GENERAL

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.

FEATURES

- 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.
