Meet the CTS 4.0 Series, your ultimate solution for seamless compliance with EN IEC 61000-3-2 (Harmonics), EN IEC 61000-3-3 (Flicker), and various EN IEC 61000-4 AC and DC immunity tests. Designed for efficiency and reliability, this turn-key system ensures your products meet the highest standards. It includes an AC power source, a power analysis conditioning system (PACS), and a PC-based data acquisition system, compliant with IEC 61000-4-7. The Windows™-based CTS software performs IEC tests and generates detailed reports, with test data stored on disk for post-test analysis.
The IEC Compliance Test Systems - CTS Series implements several EMC-conducted emissions and immunity standards and provides a software-only upgrade path for future standard changes.
Alongside our CTSHL Series, the California Instruments CTS 4.0 is trusted by EMC labs worldwide for its reliability and advanced features.
