Successful "Vulcan-M" Hardware
IEC Electromagnetic Compatibility Tests

May 25, 2010

The serial "Vulcan-M" hardware manufactured by Westron has passed through the series of the qualification tests that have proved its meeting the requirements of the applicable European electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) standards.

The "Vulcan-M" hardware tests have been performed by the experts of the "Molniya" Certification Test Center accredited in the UkrSEPRO certification system to demonstrate its resistance to the peak level impacts specified by the IEC-61000-4 standards.

The "Vulcan-M" hardware test results in the full scope have confirmed the "Vulcan-M" hardware compliance with the IEC-61000-4-2, IEC-61000-4-3, IEC-61000-4-4, IEC-61000-4-5, IEC-61000-4-6, IEC-61000-4-8, IEC-61000-4-9, IEC-61000-4-10, IEC-61000-4-11, IEC-61000-4-12, IEC-61000-4-14, IEC-61000-4-16, IEC-61000-4-28, IEC-61000-4-29, and EN50081-2 standards. The requirements of these applicable standards are considerably stricter than the EMC requirements specified by the regulatory documents of Ukraine and Russia for Safety Class 2 NPP I&C hardware.
