completely removes AC mains power from the EUT,
when using any KeyTek AC mains coupler/decoupler.
• Automatic report generation using KeyTek’s
exclusive Windows
®
-based software.
• Modular system construction provides the ability
to upgrade test capabilities as requirements change
or evolve.
• Single port testing for Surge, EFT and PQF
™
mains
coupled disturbances allows changing test modes
without switching off power to the EUT. This avoids
lost time due to re-initializing the EUT between tests.
