Model 8850-2 High Power Sweep Generator

for Conducted Audio Frequency Susceptibility Testing

APPLICATION

The Model 8850-2 Power Sweep Generator was developed in response to the demand for increased audio voltage from a low impedance source when performing CS101 conducted susceptibility test per MIL-STD-461D and E. This high power unit is especially suited for rapidly making
tests in the shielded room.

When used with the Type 6220-1A (or 6220-2) Audio Isolation Transformer, the combination enables the injection of sinewave audio voltages into active power lines supplying power to an Equipment Under Test (EUT).

DESCRIPTION

The Model 8850-2 Power Sweep Generator provides audio power in a manually tuned or sweeping mode for four frequency bands covering 20 Hz to 150 KHz. Sweep rate is 41/2 minutes per band, or 18 minutes for all bands in sequence. In the manual mode, a tuning knob controls the output frequency. Both the frequency in KHz and the output level in volts r.m.s. are continuously displayed on two digital meters.

 

 

When used in conjunction with the Type 7021-1 Phase Shift Network and the Type 6220-1A Transformer, provision is made for sensing the audio voltage being injected into the EUT and displaying it on the digital panel meter. In this arrangement, the unit maintains a constant injection level (up to a maximum of 7.5 volts r.m.s.) as frequency is scanned or swept.

Maximum power output of the unit into a
1.5 ohm resistive load is over 300 watts and 200 watts into 2.5 ohms.The output voltage into a 0.5 ohm load connected to the secondary of the associated Type 6220-1A Transformer can be adjusted to a level in excess of ten volts at 1.0 KHz.

FEATURES

  • Manual or automatic frequency sweep from 20 Hz to 150 KHz.
  • Digital display of frequency and output
    voltage level or injection voltage level.
  • Remote sensing of voltage being
    injected into the Equipment Under Test.
  • Automatic leveling of output voltage as
    frequency is scanned or swept.
  • Protective circuits prevent damage
    to output stages caused by power frequency feedback in typical a.c.
    test setups.
  • Low output impedance for greater transfer of audio power.
  • Up to 300 watts output into 1.5 ohm resistive load and 200 watts into
    2.5 ohms.
