The CE-TESTER is a compact EMC test unit designed for testing electromagnetic immunity
against pulsed and conducted interference. Demonstrating such immunity is generally a
requirement for compliance with the European EMC directive, a necessary step leading to the
CE mark.
In its basic configuration, the CE-TESTER includes an Electrical Fast Transient Generator
(EFTG), a Combination Wave Generator (CWG) and a Coupling-/Decoupling Network (CDN)
for single-phase power supply lines.
The Electrical Fast Transient Generator fully compliant to IEC 61000-4-4, delivers fast
transient pulses with waveform 5/50 ns and a maximum burst frequency of 1 MHz. It is used
for immunity testing of electronic systems and devices. The four standard IEC 61000-4-4 test
levels may be easily selected by push button or all parameters may be adjusted individually.
The Combination Wave Generator fully compliant to IEC 61000-4-5 and IEEE 587 delivers a
standard impulse voltage with waveform 1.2/50 µs and a standard impulse current with
waveform 8/20 µs. It is a combined impulse-current-/impulse-voltage generator for high-
impedance loads RL > 100Ω and may be used for surge testing of components and devices,
as well as for galvanic coupling of surges to cable shields, shielded enclosures and cabinets.
The built-in capacitive Coupling-/Decoupling Network allows superimposition of the
combination wave generator output to the mains voltage of the device under test.
The simulation of voltage dips and voltage variations acc. to IEC 61000-4-11 can be included
as a option. Additional accessories allow the testing of immunity against both pulsed and
power frequency magnetic fields according to IEC 61000-4-8 and IEC 61000-4-9.
