Test Setup Requirements
Safety:
This evaluation module is not encapsulated and there are accessible voltages that are greater
than 50 V
DC
.
Isolation Input Transformer:
A suitably rated 1:1 isolation transformer shall be used on the input(s) to
this EVM and be constructed in a manner in which the primary winding(s) are separated from the
secondary winding(s) by reinforced insulation, double insulation, or a screen connected to the protective
conductor terminal.
WARNING
If you are not trained in the proper safety of handling and testing
power electronics please do not test this evaluation module.
Read this user's guide thoroughly before making test.
Voltage Source:
Isolated AC source or variable AC transformer capable of 264 V
RMS
cable of handling
100 W
Voltmeter:
Digital voltage meter
Power Analyzer:
Capable of measuring 1 mW to 100 W of input power and capable of handling 264-V
RMS
input voltage. Some power analyzers may require a precision shunt resistor for measuring input current to
measure input power of 5 W or less. Please read the power analyzer’s user manual for proper
measurement setups for full power and for stand-by power.
Oscilloscope:
