This part of BS EN 61000 looks at the immunity requirements, test methods and test levels for electrical equipment and unidirectional surges caused by overvoltages from switching and lightning transients. These tests apply to different environments and installation conditions. The standard helps the user to evaluate the immunity when electrical and electronic equipment are subjected to surges. The tests in this part of BS EN 61000 describe a consistent method to assess immunity of systems against a defined phenomenon.
How does it work?BS EN 61000 sets out a range of test levels and looks at various test equipment – including wave generators and coupling or decoupling networks. It also explains the test setup for tests applied to EUT power ports, unshielded unsymmetrical interconnections and shielded lines. Other topics include test procedures, laboratory reference conditions, the application of the surge in the laboratory and test reports.
