4.4.2  TRANSIENT EXECUTION (cont’d)

 

 

The basic process of creating a transient program is as follows. 
 

1.  From the V/I meter, press 

PROGRAM

, enter the program number, press 

ENTER

. 

 
2.  Press 

EDIT

.  Change steady-state values if desired, pressing 

ENTER

 after each entry. 

 
3.  Press 

EDIT

 again.  Change transient segment values if desired, pressing 

ENTER

 after each 

entry.  Setting T to 0 in the first segment makes the transient a cycle based transient.  
Continue pressing 

ENTER

 to create new segments. 

 
4.  Press 

STORE

.  Enter the number of desired events then 

STORE

 again. 

 
5.  Execute the program’s steady-state values by pressing 

PROGRAM, EXECUTE

. 

 
6.  Execute the program’s transient values by pressing 

TRANS

.  Pressing the 

TRANS

 key again 

will stop the transient if still active. 

 

 

4.4.2.1  MIL-STD-704D TRANSIENT PROGRAMS

 

 

The UPC is capable of producing the Voltage and Frequency excursions required by MIL-STD-704D. 
 
Programs 100-103 are permanent, pre-stored, non-executable transient programs.  These permanent 
programs may be copied to any of programs 1 - 99 for execution.  To copy programs see section 4.6.1.1. 
 
Program 100 is a MIL-STD-704D over voltage transient. 
 
Program 101 is a MIL-STD-704D under voltage transient. 
 
Program 102 is a MIL-STD-704D over-frequency transient. 
 
Program 103 is a MIL-STD-704D under-frequency transient. 
 
The four voltage and frequency programs are for equipment which is nominally powered by 115/200 
volts and a nominal Frequency of 400 Hz.  Transient program data is stated for over/under voltage and 
over/ under frequency tests as specified by paragraph 5.2.3 of MIL-STD-704D is provided in the 
following paragraphs. 
 
The data presented in this section is based on MIL-STD-704D dated 30 SEP 1980. 
 

NOTE:

  All four transients described are single event, 3 phase transients.
