Greetings, 1. Can anyone provide specifications for a "worst case" real world AC power line condition in which an apparatus is expected to operate properly in (pass/criteria A)? This would encompass a combination of harmonics, voltage variations, frequency variations, etc..
2. Also, if anyone has a program for a California Instrument CTS system with a 5000ix power supply that could test for a "worst case" AC line condition, that would be helpful. I have heard that some companies have developed such a custom program to simulate poor power conditions >from different parts of the world. Such a program would operate with the the provided CIgui32 program. 3. Can anyone recommend an AC Power Line analyzer that we can just plug-in and it will analyze the AC power conditions at different customer locations? Then we could take the results and program our 5000ix power supply to simulate those conditions in our lab. The reason I'm asking is that from time to time we have experienced problems in the field due to with poor AC power line conditions at some customer locations even though we test and comply with the standard tests that are required for CE (surge, burst, dips, etc). We want to develop an internal test standard that will minimize problems in the field. Thank for any help or advice you can offer.
