What is IEC 61326-2-4 about?
IEC 61326-2-4 gives more details about EMC requirements. IEC 61326-2-4 specifies more detailed test configurations, operational conditions and performance criteria for equipments required for insulation monitoring and insulation fault location.
IEC 61326-2-4 applies to insulation monitoring devices and for equipment for insulation fault location systems permanently or semi-permanently connected to the distribution system.
Who is IEC 61326-2-4 for?
IEC 61326-2-4 on EMC requirements for insulation monitoring devices is applicable to:
- Manufacturers of monitoring devices and their components
- Suppliers and importers of monitoring devices and their components
- Electrical design engineer
- EMC Testing houses for electrical measuring equipments
Why should you use IEC 61326-2-4?
EMC refers to the accidental generation, propagation, and receipt of electromagnetic energy, which can result in undesirable consequences like electromagnetic interference or even physical damage to operating equipment. EMC testing is mandatory for electrical measuring equipment such as insulation monitoring devices in order to meet all the regulatory EMC requirements for efficient and reliable performance.
IEC 61326-2-4 provides you with test plans like configuration, operation, specification of EUT testing and immunity requirements like condition, immunity, random aspects, performance criteria and emission requirement which helps you create equipment that are not susceptible to interferences.
IEC 61326-2-4 makes it feasible for you to prepare the insulation monitoring devices for testing in order to be compatible with EMC requirements.
As EMC testing for electrical measuring equipment is a compulsion in most of the countries, IEC 61326-2-4 is a guide that buyers can easily follow as it covers all the particular requirements and test plans for EMC testing in a very understandable manner.
IEC 61326-2-4 helps you improve the performance of electrical equipment and reduce the risk of costly non-compliance.
