Source Requirements

The IEC 61000-4-29 imposes certain requirements on the DC test generator used. Not all of these
requirements can be met with the iX Series AC/DC power source. The following restrictions
apply:

Capability

Standard Requirement

iX Series

Output voltage range

0 - 360 Vdc

0 - 300 Vdc

Output voltage variations under load

< 5 %

< 1 %

Ripple content

< 1 % of output voltage

< 1 V rms

Rise and fall time into 100 Ohm resistive
load

between 1 and 50 usec

0.3 V/usec

Over/undershoot into 100 Ohm resistive
load

< 10 %

< 2 %

Output current, steady state

up to 25 A

3001iX

10 A

5001iX

18.5 A

10001iX

37.0 A

Note: The use of a test generator with higher or lower voltage or current capability is allowed
provided that the other specifications are preserved. The test generator steady state
power/current capability shall be at least 20 % greater than the EUT power/current ratings.

This means that for many EUT's a 25 A capable generator is not needed. However, since the rise
and fall time requirements may not be met under all circumstances, this is a pre-compliance test
only.

For full compliance test applications, the test generator must be tested for compliance with the
test generator requirements.
