Production Line Hipot Test for Network Powered Equipment

2001-11-28 Thread Jerry Martin

Hello PSTC members! 

I'm working on a product that is telecom network powered (-190 Vdc) and will 
most likely require a production line hipot test. Being network powered, it is 
exposed to outside plant surges and has transient protection designed in (fuse 
and sidactor). 

UL's Follow-up Services gray pages states that Transient voltage suppresion 
devices other than capacitors connected from primary wiring to dead metal may 
also be disconnected during the test. 

Will a production line hipot test be required? 

Has anyone had experience with this and how do you go about removing soldered 
sidactors to do the hipot test? It seems like this would be an extra step in 
the manufacturing process. 

All comments/opinions are welcome. 

Thank you, 

Jerry

Jim,

Thank you very much for the information.  Do you have a recommendation on
the Omron types?

Regards,

Jerry

You can order programmable relay controllers from Newark or Allied
electronics.  Omron makes some good ones for this test.  They run 
about
$150.

The inductor will have to be custom built using E and I cores and 
if
done correctly will weigh about 75 to 100 pounds (assuming you need to
source any amount of current over a few amps).

Good Luck,
Jim

 Subject: SBC TP76200MP DC Power Requirements
 
 Does anyone have any experience with SBC's TP76200MP document?
 
 I'm specifically looking for information on how to do some of the 
tests
 in Section 8 DC Power.
 
 Where can I get/make an Electronic Switch/Relay of Figures 8-3 and 
8-5?
 
 Where can I get/make the 0.08 H inductor?
 
 Any help is appreciated.
 
 Thanks,
 
 Jerry

Lightning and Power Cross Testing

1997-08-01 Thread Jerry Martin
I've been asked to test a network powered (-130 Vdc) product to
GR-1089-CORE for lightning and power cross.  

Does anyone out there have any suggestions on how to do this testing
while the product is powered?

The problem is that if you apply 1000 V, 10/1000 uSec, 100 A to tip/ring
while the product is powered, you will damage the power source.  I've
looked into using series inductance followed by an MOV and capacitor, but
I'm not sure if all the energy is getting to the UUT.  Another problem is
that my tester applies a short to tip and ring prior to the application
of the test voltage.

The same problem doing power cross (600 Vac, 1 A, 1 Sec).  Applying this
kind of voltage to the power source will damage it.  Is there a way for
the UUT to remain line powered and provide protection to the power
source?

Has anyone had similar problems?

Thank you very much for any suggestions.

Jerry


ADSL Modem and FCC Part 68

A quick question on ADSL modems:

Do they have to meet Part 68 requirements?

Thank you,
