NoiseKen VDS-220B - Voltage Dip Simulator

NoiseKen VDS-220B: Electromagnetic noise is a well known cause of malfunction in digital equipment. In addition, momentary power failure (blackout) and power supply voltage fluctuation (brownout) also cause equipment malfunction. If the power supply voltage drops below the prescribed value for more than a few tens of milliseconds, an electronic device can hardly operate normally. When momentary power failure or voltage drop occurs in the power-transmission line, it usually takes about 0.07 second at the soonest before recovery. This 0.07 second of power failure or voltage drop is time enough to affect computer systems. Such power failures and voltage fluctuations are brought about by various causes (e.g. lightning strikes, accidents involving power lines, and the lack of proper maintenance of adjacent equipment.) Entirely preventing these various causes is impossible. With this in mind, the importance of testing electronic devices for susceptibility to momentary power failure and voltage drop is ever-increasing. Our VDS series is valuable as an evaluation device corresponding to present-day conditions. 

• Dip amount can be varied as desired independent of a change in load current, as a slide transformer is employed.
• Dip amount can be easily set with the DIP ADJUST knob (slide transformer control) while referring to the front panel voltmeter. In addition, the output voltage and current to the equipment under test can be monitored from the adjacent meters.
• Dip and interval cycles can be easily set with digital switches.
• An external trigger signal (TTL negative logic) can start and stop the test sequence. The simulator can also provide trigger signal for oscilloscope monitoring.
• Combined with the INS series Impulse Noise Simulator, the VDS series reproduces noise environments more similar to actual field events.
