MIL-STD-461 EMC

CS114 Conducted Susceptibility, Bulk Cable Injection

MIL-STD-461, CS114

What It Evaluates

Injects common-mode RF current onto cable bundles to simulate electromagnetic energy coupled into platform wiring.

Test the applicable platform range from 10 kHz–200 MHz; specified ship and submarine applications also use 77 dBµA from 4 kHz–1 MHz. Place the monitor probe 5 cm from the connector and the injection probe 5 cm from the monitor probe.

When It Applies

Applicability depends on platform, installation, interfaces, procurement requirements, and the controlling revision.

Typical Applicability

Calibrate the injection probe in a 50 Ω fixture and record the forward power required to produce the selected current curve. Operate the equipment and inject a 1 kHz pulse-modulated signal at 50% duty cycle into each individual cable bundle, complete power cable, and required power-lead grouping while scanning the applicable frequency range.

Setup Notes

Setup notes and technical limits must be entered from verified source requirements.

This tool provides preliminary planning information only. Final MIL-STD-810H, MIL-STD-461, and RTCA DO-160 requirements must be reviewed and tailored by qualified engineers based on the product, lifecycle, platform, environment, and contract requirements.
