IEC Releases New EMC Immunity Test Standard

 

The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) recently released the edition 1.1 of the IEC 61000-4-34 standard titled “Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) - Part 4-34: Testing and measurement techniques - Voltage dips, short interruptions and voltage variations immunity tests for equipment with mains current more than 16 A per phase.”

IEC 61000-4-34:2005+A1:2009 defines the immunity test methods and range of preferred test levels for electrical and electronic equipment connected to low-voltage power supply networks for voltage dips, short interruptions, and voltage variations. This standard applies to electrical and electronic equipment having a rated input current exceeding 16 A per phase. It covers equipment installed in residential areas as well as industrial machinery.
