Abstract

The effects of simulated power system transients, voltage fluctuations, and momentary interruptions on household electronic equipment are quantified. Nondestructive testing was performed to determine the applicability of the CBEMA and IEEE susceptibility curves to consumer electronic equipment. Graphs were developed which illustrate these effects. Overvoltage/transient testing performed in this study failed to demonstrate any adverse effect on the equipment tested. However, undervoltage testing did result in loss of memory for each type of device
