AS IEC 61000.4.1:2017 pdf download – Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) Part 4.1: Testing and measurement techniques- Overview of the IEC 61000-4 series.
4 General Electronic components and equipment are sensitive to electromagnetic disturbances (i.e. conducted and radiated electromagnetic disturbances and electrostatic discharge). The tremendous expansion in the use of electronic components and equipment continuously increases the number of cases and probabillity of malfunctioning or damage, etc., which can arise from electromagnetic disturbances. IEC TR 61000-2-5 provides a description of the various electromagnetic environments that electronic components and systems can be exposed to. However, IEC TR 61000-2-5 does not provide a link to all the immunity test standards of the IEC 61000-4 series. Product committees, users and manufacturers of equipment remain responsible for the appropriate choice of the immunity tests from the IEC 61 000-4 series and the test level to be applied to their equipment. To enhance the task of coordination and standardization, product committees, users and manufacturers should consider the recommendations given in this document in parallel to the environmental descriptions given in IEC TR 61000-2-5.
• IEC 61 000-4-2 (Electrostatic discharge immunity test)
In general, the electrostatic discharge test is applicable to all equipment which is used in an environment where electrostatic discharges may occur. Direct and indirect discharges shall be considered. Exclusions may include equipment limited for use in ESD-controlled environmental conditions and non-electrical or non-electronic products.
• IEC 61000-4-3 (Radiated, radio-frequency, electromagnetic field immunity test)
In general, the radiated immunity test is applicable to all products where radio-frequency fields are present. Exclusions may include equipment limited for use in electromagnetic- controlled conditions or low electromagnetic field environment and non-electrical or non- electronic products.
• IEC 61000-4-4 (Electrical fast transient/burst immunity test)
In general, the fast transient test is applicable to products which are connected to mains or have cables (signal or control) in close proximity to power supply cables (AC or DC).
• IEC 61 000-4-5 (Surge immunity test)
The surge test is applicable to products which are connected to networks leaving the building or mains in general.
• IEC 61000-4-6 (Immunity to conducted disturbances. induced by radio-frequency fields) In general, the conducted immunity test is applicable to products where radio-frequency fields are present and which are connected to mains or other networks (signal or control lines).
• IEC 61000-4-8 (Power frequency magnetic field immunity test)
In general. this test should be limited to products which are susceptible to magnetic fields (for example Hall effect devices, CRTs and special products to be installed in high magnetic field environments). Exclusions include equipment which is intended for use in a low magnetic field environment.
• IEC 61000-4-9 (Pulse magnetic field immunity test)
This test is mainly applicable to products to be installed in electrical plants (for example telecontrol centres in close proximity to switchgear).
• IEC 61000-4-10 (Damped oscillatory magnetic field immunity test) This test is mainly applicable to products to be installed in high-voltage substations.
• IEC 61000-4-11 (Voltage dips, short interruptions and voltage variations immunity tests) This document defines the test methods to evaluate the immunity of equipment connected to the LV system, to voltage dips, short interruptions and voltage variations. This test is applicable to equipment with a rated input current not exceeding 16 A per phase, connected to AC mains.
• IEC 61000-4-12 (Ring wave immunity test)
The ring wave test is applicable to equipment with connections to low-voltage power, control and signal lines and which is used in power plants and high voltage substations.
• IEC 61000-4-13 (Harmonics and interharmonics including mains signalling at a.c. power port, low-frequency immunity tests)
