Revolutionising EMI EMC Testing with the DOW-CG1: A Game-Changer for Damped Oscillatory Wave Testing

EMCI Plus is proud to introduce the Damped Oscillatory Wave Generator (DOW-CG1), a cutting-edge, highly versatile solution that raises the bar in EMI EMC Testings and Damped Oscillatory Wave Testing. Designed with advanced engineering, the DOW-CG1 is tailored to meet the most stringent testing requirements for electromagnetic immunity, ensuring that your equipment is protected and performs optimally in the most challenging environments.

The DOW-CG1 features an innovative mainframe unit, equipped with a 7-inch capacitive touch display. This user-friendly interface displays waveforms at 1.2/50 μs, providing real-time visual feedback, making it easier for engineers to monitor and assess the integrity of their tests. The system controls Equipment Under Test (EUT) power with an output of up to 500V DC, and its robust design includes a current limit of 32 Amperes, ensuring that the EUT is safeguarded against damage during the testing process.

Incorporating the latest technology, the DOW-CG1 relies on a fast Ethernet network for seamless communication. This network integration streamlines the testing process, offering high-speed data transmission that improves test accuracy, efficiency, and overall system performance.

Key highlights of the DOW-CG1:

• IEC/ISO 17025 Accreditation: EMCI Plus has achieved IEC/ISO 17025 accreditation, one of the most globally recognized standards for laboratory quality management. This accreditation ensures that all test results are highly precise, repeatable, and traceable to international standards, offering confidence in the accuracy of every test.
• 3-phase Coupling/Decoupling Network (CDN): The integrated 3-phase CDN enables direct coupling of RF signals to the EUT, simplifying the testing process and allowing for more effective verification of equipment immunity to electromagnetic interference. This coupling capability ensures that equipment will function as intended, even in high-interference environments.
• IEC 61000-4-6 Compliance: The DOW-CG1 adheres to IEC 61000-4-6, an industry-recognized standard for Damped Oscillatory Wave Testing. This methodology ensures continuous calibration and eliminates the need for off-line inspections, improving both the accuracy and traceability of results. Testing under this standard provides a comprehensive assessment of equipment performance under real-world interference conditions.
• Closed-loop control system: With its advanced closed-loop control system, the DOW-CG1 improves productivity by minimising the need for external power amplifiers. This not only reduces equipment costs but also ensures that tests are conducted under stable and controlled conditions, further enhancing accuracy and reliability.
• EPOS Proprietary Firmware: The DOW-CG1 operates using EPOS proprietary firmware, which is equipped with 8 different menu languages. This multilingual capability makes the device accessible to users across various regions and industries, enhancing usability on a global scale.

Additional features include:

• Real-time monitoring and feedback: The DOW-CG1 continuously monitors and displays key parameters such as supply voltage, current, and frequency on its intuitive touchscreen interface. This real-time feedback allows operators to make informed decisions quickly, ensuring that test conditions are optimal at all times.
• Advanced Ethernet connectivity: The DOW-CG1 is designed with gigabit Ethernet connectivity, providing a high-speed communication channel for tests conducted on low-speed communication lines. This technology converts analog signals to digital, reducing the dependency on copper wiring and improving overall measurement accuracy.
• Versatile testing applications: The DOW-CG1 is ideal for testing power, control, and signal cables in high-voltage and medium-voltage stations. It is especially useful in the testing of critical infrastructure components such as Substation IEDs, transformers, and electricity metres, ensuring that these essential systems maintain immunity to electromagnetic interference.
