Generate and Analyze Standard Testing for Power Supply Quality: Determining How Equipment Is Affected Enables Better Protection and Greater Customer Satisfaction

Critical applications in aerospace, defense, and industrial segments demand reliable quality power sources. Test standards including IEC 61000-4-11, IEC 61000-4-14, IEC 610004-28, and MIL-STD-704F define power quality and the test procedures. IEC 61000-4-11 is the standard for testing immunity to voltage variations like dips, dropouts, sags, and interruptions; IEC 61000-4-14 tests for voltage fluctuations; and IEC 61000-4-28 addresses the immunity of devices to variations in the frequency of their ac power sources. MIL STD -704F defines power characteristics for aircraft systems. One solution to achieve stable power quality is to use a programmable ac power source that meets the parameters outlined by the test standards, satisfying the conditions for critical aerospace, defense, and industrial applications.
