1.3.10 Power line limits on EUT power input of TRA3000
Power line voltages greater than 280V and frequencies higher than 70Hz are the limit for the power
dissipation of the SURGE circuit. The TRA3000 measures the voltage and the frequency. When higher
voltages or frequencies are measured the following modes will be activated:
Gating Mode Gating Time Gating activated
0 No Gating F < 70Hz & V < 280Vrms
1 0.5 Seconds F < 70Hz & V >= 280Vrms
2 0.1 Seconds F >= 70Hz
Explanation of the gating mode:
The coupling path between the SURGE circuit and the power line will be opened and only closed during
Surge release.
Possible states during “RUN” modes:

1.3.11 Synchronisation of TRA3000 to mains frequencies
Synchronisation to EUT power input
A minimum voltage of 30V rms must be applied to the power input on the rear of the TRA3000 (PWR1 or
PWR2) to synchronize the Surge to the mains. The LED within the connector on the front panel indicates a
proper synchronisation.
