What You’ll Learn:
AC Power Source Best Practices & Fundamentals
- Key functions and capabilities of programmable AC power sources
- Best practices for achieving accurate, repeatable test results
- Safety considerations and risk mitigation
- Common mistakes—and how to prevent them
- Setting up power source profiles for global AC standards and CE-marked products
- Compliance testing (IEEE1547.1, UL1547 SB, IEC/EN/GB 61000; MIL-STD 704, RTCA DO-160; SEMI-F47, and more)
EMC Compliance: Harmonics & Flicker Testing
