Overview
The LI-4100 Line Impedance Stabilization Network (LISN) provides the necessary measurement platform for performing power line conducted emissions compliance testing as required by most worldwide standards for commercial products. The LI-4100 is compliant with MIL-STD 461F.
The LISN provides defined stable impedance and isolates the EUT from power source influences, thereby providing accurate and repeatable results. The LI-4100 includes one pair of, separately housed, single-conductor networks, to be installed in series with each current-carrying conductor in a single-phase, dual-phase or DC power system. A second LI-4100 pair can be used to accommodate 3-phase power systems (Wye or Delta configurations).
The LI-4100 is equipped with Superior Electric SUPERCON® shrouded sockets at the mains (power input) and EUT (power output) ports. The matching color-coded plugs for connection to the mains and EUT wiring are included. This LISN uses air-core inductors to prevent saturation and permeability variation. The mounting plate of the LI-4100 is left unpainted in order to facilitate connection to earth ground in its installation, which is essential due to high leakage current.

Single Phase connection with one set of LISN
Three Phase connection with two sets of LISNs
Transient Protection
Use of a Transient Limiter for impedance matching, reduction of out-of-band emissions and transient protection for your measurement instrument is highly recommended and available from Com-Power.
Calibration
All LI-4100 LISNs are individually calibrated in compliance with the relevant requirements of MIL-STD 461F. Recognized ISO 17025 accredited calibration is also available upon request.
