WARNING - The test area must be organized so that unauthorized persons do not have access during the execution of a test. If a safety contact (Interlock) is used as a means of access control to the test zone (e.g. a Faraday cage), then an additional contact connected in series is necessary to provide protection for parts of the EUT that are likely to be touched accidentally.

During a test, the EUT together with its accessories and cables are to be considered live at all times. The test system must be stopped and the EUT supply disconnected before any work can be carried out on the EUT. This can be achieved simply by opening the interlock circuit.

The EUT is to be tested only in a protective cage or under a hood which provides protection against electric shock and all manner of other dangers pertaining to the particular EUT (see: User warnings - Generator).

The user must observe safety instruction for all the instruments and associated equipment involved in the test setup.

Test setup configuration is to be strictly in compliance with the methods described in the relevant standard to ensure that the test is executed in a compliant manner.

4.5 Test execution

20


WARNING - Users must be aware of the following dangers that can occur during testing:

Local burning, arcing, ignition of explosive gases.

EUT supply current surge caused by a flashover or breakdown resulting from the superimposed high voltage.

Disturbance of other, unrelated electronics, tele-communications, navigational systems and hear pacemakers through unnoticed radiation of high frequency energy.

In the test system the interference voltage, corre-sponding to the level called for in the relevant test specification, is superimposed also on the EUT’s protective earth conductor. Earth contacts or pins (e.g. as in German and French mains plugs) as well as the EUT earth itself can therefore be at an elevated voltage level that would make touching dangerous. In many power connectors even the screws are linked to the protective earth.

4.6 User warnings - Generator

CAUTION! Warning of a danger spot (refer to the documentation).

Warningsymbolsonthetestsystem:

Caution! Warning of electrial hazards!

21

WARNING - Users must be aware of the following dangers that can occur during testing:

EUTs are often functional samples that have not yet been subjected to safety tests. It is therefore possible that the EUT could be damaged by internal overloads or may even start to burn.

As soon as the EUT shows signs of being disrupted the test should be stopped and the power to the EUT switched off.

Internal disruption of the electronics can result in the interference voltage or the EUT supply voltage being present on the EUT’s outer casing.

Electrical breakdown or arcing from connections that are overstressed voltagewise during the test.

Explosion of components with fire or fragmentation as a result of energy dissipated, e.g. from the resul-tant supply current or ignition of vaporized plastic materials.

Faulty behaviour by the EUT, e.g. a robot arm strikes out or a temperature controller fails, etc.

The user is responsible to control the rating and the integrity of all cables connected to the NSG 3040 generator, especially cables connected to the Surge/SOW output, Burst output or EUT Power output.

Good EMC engineering practises should be applied when connecting signals to this port. As the whole system generates disturbances, in order to avoid auto disturbing, all wires connected to this port should be properly shielded, the shield of the cable not serving as signal return path, the shield to be connected via a large surface to the conductive shell of the Sub-D plug.

Because of the capacitors in the internal coupler of NSG 3040, earth leakage currents of up to 4 A can occur in the EUT power supply network. The test system must therefore be correctly earthed and be powered from a supply that is not protected by a residual current detec-tor (RCD).

The equipment should be switched off during installa-tion and interconnection.

Because of the capacitors in the internal coupler of NSG 3040, earth leakage currents of up to 4 A can occur in the EUT power supply network. The test system must therefore be correctly earthed and be powered from a supply that is not protected by a residual current detec-tor (RCD).
