CNS Inc. HFA Series Harmonics & Flicker Analyzers

April 16, 2019, Poway, CA – CNS Inc. has released the IEC 61000-3-2/3/11/12 compliant HFA series of harmonics & flicker analyzers for current ranges up to 75 Amp/phase. The software is fully compliant with the most recent versions of the standards, and 2 year no-cost support for standards updates is included.

All HFA versions have 6 high speed parallel 16 bit A/D converters and allow spectrum analysis to 10 kHz. The systems interface to PC’s via a USB port, and can be operated with laptop and desktop PC’s running Windows-7/8/10.

The display and test report show the waveform and harmonic spectrum, as well as numerical values vs. limits, for each 200 ms measurement window in accordance with the standards.

The small form factor HFA-1 is ideal for on-site pre-compliance testing using the public supply @ 100/120/220/230 Volt 50/60 Hz, or for full compliance testing when combined with a suitable AC power source. Prices for the single phase small form factor analyzer with an ISO-17025 accredited calibration certificate start at under $ 6,000
The 19” rack version in either 1 or 3 phase configurations can be used in automated compliance test systems. Options include a built-in Reference Impedance per IEC TR 60725 or the Z-test per IEC 61000-3-11. Prices for the 19” version with ISO-17025 accredited calibration certificate start at under $ 10,000.

With more than 30 years experience in harmonic and flicker analysis, and participation in IEC standards committees since 1996, CNS Inc. offers a unique combination of standards knowledge and cost effective design expertise for hardware and software of harmonics and flicker analysis and calibration products.

CNS Inc. has provided accredited calibration services to every major IT equipment and electrical products manufacturer in the USA, as well as for many international EMC test houses. CNS Inc. also supports many clients in Asia, and was instrumental in the generation of IEC technical reports for on-site calibration of harmonics test systems per IEC TR 61000-4-37 and flicker calibration per IEC 61000-4-38.
