I do not understand "source without distortion". Is this in reference to conducted emissions (i.e., 61000-3-2), or conducted immunity?
In any case, I am not aware of any "typical" specification for crest factor, and am not certain that this metric is applicable to modern component power supplies. Surges and transients, as specified by the GR-CORE, IEC61000-4-x, and other standards define mains input immunity requirements. Quote a standard/clause that must be met in order to survive the intended end-use; do not require the supplier to "nail jelly to a tree..." my opinions only. luck, Brian -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [ mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, June 13, 2003 3:57 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Crest Factor I'm trying to spec a power supply. Can someone provide me with a typical crest factor that a typical power supply should be able to source without distortion.? Thanks, Bob Heller
