Environ Laboratories Expands Power Quality Testing Capabilities

November 2007

Environ has purchased equipment to meet the new requirements found in Section 16 “Power Input” of RTCA/DO160F (due for publication later this year), including the 270 Volt DC specifications.

We have significantly increased our capabilities in terms of voltage and current available to not only meet these new requirements, but also to allow us to handle very high voltage and/or high current tests. The maximum voltage and current capabilities of our new system are:

AC:

• 500 Volts (per phase)

• 250 Amps (3 phase)

• 750 Amps (1 phase)

DC:

• 700 Volts

• 1200 Amps

Our new system is extremely flexible, providing us the capability to provide Single-Phase and Three-Phase AC power at virtually any frequency.  In addition, for DC power quality testing, we can provide transients with extremely fast slew rates. Our new equipment also increases our capabilities for Power Quality testing in accordance with other commercial and military standards, such as MIL-STD-704 and DOD-STD-1399.

This upgrade complements our expanded HIRF and Lightning capabilities to offer unparalleled coverage of your EMI testing needs for the Aerospace and Military industries.
