MIL-STD-461 CS117

CS117 Purpose

Conducted susceptibility, lightning induced transients, cables and power leads.

Military Standard 461 Version G's new section CS 117 requires multiple stroke surge testing using a lightning transient generator. This requirement is similar to the well established RTCA/DO-160 Section 22 lightning immunity test standard.

Test Equipment

The test equipment shall be as follows:

  • a. Lightning transient generator
  • b. Injection Transformers
  • c. Oscilloscope
  • d. Current monitor probes
  • e. Attenuators, 50 ohm, as needed on current monitor probes
  • f. Voltage monitor probes, high impedance
  • g. Monitor loop, low impedance wire loop
  • h. Calibration loop, low impedance wire loop
  • i. Capacitor, >28,000 µF for DC power inputs
  • j. LISN
