A set of devices connected to perform a stand alone application is not considered to be an HBES/BACS system and therefore are outside the scope of this European Standard. This European Standard provides the general performance requirements and test setups for EMC for all products connected to HBES/BACS. This connection can be wired (e.g. communication cable, power line) or wireless (e.g. radiofrequency, infrared). This European Standard is applicable (but not limited) to – operator stations and other human system interface devices, – devices for management functions, – control devices, automation stations and application specific controllers, – field devices and their interfaces, – cabling and interconnection of devices, – dedicated devices for engineering and commissioning tools for HBES/BACS

This International Standard is applicable to newly manufactured instrument transformers with analogue or digital output for use with electrical measuring instruments or electrical protective devices having rated frequencies from 15 Hz to 100 Hz. TC 38 decided to restructure the whole set of stand-alone Standards in the IEC 60044 series and transform it into a new set of standards composed of general requirements documents and specific requirements documents. This Standard is the first issue of this new series and can be regarded as a Product Family standard. It contains the general requirements for instrument transformers and shall be read in conjunction with the relevant specific requirements standard for the instrument transformer concerned.

This European Standard specifies limits and methods of measurement for disturbance emissions and immunity characteristics of aftermarket equipment (ESAs) which are referenced by Automotive EMC Directive 2004/104/EC, Annex I, 3.2.9, and which are not related to immunity-related functions of vehicles as defined in Automotive EMC Directive 2004/104/EC, Annex I, 2.1.12. Any equipment (or part of an ESA) which has a primary function of radio transmission and/or reception according to the ITU Radio Regulations are excluded from the scope of this publication. This European Standard covers the frequency range 9 kHz to 400 GHz. To date, it specifies limits and methods of measurement for conducted and radiated disturbances from ESAs in the frequency range 30 MHz to 1 GHz and immunity requirements for conducted transients. The assessment of an ESA needs to be performed only in the frequency ranges where limits are defined. The emission requirements have been selected so as to ensure that disturbances generated by ESAs operating normally do not exceed a level that could prevent the vehicle or apparatus external to the vehicle from operating as intended. Fault conditions are not taken into account. Not all disturbance phenomena have been included for testing purposes in this standard but only those considered as relevant for the equipment covered by this standard.  As ESAs covered by this standard are not related to immunity-related function, only the following electromagnetic disturbance phenomena are evaluated: •   broadband and narrowband radiated electromagnetic disturbances; •   conducted transient disturbances; •   conducted transient immunity. Accessories that are not connected directly to the vehicle harness, but only via a special interface are normally excluded from vehicular EMC requirements.

This European Standard for EMC immunity requirements applies to professional audio, video, audio-visual and entertainment lighting control apparatus as defined in 3.6 intended for use in the environments described in Clause 4. This includes the digital apparatus defined in 3.5 and sub-assemblies, see 7.4.

NOTE 1   In Annex C, information is included on infra-red radiation in the wavelength range 0,7 µm to 1,6 µm.
The objective of this standard is to define the immunity test requirements, test signals, performance criteria and test methods for apparatus defined in the scope, in relation to electromagnetic immunity to continuous and transient conducted and radiated electromagnetic disturbances including electrostatic discharges. These test requirements represent essential electromagnetic compatibility requirements.
Fault conditions of source or victim apparatus are not taken into account.
Apparatus as defined in 3.4, 3.5 and 3.6 may be operated with any source of power.
NOTE 2   Sources of power may include, for example: the public low-voltage supply; private supplies with similar characteristics; a d.c. source provided specifically for the apparatus; batteries internal to the apparatus; stand-by generators.  Some standards may not apply to private low-voltage supplies.
NOTE 3   If it is intended to use a hand-held transmitter in proximity, additional mitigation measures may have to be employed to increase the electromagnetic immunity further, beyond the specified limits.
This European Standard does not apply to
–   consumer apparatus,
–   apparatus specifically designed for security systems,
–   apparatus designed to radiate electromagnetic energy for radio communications purposes.

Specifies rules for control units, which perform the switching functions in response to the thermal detectors incorporated in rotating electrical machines according to IEC 60034-11, and the industrial application. It specifies rules for that type of system comprising a positive temperature coefficient (PTC) thermistor detector having particular characteristics, and its associated control unit. The PT100 detectors are covered by IEC 60751, where the resistor values are given according to the temperatures of the detector. The present rules lay down the characteristics of association of this particular positive temperature coefficient thermistor detector and its associated control unit (designated "Mark A detector"" and "Mark A control unit""), when they are used in thermal protection systems. NOTE It is not possible to specify all the requirements for the operating characteristics of a control unit, as they are dependent on some aspects of the thermal detectors. Some aspects of the requirements of the thermal protector system can only be specified when account is taken of the characteristics of the rotating machine to be protected and the method of installation of the detector within the machine. For these reasons, for each characteristic it is necessary to specify who is responsible for stating the required values and who is responsible for compliance with the requirement and for carrying out any confirmatory test.
