BS EN 61000-3-3 is concerned with the limitation of voltage fluctuations and flicker impressed on the public low-voltage system.
It specifies limits of voltage changes which may be produced by an equipment tested under specified conditions and gives guidance on methods of assessment.
BS EN 61000-3-3 is applicable to electrical and electronic equipment having an input current equal to or less than 16 A per phase, intended to be connected to public low-voltage distribution systems of between 220 V and 250 V line to neutral at 50 Hz, and not subject to conditional connection.
BS EN 61000-3-3 contains:
- Normative references
- Definitions
- Assessment of voltage changes, voltage fluctuations and flicker 8
- Limits
- Test conditions.
Equipment which does not comply with the limits of this part of IEC 61000 when tested with the reference impedance Zref of 6.4, and which therefore cannot be declared compliant with this part, may be retested or evaluated to show conformity with IEC 61000-3-11. Part 3-11 is applicable to equipment with rated input current ≤75 A per phase and subject to conditional connection.
The tests according to this part are type tests. Particular test conditions and the test circuit are given.
BS EN 61000-3-3:2008 supesedes BS EN 61000-3-3:1995, which will be withdrawn on 1 September 2011.
