IEC 61000 3 2 1998 standard distinguished between two types of tests stationary for equipment that exhibits constant power consumption and transitory for equipment that exhibits fluctuating power consumption patterns Under the revised 2004 test standards all tests are done by evaluating transitory harmonics so this selection is not longer relevant Evaluation of current harmonics is always done using the transitory method so no user selection is provided See section 2 3 3 for details on selecting the correct test time It should be noted that the user must ensure that the total test time applied is sufficient to cover a complete operating cycle of the EUT Many devices are stationary in nature but notable exceptions exist For example a laser printer that periodically draws higher currents to heat the fuser may exhibit fluctuating harmonics and may require a test time that is sufficiently long to cover such an event The same applies to microwave cookers and washing machines User Manual 5 5 Compliance Test System 3 0 Running a Harmonics Test Starting the CTS 3 0 main program brings up the test setup screen This CTS 3 0 main program window automatically sizes to a SVGA display resolution of 800 x 600 pixels Larger screen resolutions are supported but the controls on the main window will not size to any resolution above 800 x 600 For correct harmonics and flicker measurement operation please note the following setup guidelines
