Introduction

V-networks are devices that are used to measure disturbance voltages on mains-
dependent loads. For measurements, they are usually inserted between the power
supply and the equipment under test (EUT). The RF port provides the means to con-
nect them to a test receiver and analyze the EUT characteristics.

The main features of a V-network are to:

Supply the EUT with AC supply voltage or DC supply voltage.

Provide a standardized load impedance.

Isolate the test circuit from power supply disturbances.

Deliver unsymmetric disturbance voltage generated by the EUT to the test receiver
in a defined manner.

The R&S

 

ESH3-Z6 in particular is a single phase V-network that corresponds to a 5

 

µH

inductor. It complies to the requirements specified in CISPR 25.

Unpacking the R&S

 

ESH3-Z6

1. Carefully remove the R&S

 

ESH3-Z6 from the box it was delivered in.

2. Check the R&S

 

ESH3-Z6 for any damage.

Retain the original packing material. If the instrument needs to be transported or
shipped later, you can use the material to protect the control elements and connec-
tors.
