IEC 61000-4-8 Ed. 2.0 b:2009

Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) - Part 4-8: Testing and measurement techniques - Power frequency magnetic field immunity test

IEC 61000-4-8:2009 relates to the immunity requirements of equipment, only under operational conditions, to magnetic disturbances at power frequencies 50 Hz and 60 Hz related to:

• residential and commercial locations;
• industrial installations and power plants;
• medium voltage and high voltage sub-stations.

The applicability of IEC 61000-4-8:2009 to equipment installed in different locations is determined by the presence of the phenomenon, as specified in Clause 4. This standard does not consider disturbances due to capacitive or inductive coupling in cables or other parts of the field installation. Other IEC standards dealing with conducted disturbances cover these aspects.

The object of IEC 61000-4-8:2009 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).

IEC 61000-4-8:2009 defines:

• recommended test levels;
• test equipment;
• test set-up;
• test procedure.

This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 1993 and its Amendment 1 (2000). It forms a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: the scope is extended in order to cover 60 Hz. Characteristics, performance and verification of the test generator and related inductive coils are revised. Modifications are also introduced in the test set-up (GRP) and test procedure.

IEC 61000-4-8:2009 has the status of a basic EMC publication in accordance with IEC Guide 107.

IEC 61000-4-7 Ed. 2.0 b:2002 Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) - Part 4-7: Testing and measurement techniques - General guide on harmonics and interharmonics measurements and instrumentation, for power supply systems and equipment connected thereto.

Applies to instrumentation intended for measuring spectral components in the frequency range up to 9 kHz which are superimposed on the fundamental of the power supply systems at 50 Hz and 60 Hz. For practical considerations, this standard distinguishes between harmonics, interharmonics and other components above the harmonic frequency range, up to 9 kHz.

Defines the measurement instrumentation intended for testing individual items of equipment in accordance with emission limits given in certain standards (for example, harmonic current limits as given in IEC 61000-3-2) as well as for the measurement of harmonic currents and voltages in actual supply systems.

IEC/TR 61000-5-2 Ed. 1.0 b:1997 Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) - Part 5: Installation and mitigation guidelines - Section 2: Earthing and cabling.

This technical report (type 3) covers guidelines for the earthing and cabling of electrical and electronic systems and installations aimed at ensuring electromagnetic compatibility among electrical and electronic apparatus or systems.

More particularly, it is concerned with earthing practices and with cables used in industrial, commercial and residential installations.

This technical report is intended for use by installers and users, and to some extent, manufacturers of sensitive electrical or electronic installations and systems, and equipment with high emission levels that could degrade the overall electromagnetic environment.

IEC 61947-1 Ed. 1.0 b:2002 Electronic projection - Measurement and documentation of key performance criteria - Part 1: Fixed resolution projectors.

IEC 61947-1:2002 specifies requirements for measuring and documenting key performance parameters for electronic projection systems with fixed resolution projectors in which the light source and projection/magnification optics are an integral part of the system (i.e. individual pixel light sources or matrix displays such as liquid crystal, DMD, plasma, or electroluminescent panels).

It also applies to LCD panels or other fixed resolution imaging devices themselves that are used with overhead projectors.
