–A350: Airbus A350 (ABD0100.1.8.1) Test, Rev B
The –A350 option supports several of the Airbus ABD0100.1.8.1 voltage and frequency immunity
tests in either of the AC or DC mode (if available).
The –A350 option is based on Airbus Directive 0100, Part 1, Chapter 8, Electric Install
(ABD0100.1.8.1) dated September 2007 (Rev B) for the Airbus A350. Section 1 refers to wiring,
installation and connectors and is outside the scope of the
–A350 option.
Future revisions of the ABD0100.1.8.1 directive may be issued over time and updates may be made
available to cover any changes in test levels, durations, procedures etc. Furthermore, the
–A350
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 relevant Airbus test standards.
6.1 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
6.1.1 MX Series –A350 Option Limitations
The extent of coverage of the –A350 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. Tests
marked with a „P‟ require arbitrary waveform capability, which is available on Pi models or base
models with the
–ADV option only.
Section 6.2.1.4 and Appendix D current harmonics measurements will require the use of an external
power analyzer per Figure B.14 of ABD0100.1.8.1 since the MX Series measurement system does
not support the required measurement bandwidth for this test. Furthermore, the MX Series does not
meet the required 1.25% maximum Vthd over the 360 to 900Hz frequency range required for the
distortion tests.
Note: The MX15 Series power sources are single-phase output only and therefore all three-phase
tests are not available on the MX15
Note that in order to support the required 900Hz for variable EUT testing, the –HF extended frequency
range option is required on the MX. Without this option, most of these tests cannot be run. For
constant frequency EUT test or DC test, the
–HF option is not required.
Note also that for EUT‟s with a nominal voltage of 230Vrms, the optional 400Vac output range, option
–HV is required to perform some of the voltage transient tests that require an output voltage higher
than 300Vrms AC. (Test 102 and 202 for 230V power groups) The available current on the
–HV range
is 25% lower compared to the 300V range so the MX power level should be sized accordingly to
support the EUT‟s to be tested.
