Damped Oscillatory Wave tests have been
developed at Cranage in co-operation with the National Grid Company plc.
Pulsed and Damped Oscillatory Magnetic Field tests are also facilitated
at Cranage to meet the requirements of BS EN61000-4-9 (up to 1000A/m)
and BS EN61000-4-10 (up to 100A/m).
BS EN61000-4-12: Damped Oscillatory Wave
These tests are intended to simulate the effects of switching with restrike
of the arc, e.g. disconnector operation and are applied on cables used
for cross site connections of analogue signals, including HV and telecomms
equipment. AC and DC supply inputs are also included.
