EMI and EMC Test Equipment Rental & Sales

Techmaster rents and sells calibrated EMI and EMC test equipment for pre-compliance work: EMI receivers, antennas, ESD guns, surge and EFT generators and coupling networks. Each rental goes out with a current calibration certificate from our laboratories. Some immunity-generator parameters sit outside our ANAB scope and are certified NIST-traceable, so tell us which parameters your test relies on.

EMC and EMI rental: what to check when it arrives

  • Check the ESD simulator's discharge network and tips against your standard. IEC 61000-4-2 uses 150 pF and 330 Ω.
  • Confirm the surge generator's waveform and coupling network match your test plan: 1.2/50 µs open-circuit voltage and 8/20 µs short-circuit current for IEC 61000-4-5.
  • Check the LISN's impedance characteristic and current rating against CISPR 16-1-2 and your equipment's supply current.
  • Load antenna factors and cable loss from the certificates into your receiver or test software before measuring.

What calibration comes with the rental?

Every rental ships with a current calibration certificate from a Techmaster laboratory. Check that its due date covers your last day of testing and that it covers the ranges you will use.

The directly relevant accredited capabilities are DC and AC high voltage (to 100 kV at Vista and 150 kV at San Antonio) and RF and microwave measurement at Vista, Santa Clara and Orlando. Several immunity-generator parameters are outside that scope and are handled as NIST-traceable work. Exact ranges and uncertainties are on our published accreditation scope.

Frequently asked questions

Can I rent EMC test equipment for pre-compliance testing?
Yes. Send the standards you are testing to, the equipment list and your dates, and we confirm availability, terms and which parameters can carry an accredited certificate.
Is every EMC rental covered by ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation?
No. High voltage and RF measurement are on our ANAB scope, but some immunity-generator parameters are not and are certified NIST-traceable. We tell you which applies before the equipment ships.
Can I rent a LISN?
Ask us. LISNs are the EMC instrument we calibrate most often. Send the standard you test to, the number of lines and the supply voltage and current you need, with your dates, and we confirm availability, terms and the certificate level.
What is checked when an ESD simulator is calibrated?
Usually the discharge current waveform at the contact levels you use, including peak current, rise time and current at 30 and 60 ns per IEC 61000-4-2, plus output voltage. Tell us your test levels; some of these parameters are certified NIST-traceable rather than accredited.
How do I rent from Techmaster?
Send the model or the specification it must meet, your start date, the last day you need it and the certificate level you need. We confirm availability and terms, then ship the instrument with its certificate or deliver it locally in Southern California, Silicon Valley or the Orlando area.
