The Harmonics & Flicker Generator 02 (HFG02) has been designed by York EMC
Services for the purpose of providing an easy and reliable way to externally check
the performance of measurement systems used for testing against the EN/IEC
61000-3-2 harmonics and interharmonics and EN/IEC 61000-3-3 flicker standards.
The HFG02 allows the user to periodically verify their test equipment and its
operation together, helping to ensure compliance with standards and laboratory
quality procedures.
The HFG02 provides a series of harmonic and flicker disturbances of a nominal
but stable level. The HFG02 may therefore be used to verify the stability of a
measurement system. Additionally, due to its own stability it may be used as a
transfer standard from a calibrated system, or be used as a repeatable source of
interference for diagnostic and/or development design work.
