Power Line Distortion Testing (PLD)
Power Line Distortion testing allows testing
of a unit under test for immunity against
commonly occurring voltage and or
frequency anomalies. Such anomalies can be
programmed on the power source using one
of its transient modes. The CPS100 supports
three transient modes:
•
LIST
•
PULSE
•
STEP
The next paragraph describe the use of each
list mode in more detail.
6.9.1.1 List Transient Mode
The list mode is the most versatile of the
three transient modes and can do anything
the step and list mode can do and more. It
allows a sequence of events to be
programmed as a list.
Each list entry has set values for voltage,
frequency, ramp time, phase angles and
dwell times. The list executes sequentially so
a sequence of events can be programmed
using list mode.
The output change occurs when the transient trigger is generated, either from the front
panel or through some other means. The principle behind a list transient is illustrated
below. A series of voltage and or frequency changes can be defined using ramp and dwell
times for each of several steps. This list of steps is called a transient sequence or transient
list.
