Description

Precision Harmonics and Flicker Testing for IEC/EN 61000-3-X Compliance

The Harmonics & Flicker Test System from Absolute EMC delivers a complete and automated platform for compliance with IEC/EN 61000-3-2, 61000-3-3, 61000-3-11, and 61000-3-12 standards. Available in 30kVA (43A) and 50kVA (75A) configurations, this solution is ideal for manufacturers, test labs, and R&D teams testing power-intensive devices for grid compatibility.

What’s Inside the System?

The test setup includes three core components:

1. TC.FLK75.2WR.S – Flicker Impedance Network
Provides standard-compliant impedance for precise flicker testing.

  • Supports 3×400/230 VAC and 3×380/220 VAC
  • Handles up to 75 A continuous current
  • Easy switching between Zref and Ztest impedances
  • Mounted in a mobile 19” rack enclosure

2. TC.ACS Series – Regenerative AC Power Supplies
Available in 30kVA and 50kVA models to simulate real-world voltage and current profiles.

  • Adjustable voltage, frequency, and phase
  • Real-time simulation of harmonic and interharmonic voltages
  • Programmable up to 1000 Hz with fast response
  • Regenerative design for energy-efficient operation

3. Precision Power Analyzer
Delivers comprehensive data for compliance verification.

  • 6-channel AC U/I analysis
  • Harmonic and flicker metering per EN 61000-4-15
  • Long-term recording with 256 GB memory
  • Rack-mountable for seamless integration

Built for Advanced Testing Scenarios

This Harmonics Flicker Test System is engineered for more than just compliance. Its modular, programmable nature supports:

  • Grid simulation and inverter testing
  • OBC (on-board charger) and power converter validation
  • Renewable energy systems: solar, wind, battery storage
  • Medical and industrial electronics verification
