CTS Series - IEC 61000-3-2 Harmonics Test
Simple User Interface
All IEC Harmonics tests can be accessed from a single
control and data display window on the PC. Both Quasi
Stationary and Transitory (Fluctuating) Harmonics tests can
be run. The operator is presented with a simple screen that
shows the type of test that will be run and the test duration.
Clearly labeled buttons are provided for Starting and Stop-
ping a test. During the test run, voltage and current time
domain waveform displays are updated in real time. The
left part of the display shows all power analyzer param-
eters for the EUT such as V
RMS
, I
RMS
, I
FUND
I
PEAK
, Real Power,
Apparent Power and Power Factor. The current harmonics
window displays instantaneous current harmonics and a
line marking the applicable test limits. During the entire test
run, a clear PASS or FAIL indication is provided. Any con-
ditions occurring during the test run that may affect the test
results can be displayed. This includes voltage THD of the
AC source, which is monitored during the entire test. Infor-
mation about the operator and the unit under test can be
entered. A general user comment field is provided to enter
any relevant data concerning the test. All this information is
added to the final test report.
Available Data Displays
The following graphics displays are provided in the IEC
61000-3-2 test program
• Voltage and Current time domain
• Current Harmonics and IEC limits graph
• AC Source Voltage Harmonics and IEC
limits graph
• Numeric display of F, V

Test Reports & Data Logging
A complete IEC harmonics test report, which includes all
test results for the EUT, can be printed at the end of the
test. This report includes graphs showing voltage and cur-
rent waveforms as well as current harmonic spectrum and
class limits. All graphs are included in the test report or can
be copied to the Windows
®
Clipboard for inclusion in cus-
tom reports. Comprehensive test data, including timing
waveform data, is available from disk for use in detailed
reporting or further data analysis applications. Data is stored
in ASCII format files that can be loaded directly in popular
spreadsheet programs. A test file replay mode is supported
by the CTS system software that allows frame by frame
playback of test data files for detailed analysis of EUT be-
havior.
Simple buttons start
and stop automated
test.
Key EUT electrical pa-
rameters are updated
continuously.
User selectable test
limit margin.
Test start time and test
progress are clearly in-
dicated.
Clearly marked Pass
(Green) or Fail (Red) in-
dication is active during
the entire test run. AC
Source distortion is
also monitored at all
times.
Graphs and reports
provide complete test
data documentation.
Both Voltage and
Current waveforms
are shown in real-
time. For class A
and D test, the spe-
cial waveshape tem-
plate (red) is shown.
Bottom graphs show
current harmonics
against IEC class
limits. The user can
also view the source
voltage harmonics
in real-time.
Equipment Under
Test description and
operator ID are
added to all test re-
ports.
