EN 61000-3-2:2014

Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) - Part 3-2: Limits - Limits for harmonic current emissions (equipment input current ≤ 16 A per phase)

IEC 61000-3-2:2014 deals with the limitation of harmonic currents injected into the public supply system. It specifies limits of harmonic components of the input current which may be produced by equipment tested under specified conditions. It is applicable to electrical and electronic equipment having an input current up to and including 16 A per phase, and intended to be connected to public low voltage distribution systems. Arc welding equipment which is not professional equipment, with input current up to and including 16 A per phase, is included in this standard. Arc welding equipment intended for professional use, as specified in IEC 60974-1, is excluded from this standard and may be subject to installation restrictions as indicated in IEC/TR 61000-3-4 or IEC 61000-3-12. The tests according to this standard are type tests. Test conditions for particular equipment are given in Annex C. For systems with nominal voltages less than 220 V (line-to-neutral), the limits have not yet been considered. This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition published in 2005, Amendment 1:2008, Amendment 2:2009 and Corrigendum of August 2009. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: - a clarification of the repeatability and reproducibility of measurements; - a more accurate specification of the general test conditions for information technology equipment; - the addition of optional test conditions for information technology equipment with external power supplies or battery chargers; - the addition of a simplified test method for equipment that undergoes minor changes or updates; - an update of the test conditions for washing machines; - a clarification of the requirements for Class C equipment with active input power ≤ 25 W; - an update of the test conditions for audio amplifiers; - a clarification of the test conditions for lamps; - an update of the test conditions for vacuum cleaners; - the addition of test conditions for high pressure cleaners; - an update of the test conditions for arc welding equipment; - the reclassification of refrigerators and freezers with variable-speed drives into Class D; - and the addition of test conditions for refrigerators and freezers.

Elektromagnetische Verträglichkeit (EMV) - Teil 3-2: Grenzwerte - Grenzwerte für Oberschwingungsströme (Geräte-Eingangsstrom ≤ 16 A je Leiter)

Compatibilité électromagnétique (CEM) - Partie 3-2: Limites - Limites pour les émissions de courant harmonique (courant appelé par les appareils ≤ 16 A par phase)

L'IEC 61000-3-2:2014 traite de la limitation des courants harmoniques injectés dans le réseau public d'alimentation. Elle définit les limites des harmoniques du courant d'entrée qui peuvent être produits par les matériels soumis à l'essai dans des conditions spécifiées. Elle est applicable aux appareils électriques et électroniques ayant un courant d'entrée dont la valeur est inférieure ou égale à 16 A par phase et qui sont destinés à être raccordés à des réseaux publics de distribution à basse tension. Les appareils de soudage à l'arc qui ne sont pas du matériel professionnel, dont le courant d'entrée est inférieur ou égal à 16 A par phase, sont inclus dans le domaine d'application de la présente norme. Les appareils de soudage à l'arc destinés à un usage professionnel, tels que spécifiés dans l'IEC 60974-1, sont exclus du domaine d'application de la présente norme et peuvent être sujets à des restrictions d'installation comme indiqué dans l'IEC/TR 61000-3-4 ou l'IEC 61000-3-12. Les essais effectués conformément à la présente norme sont des essais de type. Les conditions d'essais pour des appareils particuliers sont indiquées à l'Annexe C. Pour les systèmes alimentés par des réseaux dont la tension nominale est inférieure à 220 V (phase par rapport au neutre), les limites n'ont pas encore été envisagées. Cette quatrième édition annule et remplace la troisième édition parue en 2005, l'Amendement 1:2008, l'Amendement 2:2009 et le Corrigendum d'août 2009. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente: - une clarification de la répétabilité et de la reproductibilité des mesures; - une spécification plus précise des conditions générales d'essai pour les appareils de traitement de l'information; - l'addition de conditions d'essai optionnelles pour les appareils de traitement de l'information ayant des alimentations de puissance ou des chargeurs de batterie externes; - l'addition d'une méthode d'essai simplifiée pour les appareils qui subissent de petites modifications ou mises à jour; - une mise à jour des conditions d'essai pour les lave-linge; - une clarification des prescriptions pour les matériels de Classe C ayant une puissance active en entrée ≤ 25 W; - une mise à jour des conditions d'essai pour les amplificateurs audio; - une clarification des conditions d'essai des lampes; - une mise à jour des conditions d'essai pour les aspirateurs; - l'addition de conditions d'essai pour les appareils de nettoyage à haute pression; - une mise à jour des conditions d'essai pour les appareils de soudure à l'arc; - la reclassification en Classe D des réfrigérateurs et congélateurs avec entraînement(s) à vitesse variable; - et l'addition de conditions d'essai pour les réfrigérateurs et congélateurs.

Elektromagnetna združljivost (EMC) - 3-2. del: Mejne vrednosti - Mejne vrednosti za oddajanje harmonskih tokov (vhodni tok opreme do vključno 16 A na fazo)

Standard EN IEC 61000-3-2 obravnava omejitev harmonskih tokov, vnesenih v javna omrežja. Določa mejne vrednosti harmonskih sestavnih delov vhodnega toka, ki jih lahko proizvede oprema, preskušena pod določenimi pogoji. Harmonski sestavni deli so izmerjeni glede na Dodatka A in B. Ta del standarda IEC 61000 velja za električno in elektronsko opremo z vhodnim tokom do vključno 16 A na fazo, ki je namenjena za povezavo z javnimi nizkonapetostnimi razdelilnimi sistemi. Ta standard zajema opremo za obločno varjenje, ki ni profesionalna oprema, z vhodnim tokom do vključno 16 A na fazo. Oprema za obločno varjenje, namenjena za profesionalno uporabo, kot je določeno v standardu IEC 60974-1, ni zajeta v tem standardu in lahko zanjo veljajo omejitve pri vgradnji, ki jih določa standard IEC/TR 61000-3-4 ali IEC 61000-3-12. Preskusi po tem standardu so tipski preskusi. Preskusni pogoji za določeno opremo so določeni v Dodatku C. Za sisteme z nominalnimi napetostmi, manjšimi od 220 V (nevtralno), mejne vrednosti še niso bile določene.
