Pearson Electronics is pleased to introduce several products to assist with MIL-STD-461. The model 8700i injection probe and 8705C current probe are designed for CS 114, 115 and 116, plus other EMC standards. Features include a 10 kHz to 400 MHz bandwidth, 100 watt input power rating for the 8700i, and a compact design which allows one fixture to hold both probes in support of MIL-STD-461G. The Powerline Ripple Detector, Models PRD-120 and PRD-240, greatly simplifies the measurement of injected ac ripple for CS 101 in MIL-STD-461G. Both are used with a spectrum analyzer, which has a distinct advantage over an oscilloscope due to its wider dynamic range allowing for a more accurate amplitude measurement of the ripple voltage.
Pearson Wide Band Current Probes are used for accurate and precise measurements of EMI, surge, lightning, pulse and other complex current wave shapes. The model 3525 has a 6 decade flat transfer impedance, 10 Hz to 10 MHz, for EMI measurements. Other probes measure current as low as 10 micro amps (20 dBµA) and frequencies as high as 400 MHz. Lightning and surge currents with amplitudes up to 500 kilo amps can be viewed with low sensitivity designs. A typical measurement is an 8×20 or 10×350 microsecond pulse. The Pearson model 4160, with its 50 kAmp peak current rating and fast rise time, is another excellent choice for the lightning susceptibility tests required in RTCA/DO160. Stop by booth 426 to see what Pearson product will best meet your requirements.
