Introduction to Surge Immunity Testing

Surge immunity testing is a critical evaluation process in electrical and electronic product development, ensuring compliance with international standards such as IEC 61000-4-5, EN 61000-4-5, and GB/T 17626.5. These tests simulate transient overvoltages caused by lightning strikes, power grid switching, or electrostatic discharge, assessing a device’s resilience under extreme electrical stress.

Test İlkeleri ve Metodolojisi

Waveform Generation and Calibration

The SG61000-5 employs a high-energy capacitor discharge circuit to generate standardized surge waveforms. The 1.2/50 μs voltage surge simulates lightning-induced transients, while the 8/20 μs current surge replicates inductive load switching effects. Calibration is performed using precision oscilloscopes and current probes to ensure waveform integrity.

Coupling and Decoupling Networks (CDNs)

To evaluate immunity in real-world scenarios, the generator integrates CDNs that inject surges into power and signal lines without backfeeding into the mains. Testing configurations include:

• Line-to-Line (L-L) Coupling – Assesses differential-mode interference.
• Line-to-Ground (L-PE, N-PE) Coupling – Evaluates common-mode disturbances.

Faz Senkronizasyonu

The SG61000-5 features phase-selective surge injection, allowing surges to be synchronized with the AC power cycle (0°–360°). This is critical for testing devices with phase-sensitive components, such as power supplies and motor drives.
