Outline of Immunity Test
An immunity test generates a test signal using a voltage generator, applying it to theequipment under test (EUT). EUT operations are classified into the following four
performance levels in terms of functional loss or performance degradation in order
to assess the test results.
The classification criteria are the performance levels specified by the agreement
between the equipment manufacturer and a test requester, or between the equipment
manufacturer and a purchaser.
a) Normal performance within the specification limits specified between the
manufacturer and a test requester or purchaserb) Temporary functional loss or performance degradation resolved after
interference has been removed. EUT automatically regains normal performance
without operator intervention.
c) Temporary functional loss or performance degradation that requires adjustment
with operator interventiond) Unrecoverable functional loss, performance degradation, or data loss caused byhardware failure or software corruption
Quick Immunity Sequencer can be used for testing according to the standard. Since
it allows test conditions to be extended and set, it can also be used for preliminary
tests conducted before actual testing for the standard, immunity allowance tests, orstress tests.

■ Items not conforming to the standard's requirements
Certain Quick Immunity Sequencer items do not conform to the standard's
requirements in the test configuration, including the hardware. For more
information, please refer to the chapter relating to the standard in question.

■ Three-phase operations
The test conditions are all set in relation to phase U. Test signals change
simultaneously in three phases on the basis of phase U. Note that for IEC
61000-4-27 (unbalance), although a test signal can be set on a phase basis,
there is a time lag in the test signal between phases. For IEC 61000-4-29(Voltage dips, Short interruptions, and Voltage variations for DC power
inputs), there are no settings for the three phases.
NOTE• The IT01-PCR-L immunity tester cannot be used in three-phase operations with
Quick Immunity Sequencer.

2.8

Running a Test
A test is conducted by running sequences of the seq tabs selected using thecheckboxes in turn, starting with the smallest numbered seq tab. The test disregards
seq tabs that have not been selected.
In an example of the figure shown on the left, Seq 1 to Seq 7 are run in turn.
Because the repetition count for all sequences (Repeal all) is "1," the test halts when
the sequences are run up to Seq 7.
Since the Seq end-Output off checkbox has not been checked, output remains
enabled at the end of the test.

NOTE

2.8.1

• A transition between the seq tabs takes approx. 1.3 seconds. Accordingly, therepetition interval at the end requiring a transition between the seq tabs is equal to
the set value plus approx. 1.3 seconds.
• For testing according to the IEC 61000-4-27 standard, a transition between seq
tabs will take several seconds. For more information, please refer to "Interval(repetition interval)" in 6.2, Preparing the Test Conditions.

Sequencer and the hardware to abort testing. For better protection of the EUT, we
recommend aborting via hardware.

■ Operating Quick Immunity Sequencer
Click the F9 function key or the Abort button on the toolbar to abort testing.
The AC Power Supply PCR-LA output is also turned off.

■ Operating the hardware
Turn off the AC Power Supply PCR-LA POWER switch.

2.9

Observing a Test Signal
When observing a test signal using an oscilloscope, use the trigger signal output
described below. For trigger signal output from the AC Power Supply PCR-LA, a
trigger signal selected under the test conditions for each standard is output. The
IT01-PCR-L's trigger signal output is not related to a trigger signal selected in thetest condition setting for each standard.

■ Trigger signal output from the AC Power Supply PCR-LA
A trigger signal is output from the SEQ TRIG OUT terminal (BNC connector) at therear of the AC Power Supply PCR-LA. A low-level signal is output for several 10 μs
at a location on the waveform where trigger signal output has been specified. The signal
level in cases other than signal output is approx. +5 V. The low level is approx. 0 V.
The BNC connectors are isolated from the INPUT and OUTPUT terminal boards of
the AC Power Supply PCR-LA. However, the line for each signal of the PEAK INIT
IN, SEQ TRIG OUT, and SEQ STAT OUT terminals (BNC connectors) is shared in
the AC Power Supply PCR-LA and is not isolated. The BNC connectors are also notisolated from the SLOTs' internal circuit. Note the slight time lag (approx. 100 μs)
between the trigger signal output and actual output change.

Chapter 4 IEC 61000-4-13
Describes Harmonics and interharmonics immunity tests according to the IEC
61000-4-13 standard.

SD003-PCR-LA

IEC 61000-4-13 4-1

4.1

Outline of the Test
The Harmonics and interharmonics immunity tests determine the equipment's
immunity against distortions in supply voltage waveforms. Shown below are thespecific tests that comprise these immunity tests:• Flat curve• Over swing• Sweep in Frequency• Odd harmonics, non-multiples of 3
• Odd harmonics, multiples of 3
• Even harmonics• Interharmonics• Meister curve■ Test sequence
The tests that determine compliance with the standard provide therecommended test sequences in flowchart form for each test. To enable greater
flexibility in preliminary tests and other tests, Quick Immunity Sequencer does
not adopt these sequences. Instead, Quick Immunity Sequencer is designed toallow each test to be performed independently.

■ Electromagnetic environment classes
Quick Immunity Sequencer does not specify an electromagnetic environment
class or assume it to be a setting condition. An electromagnetic environment
class for test conditions should be set at the user's discretion.

■ Items not conforming to the standard's requirements
Certain Quick Immunity Sequencer items do not conform to the standard's
requirements in the test configuration, including the hardware. The following
table shows these items and the performance achieved in the test configuration.
ItemStandard's requirements

Frequency sweep method
This test uses the AC Power Supply PCR-LA's waveform banks. The
waveform banks are memory for storing special waveforms. Up to 14 types ofwaveforms can be used. Quick Immunity Sequencer goes from frequency tofrequency among the harmonic frequencies stored in the waveform banks toperform a stepwise sweep.
Determining sweep frequencies
Specify the sweep frequencies by harmonic orders, that is, integral multiples ofthe fundamental frequency. This means that the sweep frequency step must be
an integral multiple of the fundamental frequency.

SD003-PCR-LA

IEC 61000-4-13 4-9

NOTE• As shown in Fig. 4-4, the sweep frequency step is an integral multiple of thefundamental frequency. Because the frequency changes significantly, comparedwith the standard's requirements, this feature can be used only in preliminary tests.

class for test conditions should be set at the user's discretion.

■ Items not conforming to the standard's requirements
Certain Quick Immunity Sequencer items do not conform to the standard's
requirements in the test configuration, including the hardware. The following
table shows these items and the performance achieved in the test configuration.

Sequences to run
Check the corresponding checkboxes of the seq tabs whose test conditions are used
to run a test sequence. Test sequences are run in turn starting at Seq 1. Seq tabs
whose corresponding checkboxes have not been checked are not used to run a test.

[9]

Seq end-Output off
When this checkbox is checked, a test signal is turned off at the end of sequencerunning. (the AC Power Supply PCR-LA output is turned off.)[10] Adrs
To implement the Voltage fluctuation immunity test, Quick Immunity Sequencer
uses the AC Power Supply PCR-LA sequence function. This sequence function canaccommodate up to 100 addresses (adrs).
For Voltage fluctuation, 18 sequence addresses are used for one seq tab, while twosequence addresses are used for one seq tab for Interval. If six or more of the seq
tabs for which Voltage fluctuation is specified are selected in the running sequence,
the number of sequence addresses will exceed 100.
If this Adrs indicator bar is displayed in red, the number of the sequence addresses
has exceeded 100, disabling transmission of the test condition data.
In this case, reduce the number of the seq tabs selected for sequences to run until theindicator bar changes to green, so that the number of sequence addresses becomes
100 or less.

Outline of the Test
The Power frequency variation immunity test determines the equipment's immunity
against Power frequency variations.

■ Electromagnetic environment classes
Quick Immunity Sequencer does not specify an electromagnetic environment
class or assume it to be a setting condition. An electromagnetic environment
class for test conditions should be set at the user's discretion.

■ Three-phase operations
The test conditions are all set in relation to phase U. Test signals change
simultaneously in three phases on the basis of phase U.
