APPLICATION

The Model 9354-1 & 9354-2 Transient Generators were especially designed for the performance of a variety of pulse susceptibility tests on subsystems and/or equipment, in accordance with MIL-STD-461D and E, method CS116; also capable of testing for RTCA DO160D, section 22; MIL-STD-461C, methods CS10 and CS11.

Through the use of many Solar accessories, including various reactive networks and coupling devices, as well as other commercially available items such as loop antennas, parallel plates, and TEM cells, the generated output may be modified and applied
to other specifications. (Contact Solar customer service for details.)

DESCRIPTION

Model 9354-1 & 9354-2 Transient Generator provides nine selectable waveforms, including six damped sinusoidal pulses (10 KHz, 100 KHz,
1 MHz, 10 MHz, 30 MHz, and 100 MHz) and three double exponential pulses (6.4 µS, 70 µS, 500 µS on 9354-1 and 120µS on 9354-2).

Auto pulsing of the sinusoidal repetition rate is internally adjusted from 0.5 to 1.0 pulse per second. A front panel-mounted push button can be used to manually trigger single pulses. The peak amplitude of the selected output pulse is adjustable as a percentage of the charge voltage.

The six damped sinusoidal waveforms
were designed to meet the requirements
of MIL-STD-461D and E, method CS116, when applied in accordance with the test method of MIL-STD-462D. Continuous tunable frequencies can be obtained by
the use of the optional variable frequency modules.

These same waveforms are applicable
to the requirements of MIL-STD-461C, methods CS10 and CS11, when applied
in accordance with the test method of
MIL-STD-462, Notice 5.

The 1MHz and 10 MHz damped sinusoidal waveforms have been extended to a peak open circuit voltage of 3200 volts and a calculated short circuit current of 128 amperes to meet the requirements of
RTCA DO-160E, Section 22, Table 22-2
and 22-3 waveform 3.

The three double exponential pulses were designed to meet the requirements of RTCA DO-160E, Section 22, Tables 22-2 and 22-3. Table 1 lists the test level that can be achieved from the Model 9354-1 and
9354-2.

FEATURES

• Panel-mounted digital voltmeter. Monitors the adjusted open circuit discharge voltage.
• Pulse rates up to two pulses per second maximum (factory adjusted).
• Single pulse feature enables controlled isolation of transient effects.
• Output voltage adjustable from 0.1% to 100% of selected discharge voltage.
