Line Impedance Stabilization Network
LI-400
Features
Frequency range of 10 kHz to 10 MHz
Fully compliant with MIL-STD 461
“Air-core” inductors to prevent saturation
Individual Calibration Included
Three-Year Warranty
The LI-400 Line Impedance Stabilization Network
(LISN) provides the necessary measurement
platform for performing power line conducted
emissions compliance testing as required by most
worldwide standards for commercial products.
The LI-400 is compliant with MIL-STD 461.
The LISN provides defined stable impedance and
isolates the EUT from power source influences,
thereby providing accurate and repeatable results.
The LI-400 includes one pair of, separately housed,
single-conductor networks, to be installed in series
with each current-carrying conductor in a single-
phase, dual-phase or DC power system. A second
LI-400 pair can be used to accommodate 3-phase
power systems (Wye or Delta configurations).
The LI-400 is equipped with Superior Electric
SUPERCON® shrouded sockets at the mains
(power input) and EUT (power output) ports. The
matching color-coded plugs for connection to the
mains and EUT wiring are included.
This LISN uses air-core inductors to prevent
saturation and permeability variation. The
mounting plate of the LI-400 is left unpainted in
order to facilitate connection to earth ground in its
installation, which is essential due to high leakage
current.
Use of a Transient Limiter for impedance matching,
reduction of out-of-band emissions and transient
protection for your measurement instrument is
highly recommended and available from Com-
Power.
All Com-Power LISNs are individually calibrated
in compliance with the relevant requirements of
MIL-STD 461. Impedance and Insertion Loss data is
supplied with each unit, along with the calibration
certificate.
