Overview
The Spitzenberger 4-Quadrant Amplifier PAS 5000 for equipment intended to be connected to the 16A public low voltage network harmonic current limits are defined in the IEC/EN 61000-3-2. In the normative annex A2 of this standard the requirements for the voltage source under load conditions are defined. Point c) of the Annex A2 describes the limits of harmonic voltage components of the voltage source. The EUT has to be connected as in normal operation. This requirement has to be met during testing EUT’s of classes A ... D (EUT type classification of the IEC/EN 61000-3-2). Point d) describes the waveform (crest-factor!). The waveform crest-factor has to be taken in account, when testing EUT’s of class C and D of this standard.
