PSpice simulation of surge testing for electrical vehicles

In this paper a general modeling procedure for 1.2/50μs generator defined in IEC 61000-4-5 is presented. Subsequently, in PSpice this surge generator model is employed in order to simulate and observe surge tests for electrical vehicles, which have plugs to the public mains supply due to their charging systems. In the research several shielding set-ups of charging systems in electrical vehicles are defined and studied from the EMC aspect. Comparing to measurement results the PSpice simulation always offers a good prediction and agreement to different research set-ups.
