Product catalog summary
Overview
The document provides a comprehensive overview of ZES ZIMMER compliance test systems, specifically focusing on the CE-Test61k and CE-Test-Standby. These systems are designed for testing electromagnetic compatibility and standby power consumption in line with European standards and directives.
Harmonic and Flicker Testing
The CE-Test61k system is tailored to assess products for interference with power distribution systems due to current harmonics and flicker. It complies with EN 61000-3-2/-12 and EN 61000-3-3/-11 standards, measuring disturbances in the 2 kHz to 9 kHz frequency range as per EN 61000-4-7 annex B. This ensures devices meet CE mark requirements by verifying conformity to these standards.
Standby Power Consumption Testing
The CE-Test-Standby system evaluates the power consumption of devices in standby mode, ensuring compliance with the EU directive on ecodesign 2009/125/EU and regulation 1275/2008, in accordance with IEC/EN 62301. It incorporates precision power measurement devices and sensors for testing within broader efficiency or consumption measurement systems.
Standards and Compliance
The document outlines standards for electromagnetic compatibility, focusing on current harmonics and flicker. It details device classification into classes A, B, C, and D based on emissions, specifying measurement methods and limits crucial for CE mark acquisition.
Measurement and Testing Procedures
The testing setup involves precision power analyzers (LMG95 and LMG500) and reference impedances. The document emphasizes the need for a stable power source and defined reference impedance for accurate flicker measurement, highlighting the importance of normalized line impedance for reproducible results.
Product and Software Offerings
Various hardware and software packages are available for the CE-Test61k system, including options for current harmonics analysis and reference impedances. The CE-Test-Standby software is also mentioned for measuring standby power consumption.
Environmental and Ecodesign Compliance
The document discusses directive 2009/125/EU, setting ecodesign requirements for energy-related products to reduce environmental impact and achieve energy savings. It specifies regulations for different product categories, detailing efficiency, consumption, and standby performance requirements.
Specifications
The document lists various models of AC sources, detailing their apparent power output, number of phases, continuous current per phase, and frequency range. For instance, the PWM AC source model 801 RP has an apparent power output of 0.8 kVA, operates on a single phase, and supports a continuous current of 3 A within a frequency range of 16 to 500 Hz.
Linear Power Sources
Linear power sources are recommended for minimal distortion, high frequency bandwidth, low output impedance, and high current range without voltage distortion. They prevent interactions between the output filter and the device under test.
Technical Features
A simplified diagram illustrates the conversion of unregulated and distorted AC voltages into regulated and undistorted AC through PWM and linear amplifiers.
Contact Information
ZES ZIMMER's contact details for their headquarters in Germany and subsidiary in the United States are provided.
Conclusion
ZES ZIMMER compliance test systems offer comprehensive solutions for testing electromagnetic compatibility and standby power consumption, ensuring products meet European standards and directives for CE marking and ecodesign compliance.

Requirements for the CE mark Electrical installations, systems and devices which are to be marketed within the European Union (EU) must comply with the European Union directives and regulations. The manufacturer resp. the importer is obliged to verify and mandatorily declare this with the CE mark. Amongst others, directives concerning electromagnetic compatibility and environmentally suitable designs of energy-using products (e.g. the European Directive 2009/125/EC on ecodesign) have to be adhered and implemented.

CE-Test61k-3

ZES ZIMMER provides the system CE-Test61k for compliance tests corresponding to standards EN 61000-3-2, -3, -11 and -12. The precision power analyzers LMG95 and LMG500 comply with the standards for measurement devices EN 61000-4-7 for harmonic analyzers and standard EN 61000-4-15 for flicker meters. For validating the confirmation to the standards for current harmonics, the device under test must be fed by a power source with a purely sinusoidal and stable output voltage. This is essential in order to proof that the measured current harmonics are generated by the device under test and do not...

Disturbances to the public power system caused by current harmonics in the frequency range from 2 kHz to 9 kHz Current harmonics caused by home appliances are measured and evaluated up to the 40th harmonic (2 kHz for a line frequency of 50 Hz) according to EN 61000-3-2 and -12. For frequencies of 9 kHz and higher the common EMC standards apply. The frequency range from 2 kHz to 9 kHz is, however, to a large extent not standardized so far. Distortions in this frequency range originate for example from decentralized sustainable energy sources such as photo voltaic or wind power stations. Therefore...

CE-compliance test systems for ecodesign requirements The directive 2009/125/EU establishes a framework for the setting of ecodesign requirements for energy-related products. The goal of this initiative is to reduce the effects of products on the environment and to achieve energy savings during their whole life cycle. For many energy-consuming products, regulations have been issued by the EU in order to accomplish directive 2009/125/EU. These are guidelines regarding the environmentally suitable design of the respective product, the conformity assessment and the review procedure of the surveillance...

Power sources 1- oder 3-phasiger AC-Eingang, ungeregelt und verzerrt Because of their technology, switched power sources are highly efficient, more compact and even cheaper than linear power sources. Therefore they are quite often being used in compliance test systems for harmonics and flicker. They can supply the maximum current even under reactive loads with low or even very low power factors and are superior in this aspect to linear power sources. ZES ZIMMER, however, offers linear power sources as well, if – due to the type of the device under test, respectively the test to be performed –...
