Hi, Brent, From the work I did in the NW I'd say they need to add 16 2/3 Hz to it; the papers on AED susceptibility to railway power fields were a little scary -- for folks in train stations, anyway. Cheers, Cortland Richmond On 8/21/2012 0003, Brent G DeWitt wrote: Re: [PSES] 61000-4-3

Hello, I can't find any clauses in 61000-4-3 (radiated RF immunity) that deal with the rate of application of the RF field. My understanding is that the test is generally performed by setting the unmodulated carrier to the level contained within the calibration file and then suddenly

James- We do IEC 60255-22-3, which is the version of IEC 61000-4-3 for protective relays. Looking at IEC 61000-4-3, I see no specifics about rate of application of the RF field, nor application of the amplitude modulation. In our testing, the RF with amplitude modulation present is suddenly

Ed, WRT imperfect techniques... At a former employer I added a -50dB tap in line and looked at the RF with a 6 GHz 'scope. This let us see RF peaks were at calibration level, but as some signal generators were incapable of PM we had to use AM and level on the carrier, then modulate to get
