Haefely PCD130 The Haefely PCD130 CDN, as part of the PSURGE 8000 system is tailored to meet IEC and EN standards to cover testing of 3 phase AC and DC power ports. These standards include recommendations for the coupling and decoupling component values within the CDN. These values are largely based on the European model for AC power lines. PCD 130 includes all the IEC and EN requirements with automatic coupling path switching. PCD 130 EUT output has specially designed 4mm connectors, which provide enhanced personnel safety in relation to the high voltage impulse.ANSI / IEEE standards are the reference for power line tests in many American standards such as TIA-968-A (FCC part 68) and Telcordia (Bellcore) GR-1089-CORE. The ANSI standard contains much the same information as the IEC but based around the American experience with AC power lines.Impedance of the low voltage mains supply to earth is simulated by the addition of a 10 ohm resistor for IEC tests. ANSI has NO series resistor in the impulse path This difference comes from the practice in Europe of connecting ground to neutral at the distribution transformer, not the power service entry as in the USA. The Haefely PCD 130 automatically sets the correct coupling elements for either IEC or ANSI as selected by the user.The integration in the WinFEAT&R control and reporting software package enhances an efficient set-up and operation of the Haefely PCD130. Most importantly, the test load can be transferred to a computer freeing valuable resources.Features of the Haefely PCD130 3-Phase Coupling / Decoupling Network include:
