New voltage spike requirement for A400M & A350XWB

Variable frequency generators are driving new test requirements for the A400M and A350XWB. Airbus specification AMD-24C addresses voltage spike testing on AC and DC power interfaces. EMC Partner's Fx-AMD24C, is a "plug and play" extension to the already popular MIG2000-6 test system which enables generation of 2/10us, 2/50us, 2/100us, 2/200us and 2/400us impulses from a single unit.

The 2/10us impulse can also be used for RTCA/DO160 section 17 and EUROCAE ED14 voltage spike tests. Impulses are superimposed simultaneously onto all power lines using the CN-MIGBT4 inductive coupling clamp.

Further modules can be added to extend the MIG2000-6 mainframe to include MIL-STD-1275B, DO160 section 17 & 19, Eurofighter CS4 and MIL-STD-461 CS106, CS115, CS116.
