Arrestor unit: Discharge voltage 90V

Lifetime of an arrestor is approximately 300 times of surge under the condition that 6kV surge
continues to inject, but the lifetime gets longer exponentially if the surge current gets smaller
since the lifetime depends on the surge output current. And besides, the load condition varies
the lifetime substantially.
If arrestors of the arrestor unit and the coupling arrestor unit deteriorate, surge is not injected
to EUT properly. Especially, the arrestors of the arrestor unit is installed for surge decoupling(to restrain surge back), therefore if they deteriorate, surge may return to EUT side. Fully be
careful to avoid such phenomenon.

Connection of Surge Output① Connect the supplied surge output cable to the surge output terminal【HOT】，【COM】on the surge
generation panel.

Surge output terminal【】② Put the protective cover on every AC/DC line output terminal AC/DC LINE OUTPUT which is not
used for the test.

AC/DC line output terminal
Connector cap③ Be sure to close the door of the telecom line injection panel (in case of C1/C3 type).
④ Connect EUT to the tip of the surge output cable. If the surge output cable and the connecting
part are worked for the test with insulation tubes, the surge test can be performed more safely.
However, it is necessary to use an insulated tube with dielectric strength of 15kV or more.
Moreover, as creeping discharge sometimes occurs on the surface of parts, it is also necessary totake into consideration the dielectric strength to creeping discharge.
Do not connect any power supply to the surge output terminal【SURGE OUTPUT HOT・
COM】directly. If an AC power supply or a DC power supply is connected there directly, the Unit
may be damaged.
Since all of the surge output terminals and doors of the Unit are detected by the interlock
system, the test cannot be started unless all of the terminals are covered by caps and doors
are closed. If the conditions are not satisfied, the screen indicates the caution.
An alligator clip is provided at the end of the surge output cable so that the cable can be easily
handled. However, the alligator clip does not satisfy safety and electric specifications. Cut thealligator clip and connect it to the terminal base or work it according to operating conditions on
the user to perform a test. In such cases, use a proper connector to meet dielectric strength of
15kV and short circuit current of 7500A.
When performing a test, maximum care for safety should be taken. When there is possibility
that the EUT could explode, fit a cover to the EUT to assure the safety of the users.

10-4. Connection for Applying Surge Waveform to AC/DC Line

Connection of AC/DC Line Input
Connection of Isolation Transformer
The power line injection unit of the Unit incorporates filters to prevent the surge from returning to thepower supply upstream (Those filter are referred to as "Decoupling Network" in the relevant IEC
standard.). It consists of LC filter and this simulator adopts L=1.5mH，C=10µF. Since the capacitorof this filter is provided between line and line, and between line and PE, electric current flows to thecapacitor when AC power is supplied to the AC line input part of this Unit. To eliminate the influenceof leak current inside the Unit, an isolation transformer should be provided between AC power
supply and the EUT line input.
The AC/DC line input cables should be prepared in the user side.
Be sure to use an isolation transformer between to supply to the EUT line in terminal of theUnit. If AC power is directly supplied without using an isolation transformer, the ground fault
circuit interrupter installed in the test site acts to OPEN the circuit. When wiring, be sure to turnoff power supply input to the insulation transformer beforehand.
Since residual voltage (maximum 1.5kV) occurs at the output terminal of the isolationtransformer, be sure to use the isolation transformer which is able to withstand this voltage.
Since residual voltage (maximum 1.5kV) occurs at the input terminal of the isolationtransformer, be sure to use the isolation transformer which is able to withstand this voltage.

① Before connecting, ensure that power supply to the EUT is turned off and that the Unit is in
OFF status.

② In case of connecting a DC power supply, connect it to the DC line input terminal block, in caseof connecting an AC single-phase or three-phase power supply, connect it to the AC terminal
block. Use the power supply cable which is conforming to the local standard and suited to the
EUT power handling capacity and connect it to the terminal after installing a φ 5 type solderingterminal to the cable. Refer to the figures on the next page.

③ The connecting points depend on the model number of the simulator and the power supply for
the EUT.

Connect voltage surge monitor terminal

monitor circuit and the current monitor circuit are isolated from the surge generating curccuit. As theelectric potential of GND of the monitor terminal is common with the chassis of this unit, safety issecured.

19-3. Notice for Observing at Monitor Terminal
For AC power supply for the oscilloscope, insert an isolation transformer. Do not connect PE
terminal of the oscilloscope.
Keep away a coaxial monitor cable from the surge output cable as far as possible. As shown in
the figure as below, the distance should be more than 5cm.

How to observe at Monitor Terminal
Ground the Unit securely with using 3pin AC cable with earth terminal. When the protective earth
cannot be secured through AC cable, connect PE terminal of the Unit to the earth terminal of the test
room with the supplied PE cable.

Fig. 19-1 How to observe waveform**The above figure shows the way to observe waveform of the surge output part. In case of theinjection output part, the basic concept is same as the above figure.

19. WAVEFORM VERIFICATION

15-4. Measurement

Ω

Set the probe input 1M on the oscilloscope and the ratio at 1:1. Set the voltage axis and time axisof the oscilloscope according to surge voltage (current) output. As monitor output ratio is VOLTAGE:
1/2000, CURRENT: 1000A/V, when surge voltage is 15kV, voltage monitor output is 7.5V, and whensurge current is 7500A, voltage monitor output is 3.3V. As for time axis, set at 20µs/DIV to observe
the entire waveform.
As the purpose of the monitor terminal is to observe waveform easily without any special probe, itcannot provide observation of great precision. And, besides, as both voltage and current are detected
at the surge output terminal, in case of injection out especially, actual waveform to EUT via theinjection part and cables is sometimes different form observed ones.
As the surge generating circuit of this unit is floated, if you try to observe output waveform
directly via a high voltage probe, you may receive an electric shock, or measurement
instruments may be damaged. Never do so. If you need to observe waveform directly, contact
Noise laboratory.

19-5. Why PE of Oscilloscope Should Not be Common with Earth of the Unit
A strong magnetic field generates on an output route by the surge current. If a closed circuit is madevia common GND between the monitor terminal and the oscilloscope, an induced electromotive force
will generate as the figure as the below shows. As a result, since the difference of electric potential
between the monitor terminal GND and the oscilloscope GND occurs, measurement error will bebigger. To prevent this phenomenon, a closed circuit between this unit and the oscilloscope should be
avoided.
