What is BS EN 60255-26 - Measuring relays and protection equipment about?
BS EN 60255-26 is a British standard as a part of the IEC 60255 series that applies to measuring relays and protection equipment, taking into account combinations of devices to form schemes for power system protection including the control, monitoring, communication, and process interface equipment used with those systems. BS EN 60255-26 specifies the requirements for electromagnetic compatibility for measuring relays and protection equipment. Tests specified in BS EN 60255-26 are not required for equipment not incorporating electronic circuits, for example, electromechanical relays. The requirements specified in BS EN 60255-26 apply to measuring relays and protection equipment in a new condition and all tests specified are type tests only.
The object of BS EN 60255-26 is to specify limits and test methods, for measuring relays and protecting equipment against electromagnetic emissions which may cause interference in other equipment. BS EN 60255-26 is to specify the immunity test requirements for measuring relays and protection equipment about continuous and transient, conducted and radiated disturbances, including electrostatic discharges.
Who is BS EN 60255-26 - Measuring relays and protection equipment for?
BS EN 60255-26 on measuring relays and protection equipment is useful for:
- The manufacturing industry
- The construction industry
- The oil and gas industry
- The automation industry
- The healthcare industry
- Quality assurance managers
Why should you use BS EN 60255-26 - Measuring relays and protection equipment?
EMC ensures the proper operation of diverse equipment items that use or respond to electromagnetic phenomena in the same electromagnetic environment and the avoidance of any interference effects. EMC testing reduces the chance that your device's radiated or conducted emissions will interfere with other electronic devices in its area.
BS EN 60255-26 specifies all of the requirements for electromagnetic compatibility in a single document. As such, BS EN 60255-26 is considered an overview document for measuring relays and protection equipment. Using BS EN 60255-26 guidelines helps with industrial electrical installations, type testing, and smooth process interface system.
