I think that is the best advice you’ll receive Brian. (unless it is less expense to replace than to repair) Ralph From: John Woodgate <[email protected]> Sent: July 2, 2025 1:53 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [PSES] Flicker, Harmonics, and DIPS test equipment The standards, IEC 61000-3-2, -3, -11 and -12 are under revision (-11 later), so if you can get your existing instrument repaired, it will serve for a few years until the new standards are published and updated instruments are available. I should say that no huge technical changes are being made, but often the devil is in the detail. Quite a lot of revision of texts is involved, intended to add clarity. IEC 61000-3-10 on emissions in the range 2 kHz to 9 kHz is also progressing and will be published perhaps in 2028. A comprehensive test instrument might also allow those measurements.

I put in a request for repair but things have changed so much of the last 25-30 years, maybe it would be money better spent to buy something new. Any recommendations? (please reply off-line so not to violate any rules) Any warnings on what to avoid? For a system that will do up to 230V 16 amps per phase, what kind of money can I expect to pay? There are so many new players out there I am not sure who offers what, and I need to get the lab back up and running soon. Thanks to all for any advice or recommendations. The Other Brian
