Product
Clean Power Source
AC1000A
-
The AC1000 achieves its unique price/performance ratio by actively adjusting the incoming mains waveform to produce a clean output. Other suppliers use convertor techniques to completely recreate the output from scratch. Our solution delivers an output which achieves the required THD with the minimum of hardware and expense. It includes the ability to switch the correction in or out so that the original waveform can be observed and measured if required. Overload and thermal protection systems are built-in and produce an audible warning if activated.

RF Field Probes (LSprobe)
Immunity
-
Your product descThe LSProbe range of laser-powered E-Field probes offers precision, speed, and flexibility for EMC testing environments that demand reliable, uninterrupted measurements. These compact, battery-free probes use a galvanically insulated laser power supply, eliminating downtime and enabling continuous, high-resolution field monitoring with minimal noise and fast pulse response.ription goes here.

Line Impedance Stablisation Networks (LISN)
Emissions
-
All commercial LISNs include an artificial hand connection and a transient limiter. This adds a 30dB insertion loss. A 30dB pre-amplifier is included which can be connected in the RF output feed to return the insertion loss to 0dB. All bar the heavy current LISNs are constructed in a flanged aluminium enclosure that can be bolted directly down to a ground plane (as required by standards). The underside of the enclosure is left unpainted to ensure good conductivity with the plane. The 16A and military/automotive LISNs have an RF output for each line, thus allowing parallel measurements of the emissions. This facilitates measurement of common mode and differential mode components of the emissions if required.

Emissions Reference Source (ERS)
Emissions
-
The ERS is a comb generator that radiates RF continuously every 2MHz over the range 30MHz - 1000MHz. Each 2MHz peak is precisely measured during the calibration process with the ERS orientated both vertically and horizontally. These measurements are correlated against a 3m OATS such that any fully implemented CISPR16 site, measuring at 3m and using height scanning, will read the same.

Amplifier Modules
RF Amplifiers
-
Modules are usually smaller and are usually part of systems. You supply your own DC voltage, make the connections and supply your own DC supply. Modules are available with or without heatsinks and fans. Amplifiers Modules are available in both Broadband and Band-Specific frequencies. Modular design concepts save time and money, and are lightweight, reliable, cost-effective solutions. We are well-known in the industry for successfully adapting our amplifiers or custom designing new solutions to suit each unique project.

Test Cells
Emissions
-
LaplaCells provide a facility for the rapid and efficient testing of the EMC compliance of products. These cells offer a calibrated and screened environment in which radiated emissions can be measured and immunity to RF radiation can be tested. They \re calibrated according to the methodology of IEC61000-4-20, thus affording compliant testing to IEC61000-4-3 and pre-compliance testing for radiated emission testing.

Servo And VFD Filters
-
Operation of PWM-driven motors – servo motors and variable frequency drives (VFD) – causes several problems in equipment, including damage to the motor’s bearings due to leakage current causing electrical discharge machining (EDM) and damage to motor’s insulation. PWM motors also are a major source of EMI in equipment. These motor drive systems use pulsed power to drive the motors. As we are aware, the sharp edges of the pulses inevitably include high frequency components which can couple or radiate as noise to other parts of your system and cause unreliability, communication/control problems and EMC compliance issues.

Power Amplifiers
Immunity
-
The RF power amplifier range from Laplace is specifically designed for EMC Immunity testing according to IEC61000-4-3 and IEC61000-4-6. These are compact units with characteristics matched to the requirements of IEC standards. These RF amplifiers utilize fully isolated linear MOSFET or advanced GaAs FET devices, which provide high gain, wide dynamic range and excellent third order intercepts. High efficiency and reliable operation are achieved by employing unique RF combining circuits, RF microstrip networks, sophisticated thermal design, custom machined housing and heavy duty components. The high power RF amplifiers undergo extensive burn-in prior to final test and inspection.

DC Filters
-
This DC filter provides substantial noise reduction on DC power lines of up to 50V 9A. Filter provides noise suppression in both directions protecting your DC lines from noise generating by a particular piece of equipment or protecting your sensitive equipment from noise coming from DC power supply or other loads. DC filter provides noise suppression for both power lines – positive and negative, plus common-mode noise vs. ground. Filter uses plug-in terminal block for connections and mounting flanges for easy installation. Its rugged construction makes it easy to fit in many industrial tools.

CDNs
Immunity
-
Laplace supply a wide range of CDNs that are fully compliant to IEC61000-4-6. Laplace are unique in offering two other types. Both types are ‘versatile’ in that they are configurable, offering great flexibility in terms of the type of cable each model can be used with. This reduces the number of CDNs necessary to hold in stock. The final type is, in addition to being versatile, fitted with an output which monitors the RF level applied to the cable.
