7 Option
–ABD: Airbus ABD0100.1.8 Test, Rev D, E
The -ABD option supports several of the Airbus ABD0100.1.8 voltage and frequency immunity tests in
either of the AC or DC mode (if available).
The –ABD option is based on Airbus Directive 0100, Part 1, Chapter 8, Section 2 (ABD0100.1.8)
dated August 2002 (Rev D) or 2005 (Rev E). Section 1 refers to wiring, installation and connectors
and is outside the scope of the
–ABD option.
Future revisions of the ABD0100.1.8 directive may be issued over time and updates may be made
available to cover any changes in test levels, durations, procedures etc. Furthermore, the
–ABD
option is completely data file driven to allow a large degree of customization by the end-user if needed
so many changes can be supported without the need for software updates.
This section of the manual explains the limitations of this test option, the use of special features
unique to this option, and gives a complete layout of all tests performed by this option.
This manual is not intended to elaborate on the intent or purpose of the immunity tests and the
expected behavior of the EUT as described in the ABD0100.1.8 documents. It is assumed that the
end-user is familiar with the content of the ABD test standard.
7.1 Test Coverage
The comprehensiveness of the tests that can be performed with the –ABD option is determined
primarily by the capabilities of the power source used. Tests that are outside the hardware capabilities
of the power source used will not be enabled and cannot be selected. For these tests, additional
equipment may be required as indicated
7.1.1 MX Series –ABD Option Limitations
The extent of coverage of the –ABD option as implemented on the MX Series platform is shown in the
table below. Tests marked with an „x‟ generally require additional hardware to be used. Also, section
2.4.2.6 Current harmonics will require the use of an external power analyzer per Figure 11 of
ABD0100.1.8 since the MX Series measurement system does not support the required measurement
bandwidth for this test. Tests marked with
a „P‟ require arbitrary waveform capability, which is
available on Pi models or base models with the –ADV option only. Furthermore, the MX Series does
not meet the required 1.25% maximum Vthd over the 360 to 800Hz frequency range required for the
distorted voltage test No. 10.
Note: The MX15 Series power sources are single phase output only and therefore all three phase
tests are not available on the MX15.
