Schaffner EMC Introduces First Automotive Component Testing System to Include Internal 100 A Coupler



Edison, NJ, September 2005 -- Schaffner, EMC, a leading provider of EMI components and EMC instrumentation and test systems, has introduced the first automotive electronic component testing system with an internal 100 A coupler. The system includes the NSG 5500 for testing capacitive discharge transient immunity, the NSG 5600 for testing supply voltage variation, and the PA 5840 battery simulator. The NSG 5500 features a cost-effective, internal 100 A battery switch.

The NSG 5500's unique internal 100 A coupler allows up to four times more EUT (equipment under test) supply current than industry standard 25A couplers and provides greater waveform accuracy than standard external couplers. It is ideal for users who test according to industry standards requiring more than 25 A. Because it is incorporated into the NSG 5500, the coupler eliminates the need for additional equipment, reducing the cost of the entire system. In addition, the modular NSG 5500 provides additional savings, since users can purchase and upgrade the system according to the standards they need, without buying an expensive new box for each standard.

The NSG 5600, which tests for supply voltage variation, can be used independently or in conjunction with the NSG 5500. The NSG 5600 is used for controlling a power amplifier for generating voltage variations based on pulse 2b and 4, sine wave noise and more. In addition, freely programmable exponential functions and a utility to store user-defined data sets, called Clones(TM) are also included. Clones can be built in Excel, MathCAD, imported from text or captured directly from an oscilloscope. The NSG 5600 can also perform complex voltage variations such as dips and drops testing, transformer coupled sinusoidal noise and magnetic field immunity.

Schaffner EMC's new PA 5840 provides battery simulation for both the NSG 5500 and the NSG 5600. The battery simulator provides a bandwidth more than three times greater than competitive amplifiers (150 KHz) and inrush current three times the continuous rating of 25 A, 50A and 100 A. The PA 5840 generates Pulse 2b, Pulse 4, sine wave noise and other complex simulations.

Pricing for a complete automotive testing system starts at $23,000. Delivery is six to eight weeks ARO.
