Overview

EN 61000-2-2:2002/A2:2019 is a key European standard developed by the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization (CLC) under the broader IEC 61000 series. It focuses on electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), specifically addressing compatibility levels for low-frequency conducted disturbances and signalling in public low-voltage power supply systems. This standard outlines reference limits for voltage fluctuations, voltage distortion, and other low-frequency disturbances that may influence the reliable operation of electrical and electronic equipment connected to public low-voltage grids.

By harmonizing compatibility levels, EN 61000-2-2 supports the design and implementation of devices that are resilient to typical electromagnetic disturbances encountered in modern power supply networks.

Key Topics

• Low-frequency conducted disturbances: Establishes compatibility levels for conducted emissions and disturbances within public low-voltage networks, particularly in the frequency range from 30 kHz to 150 kHz.
• Voltage fluctuations and flicker: Provides guidelines and numerical reference values for voltage fluctuation, supporting the evaluation of short-term and long-term power quality.
• Setting emission limits: The compatibility levels defined are used as references when setting device emission limits and immunity requirements for public networks.
• Impact on equipment: Considers the susceptibility of metering systems, static electricity meters, clocks, and various electronically controlled devices to disturbances such as those generated by switching power supplies, inverters, and switching converters.
• Reference to CISPR standards: References relevant CISPR standards (e.g., CISPR 15) for establishing emission limits, supporting comprehensive EMC management.
• Annexes and tables: Includes detailed annexes and tables, such as compatibility levels for voltage distortion and voltage fluctuation tables for both 120 V and 230 V systems.

Applications

EN 61000-2-2:2002/A2:2019 is applied in a variety of contexts to ensure electromagnetic compatibility within public low-voltage power supply systems. Key applications include:

• Network equipment design: Supports manufacturers in designing equipment that complies with public network EMC requirements, reducing electromagnetic disturbance emissions and enhancing immunity.
• Power quality management: Enables utility companies and grid operators to assess and manage the impact of electrical disturbances on network stability and equipment performance.
• Product testing and certification: Provides a reference for EMC testing laboratories when evaluating device compliance related to low-frequency conducted disturbances.
• Harmonization across Europe: Facilitates a consistent approach to EMC across European countries, ensuring interoperability and minimizing interference in interconnected networks.
• Smart grid and renewable integration: Addresses the growing presence of power-electronics-based equipment, such as photovoltaic inverters and smart meters, which operate in the 2 kHz to 150 kHz frequency range.
• Coordination of emission limits: Guides regulatory bodies and industry stakeholders in deriving emission limits for various types of equipment based on agreed compatibility levels.

Related Standards

• IEC 61000-2-2: International version, providing the foundational reference for the European adaptation.
• IEC 61000-4-15: Standard for testing and measuring flicker and voltage fluctuations, referenced in annex tables.
• CISPR 15: Limits and methods for measuring radio disturbance characteristics, particularly for lighting equipment-complementary to compatibility assessment.
• IEC 61000-6 series: Generic EMC standards for various environments.
• EN 61000-2-12: Additional compatibility levels for low-frequency conducted disturbances in public low-voltage power supply systems.
• EN 55015: European adaptation of CISPR 15 for electromagnetic disturbance limits and measurement methods for lighting equipment.

By implementing EN 61000-2-2:2002/A2:2019, stakeholders can achieve robust EMC performance in public low-voltage networks, supporting operational reliability and international standardization in the evolving electrical landscape.
