Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) - Part 4-8: Testing and measurement techniques - Power frequency magnetic field immunity test
Executive summaryPower frequency magnetic field immunity test for electrical and electronic equipment.
AbstractThis European Standard relates to the immunity requirements of equipment, under operational conditions only, to magnetic disturbances at power frequency relating to:
- residential and commercial locations;
- industrial installations and power plants;
- medium voltage and high voltage substations.
The objective of this standard is to establish a common and reproducible basis for evaluating the performance of electrical and electronic equipment for household, commercial and industrial applications when subjected to magnetic fields at power frequency (continuous and short duration field). This standard defines recommended test levels, test equipment, test set-up and test procedure.
The applicability of this standard to equipment installed in different locations is determined by the presence of the phenomenon, as specified in clause 3. This standard does not consider disturbances due to capacitive or inductive coupling in cables or other parts of the field installation.
History and related standardsThis European Standard includes the cross reference:
IEC 68-1:1988.
