What is BS EN 61000-4-10 - Damped oscillatory magnetic field immunity test about ?
BS EN 61000-4-10 is a part of the BS EN 61000 multi-series that discusses electromagnetic compatibility.
BS EN 61000-4-10 specifies the immunity requirements, test methods, and range of recommended test levels for equipment subjected to damped oscillatory magnetic disturbances related to medium voltage and high voltage sub-stations.
The test defined in BS EN 61000-4-10 is applied to equipment which is intended to be installed in locations where the phenomenon as specified will be encountered.
Note: BS EN 61000-4-10 does not specify disturbances due to capacitive or inductive coupling in cables or other parts of the field installation. BS EN 61000-4-18, which deals with conducted disturbances, covers these aspects.
Who is BS EN 61000-4-10 — Damped oscillatory magnetic field immunity test for?
BS EN 61000-4-10 on damped oscillatory magnetic is useful for:
- EMC test laboratories
- IT equipment manufacturers (design managers or regulatory/compliance engineers)
- Manufacturers of lighting and electrical appliances
- Regulatory and certification bodies
Why should you use BS EN 61000-4-10 — Damped oscillatory magnetic field immunity test?
Damped oscillatory magnetic fields are generated by the switching of H.V. bus-bars by isolators or disconnectors. The magnetic fields to which equipment is subjected can influence the reliable operation of equipment and systems.
BS EN 61000-4-10 helps you to establish a common and reproducible basis for evaluating the performance of electrical and electronic equipment for medium voltage and high voltage substations when subjected to damped oscillatory magnetic fields.
BS EN 61000-4-10 helps you to execute the test method accurately by providing you guidance on a range of test levels, test equipment, test setups, and test procedures.
Overall, the test method defined in BS EN 61000-4-10 can help you to ensure that your electrical products will operate safely and effectively in the real world.
