This document applies to electrical and electronic equipment having a rated input current not exceeding 16 A per phase, for connection to 50 Hz or 60 Hz AC networks. It does not apply to electrical and electronic equipment for connection to 400 Hz AC networks. Tests for these networks will be covered by future IEC documents. The object of this document is to establish a common reference for evaluating the immunity of electrical and electronic equipment when subjected to voltage dips, short interruptions and voltage variations. NOTE 1 Voltage fluctuation immunity tests are covered by IEC 61000-4-14. The test method documented in this document describes a consistent method to assess the immunity of equipment or a system against a defined phenomenon. NOTE 2 As described in IEC Guide 107, this is a basic EMC publication for use by product committees of the IEC. As also stated in Guide 107, the IEC product committees are responsible for determining whether this immunity test standard should be applied or not, and, if applied, they are responsible for defining the appropriate test levels. Technical committee 77 and its sub-committees are prepared to co-operate with product committees in the evaluation of the value of particular immunity tests for their products. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2004 and Amendment 1:2017. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: - rise time and fall time of transients are now defined terms in Clause 3; - the origin of voltage dips and short interruptions is now stated in Clause 4.

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of

Voltage dips, short interruptions and voltage variations immunity
tests for equipment with input current up to 16 A per phase
1 Scope
This part of IEC 61000 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 document applies to electrical and electronic equipment having a rated input current not
exceeding 16 A per phase, for connection to 50 Hz or 60 Hz AC networks.
It does not apply to electrical and electronic equipment for connection to 400 Hz AC networks.
Tests for these networks will be covered by future IEC documents.
The object of this document is to establish a common reference for evaluating the immunity of
electrical and electronic equipment when subjected to voltage dips, short interruptions and
voltage variations.
NOTE 1 Voltage fluctuation immunity tests are covered by IEC 61000-4-14.
The test method documented in this document describes a consistent method to assess the
immunity of equipment or a system against a defined phenomenon.
NOTE 2 As described in IEC Guide 107, this is a basic EMC publication for use by product committees of the
IEC. As also stated in Guide 107, the IEC product committees are responsible for determining whether this
immunity test standard should be applied or not, and, if applied, they are responsible for defining the appropriate

3.1
immunity (to a disturbance)
ability of a device, equipment or system to perform without degradation in the presence of an
electromagnetic disturbance
[SOURCE: IEC 60050-161:1990, 161-01-20]
3.2
voltage dip
sudden reduction of the voltage at a particular point of an electricity supply system below a
specified dip threshold followed by its recovery after a brief interval
Note 1 to entry: Typically, a dip is associated with the occurrence and termination of a short circuit or other
extreme current increase on the system or installations connected to it.
Note 2 to entry: A voltage dip is a two-dimensional electromagnetic disturbance, the level of which is determined
by both voltage and time (duration).
3.3
short interruption
sudden reduction of the voltage on all phases at a particular point of an electric supply system
below a specified interruption threshold followed by its restoration after a brief interval
Note 1 to entry: Short interruptions are typically associated with switchgear operations related to the occurrence
and termination of short circuits on the system or on installations connected to it.
3.4
residual voltage
minimum value of RMS voltage recorded during a voltage dip or short
interruption
Note 1 to entry: The residual voltage can be expressed as a value in volts or as a percentage or per unit value
relative to the reference voltage.
3.5
malfunction
breakdown of the ability of equipment to carry out intended functions or the execution of
unintended functions by the equipment
3.6
calibration
method to prove that the measurement equipment is in compliance with its specifications
Note 1 to entry: For the purposes of this document, calibration is applied to the test generator.
3.7
verification
set of operations which are used to check the test equipment system (e.g. the test generator
and the interconnecting cables) to demonstrate that the test system is functioning within the
specifications given in Clause 6
Note 1 to entry: The methods used for verification can be different from those used for calibration.
Note 2 to entry: The verification procedure of 6.1.3 is meant as a guide to ensure the correct operation of the test
generator and other items making up the test set-up so that the intended waveform is delivered to the EUT.
3.8
rise time
interval of time between the instants at which the instantaneous value of a transition first
reaches a specified lower value and then a specified upper value
Note 1 to entry: The lower and upper values are fixed at 10 % and 90 % of the transition magnitude.

[SOURCE: IEC 60050-161:1990, 161-02-05]
3.9
fall time
interval of time between the instants at which the instantaneous value of a transition first
reaches a specified upper value and then a specified lower value
Note 1 to entry: The lower and upper values are fixed at 10 % and 90 % of the transition magnitude.
Note 2 to entry: This definition is derived from IEC 60050-161:1990, 161-02-05.
4 General
Electrical and electronic equipment can be affected by voltage dips, short interruptions or
voltage variations of the power supply.
Voltage dips and short interruptions occur due to faults in a (public or non-public) network or
in installations by sudden changes of large loads. In certain cases, two or more consecutive
dips or interruptions can occur. Voltage variations are caused by continuously varying loads
connected to the network.
These phenomena are random in nature and can be minimally characterized for the purpose
of laboratory simulation in terms of the deviation from the rated voltage and duration.
Consequently, different types of tests are specified in this document to simulate the effects of
abrupt voltage change. These tests are to be used only for particular and justified cases,
under the responsibility of product specification or product committees.
It is the responsibility of the product committees to establish which phenomena among the
ones considered in this document are relevant and to decide on the applicability of the test.
5 Test levels
5.1 General
The voltages in this document use the rated voltage for the equipment (U ) as a basis for the
T
voltage test level specification.
Where the equipment has a rated voltage range the following shall apply:
• if the voltage range does not exceed 20 % of the lower voltage specified for the rated
voltage range, a single voltage within that range may be specified as a basis for the test
level specification (U );
T
• in all other cases, the test procedure shall be applied for both the lowest and highest
voltages declared in the voltage range;
• guidance for the selection of test levels and durations is given in IEC TR 61000-2-8.
5.2 Voltage dips and short interruptions
The change between U and the changed voltage is abrupt. The step can start and stop
T
at any phase angle on the mains voltage. The following test voltage levels (in % U )
T
are used: 0 %, 40 %, 70 % and 80 %, corresponding to dips with residual voltages of 0 %,
40 %, 70 % and 80 %.
For voltage dips, the preferred test levels and durations are given in Table 1, and an example
is shown in Figure 1a) and Figure 1b).
– 10 – IEC 61000-4-11:2020 © IEC 2020
For short interruptions, the preferred test levels and durations are given in Table 2, and an
example is shown in Figure 2.
The rise and fall time are detailed in Figure 3.
The preferred test levels and durations given in Table 1 and Table 2 take into account the
information given in IEC TR 61000-2-8.
The preferred test levels in Table 1 are reasonably severe, and are representative of many
real world dips, but are not intended to guarantee immunity to all voltage dips. More severe
dips, for example 0 % for 1 s and balanced three-phase dips, may be considered by product
committees.
The generator specification for voltage rise time, t , and voltage fall time, t , during abrupt
r f
changes is indicated in Table 4.
The levels and durations shall be given in the product specification. A test level of 0 %
corresponds to a total supply voltage interruption. In practice, a test voltage level from 0 % to
20 % of the rated voltage may be considered as a total interruption.
Shorter durations in Table 1, in particular the half-cycle, should be tested to ensure that the
equipment under test (EUT) operates within the performance limits specified for it.
When setting performance criteria for disturbances of a half-period duration for products with
a mains transformer, product committees should pay particular attention to effects which can
result from inrush currents. For such products, these can reach 10 times to 40 times the rated
current because of the magnetic flux saturation of the transformer core after the voltage dip.
High inrush currents can also occur in products with capacitors (e.g. EMC filters, bridge
rectifiers connected to DC capacitors).

5.3 Voltage variations
This test considers a defined transition between the rated voltage U and the changed
T
voltage.
NOTE The voltage change takes place over a short period, and can occur due to a change of load.
The preferred duration of the voltage changes and the time for which the reduced voltages are
to be maintained are given in Table 3. The rate of change should be constant; however, the
voltage may be stepped. The steps should be positioned at zero crossings, and should be no
larger than 10 % of U . Steps under 1 % of U are considered as constant rates of change of
T T
voltage.

6.1 Test generator
6.1.1 General
The following features are common to the generator for voltage dips, short interruptions and
voltage variations, except as indicated.
Examples of generators are given in Annex C.
The generator shall have provisions to prevent the emission of heavy disturbances, which, if
injected in the power supply network, can influence the test results.
Any generator creating a voltage dip of equal or more severe characteristics (amplitude and
duration) than that specified by the present document is permitted.

The output impedance shall be predominantly resistive.
The output impedance of the test voltage generator shall be low enough even during
transitions.
The 100 Ω resistive load used to test the generator should not have additional inductivity.
To test equipment which regenerates energy, an external resistor connected in parallel to the
load can be added. The test result should not be influenced by this load.
6.1.3 Verification of the characteristics of the voltage dips, short interruptions
generators
In order to compare the test results obtained from different test generators, the generator
characteristics shall be verified according to the following:
• the 100 %, 80 %, 70 % and 40 % RMS output voltages of the generator shall conform to
the percentages of the selected operating voltage: 230 V, 120 V, etc.;
• the 100 %, 80 %, 70 % and 40 % RMS output voltages of the generator shall be measured
at no load, and shall be maintained within a specified percentage of the U ;
T
• load regulation shall be verified at nominal load current at each of the output voltages and
the variation shall not exceed 5 % of the nominal power supply voltage at 100 %, 80 %,
70 % and 40 % of the nominal power supply voltage.
– 16 – IEC 61000-4-11:2020 © IEC 2020
For output voltage of 80 % of the nominal value, the above requirements need only be verified
for a maximum of 5 s duration.
For output voltages of 70 % and 40 % of the nominal value, the above requirements need only
be verified for a maximum of 3 s duration.
For output voltages of 40% of the nominal value it is acceptable to verify the load regulation
requirements either at 200 V to 240 V nominal voltage or at 100 V to 120 V nominal voltage.
If it is necessary to verify the peak inrush drive current capability, the generator shall be
switched from 0 % to 100 % of full output, when driving a load consisting of a suitable rectifier
with an uncharged capacitor whose value is 1 700 µF on the DC side. The test shall be
carried out at phase angles of both 90° and 270°. The circuit required to measure the
generator inrush current drive capability is given in Figure A.1.
When it is believed that a generator with less than the specified standard generator peak
inrush current can be used because the EUT can draw less than the specified standard
generator peak inrush current (e.g., 500 A for 220 V to 240 V mains), this shall first be
confirmed by measuring the EUT peak inrush current. When power is applied from the test
generator, the measured EUT peak inrush current shall be less than 70 % of the peak current
drive capability of the generator, as already verified according to Annex A. The actual EUT
inrush current shall be measured both from a cold start and after a 5 s turn-off, using the
procedure of Clause A.3.
Generator switching characteristics shall be measured with a 100 Ω load of suitable power-
dissipation rating.
The 100 Ω resistive load used to test the generator should not have additional inductivity.
Rise and fall time, as well as overshoot and undershoot, shall be verified for switching at both
90° and 270°, from 0 % to 100 %, 100 % to 80 %, 100 % to 70 %, 100 % to 40 %, and 100 %
to 0 %.
Phase angle accuracy shall be verified for switching from 0 % to 100 % and 100 % to 0 %,
at nine phase angles from 0° to 360° in 45° increments. It shall also be verified for switching
from 100 % to 80 % and 80 % to 100 %, 100 % to 70 % and 70 % to 100 %, as well as from
100 % to 40 % and 40 % to 100 %, at 90° and 180°.
The voltage generators shall, preferably, be recalibrated at defined time periods in
accordance with a recognized quality assurance system.
Annex D provides the rationale for generator specification regarding the voltage rise and fall
time and the inrush current capability.
6.2 Power source
The frequency of the test voltage shall be within ±2 % of rated frequency.
7 Test set-up
The test shall be performed with the EUT connected to the test generator with the shortest
power supply cable as specified by the EUT manufacturer. If no cable length is specified, it
shall be the shortest possible length suitable to the application of the EUT.
The test set-ups for the three types of phenomena described in this document are:
• voltage dips;
IEC 61000-4-11:2020 © IEC 2020 – 17 –
• short interruptions;
• voltage variations with gradual transition between the rated voltage and the changed
voltage (option).
Examples of test set-ups are given in Annex C.
Figure C.1a) shows a schematic for the generation of voltage dips, short interruptions and
voltage variations with gradual transition between rated and changed voltage using a
generator with internal switching. In Figure C.1b) a generator and a power amplifier are used.
Figure C.2 shows a schematic for the generation of voltage dips, short interruptions and
voltage variations using a generator and a power amplifier for three-phase equipment.
8 Test procedures
8.1 General
Before starting the test of a given EUT, a test plan shall be prepared.
The test plan should be representative of the way the system is actually used.
Systems can require a precise pre-analysis to define which system configurations shall be
tested to reproduce field situations.
Test cases shall be explained and indicated in the test report.
It is recommended that the test plan include the following items:
• the type designation of the EUT;
• information on possible connections (plugs, terminals, etc.) and corresponding cables, and
peripherals;
• input power port of equipment to be tested;
• representative operational modes of the EUT for the test;
• performance criteria used and defined in the technical specifications;
• operational mode(s) of equipment;
• description of the test set-up.
If the actual operating signal sources are not available to the EUT, they can be simulated.
For each test, any degradation of performance shall be recorded. The monitoring equipment
should be capable of displaying the status of the operational mode of the EUT during and
after the tests. After each group of tests, a full functional check shall be performed.
8.2 Laboratory reference conditions
8.2.1 Climatic conditions
Unless otherwise specified by the committee responsible for the generic or product standard,
the climatic conditions in the laboratory shall be within any limits specified for the operation of
the EUT and the test equipment by their respective manufacturers.
Tests shall not be performed if the relative humidity is so high as to cause condensation on
the EUT or the test equipment.

Voltage dips, short interruptions and voltage variations immunity
tests for equipment with input current up to 16 A per phase
FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 61000-4-11 has been prepared by subcommittee 77A: EMC – Low
frequency phenomena, of IEC technical committee 77: Electromagnetic compatibility.
It forms Part 4-11 of IEC 61000. It has the status of a basic EMC publication in accordance
with IEC Guide 107.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2004 and
Amendment 1:2017. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
edition:

ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY (EMC) –
Part 4-11: Testing and measurement techniques –
Voltage dips, short interruptions and voltage variations immunity
tests for equipment with input current up to 16 A per phase
1 Scope
This part of IEC 61000 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 document applies to electrical and electronic equipment having a rated input current not
exceeding 16 A per phase, for connection to 50 Hz or 60 Hz AC networks.
It does not apply to electrical and electronic equipment for connection to 400 Hz AC networks.
Tests for these networks will be covered by future IEC documents.
The object of this document is to establish a common reference for evaluating the immunity of
electrical and electronic equipment when subjected to voltage dips, short interruptions and
voltage variations.
NOTE 1 Voltage fluctuation immunity tests are covered by IEC 61000-4-14.
The test method documented in this document describes a consistent method to assess the
immunity of equipment or a system against a defined phenomenon.
NOTE 2 As described in IEC Guide 107, this is a basic EMC publication for use by product committees of the
IEC. As also stated in Guide 107, the IEC product committees are responsible for determining whether this
immunity test standard should be applied or not, and, if applied, they are responsible for defining the appropriate
test levels. Technical committee 77 and its sub-committees are prepared to co-operate with product committees in
the evaluation of the value of particular immunity tests for their products.

4 General
Electrical and electronic equipment can be affected by voltage dips, short interruptions or
voltage variations of the power supply.
Voltage dips and short interruptions occur due to faults in a (public or non-public) network or
in installations by sudden changes of large loads. In certain cases, two or more consecutive
dips or interruptions can occur. Voltage variations are caused by continuously varying loads
connected to the network.
These phenomena are random in nature and can be minimally characterized for the purpose
of laboratory simulation in terms of the deviation from the rated voltage and duration.
Consequently, different types of tests are specified in this document to simulate the effects of
abrupt voltage change. These tests are to be used only for particular and justified cases,
under the responsibility of product specification or product committees.
It is the responsibility of the product committees to establish which phenomena among the
ones considered in this document are relevant and to decide on the applicability of the test.
5 Test levels
5.1 General
The voltages in this document use the rated voltage for the equipment (U ) as a basis for the
T
voltage test level specification.
Where the equipment has a rated voltage range the following shall apply:
• if the voltage range does not exceed 20 % of the lower voltage specified for the rated
voltage range, a single voltage within that range may be specified as a basis for the test
level specification (U );
T
• in all other cases, the test procedure shall be applied for both the lowest and highest
voltages declared in the voltage range;
• guidance for the selection of test levels and durations is given in IEC TR 61000-2-8.
5.2 Voltage dips and short interruptions
The change between U and the changed voltage is abrupt. The step can start and stop
T
at any phase angle on the mains voltage. The following test voltage levels (in % U )
T
are used: 0 %, 40 %, 70 % and 80 %, corresponding to dips with residual voltages of 0 %,
40 %, 70 % and 80 %.
For voltage dips, the preferred test levels and durations are given in Table 1, and an example
is shown in Figure 1a) and Figure 1b).
– 10 – IEC 61000-4-11:2020 © IEC 2020
For short interruptions, the preferred test levels and durations are given in Table 2, and an
example is shown in Figure 2.
The rise and fall time are detailed in Figure 3.
The preferred test levels and durations given in Table 1 and Table 2 take into account the
information given in IEC TR 61000-2-8.
The preferred test levels in Table 1 are reasonably severe, and are representative of many
real world dips, but are not intended to guarantee immunity to all voltage dips. More severe
dips, for example 0 % for 1 s and balanced three-phase dips, may be considered by product
committees.
The generator specification for voltage rise time, t , and voltage fall time, t , during abrupt
r f
changes is indicated in Table 4.
The levels and durations shall be given in the product specification. A test level of 0 %
corresponds to a total supply voltage interruption. In practice, a test voltage level from 0 % to
20 % of the rated voltage may be considered as a total interruption.
Shorter durations in Table 1, in particular the half-cycle, should be tested to ensure that the
equipment under test (EUT) operates within the performance limits specified for it.
When setting performance criteria for disturbances of a half-period duration for products with
a mains transformer, product committees should pay particular attention to effects which can
result from inrush currents. For such products, these can reach 10 times to 40 times the rated
current because of the magnetic flux saturation of the transformer core after the voltage dip.
High inrush currents can also occur in products with capacitors (e.g. EMC filters, bridge
rectifiers connected to DC capacitors).

5.3 Voltage variations
This test considers a defined transition between the rated voltage U and the changed
T
voltage.
NOTE The voltage change takes place over a short period, and can occur due to a change of load.
The preferred duration of the voltage changes and the time for which the reduced voltages are
to be maintained are given in Table 3. The rate of change should be constant; however, the
voltage may be stepped. The steps should be positioned at zero crossings, and should be no
larger than 10 % of U . Steps under 1 % of U are considered as constant rates of change of
T T
voltage.

The output impedance shall be predominantly resistive.
The output impedance of the test voltage generator shall be low enough even during
transitions.
The 100 Ω resistive load used to test the generator should not have additional inductivity.
To test equipment which regenerates energy, an external resistor connected in parallel to the
load can be added. The test result should not be influenced by this load.
6.1.3 Verification of the characteristics of the voltage dips, short interruptions
generators
In order to compare the test results obtained from different test generators, the generator
characteristics shall be verified according to the following:
• the 100 %, 80 %, 70 % and 40 % RMS output voltages of the generator shall conform to
the percentages of the selected operating voltage: 230 V, 120 V, etc.;
• the 100 %, 80 %, 70 % and 40 % RMS output voltages of the generator shall be measured
at no load, and shall be maintained within a specified percentage of the U ;
T
• load regulation shall be verified at nominal load current at each of the output voltages and
the variation shall not exceed 5 % of the nominal power supply voltage at 100 %, 80 %,
70 % and 40 % of the nominal power supply voltage.
– 16 – IEC 61000-4-11:2020 © IEC 2020
For output voltage of 80 % of the nominal value, the above requirements need only be verified
for a maximum of 5 s duration.
For output voltages of 70 % and 40 % of the nominal value, the above requirements need only
be verified for a maximum of 3 s duration.
For output voltages of 40% of the nominal value it is acceptable to verify the load regulation
requirements either at 200 V to 240 V nominal voltage or at 100 V to 120 V nominal voltage.
If it is necessary to verify the peak inrush drive current capability, the generator shall be
switched from 0 % to 100 % of full output, when driving a load consisting of a suitable rectifier
with an uncharged capacitor whose value is 1 700 µF on the DC side. The test shall be
carried out at phase angles of both 90° and 270°. The circuit required to measure the
generator inrush current drive capability is given in Figure A.1.
When it is believed that a generator with less than the specified standard generator peak
inrush current can be used because the EUT can draw less than the specified standard
generator peak inrush current (e.g., 500 A for 220 V to 240 V mains), this shall first be
confirmed by measuring the EUT peak inrush current. When power is applied from the test
generator, the measured EUT peak inrush current shall be less than 70 % of the peak current
drive capability of the generator, as already verified according to Annex A. The actual EUT
inrush current shall be measured both from a cold start and after a 5 s turn-off, using the
procedure of Clause A.3.
Generator switching characteristics shall be measured with a 100 Ω load of suitable power-
dissipation rating.
The 100 Ω resistive load used to test the generator should not have additional inductivity.
Rise and fall time, as well as overshoot and undershoot, shall be verified for switching at both
90° and 270°, from 0 % to 100 %, 100 % to 80 %, 100 % to 70 %, 100 % to 40 %, and 100 %
to 0 %.
Phase angle accuracy shall be verified for switching from 0 % to 100 % and 100 % to 0 %,
at nine phase angles from 0° to 360° in 45° increments. It shall also be verified for switching
from 100 % to 80 % and 80 % to 100 %, 100 % to 70 % and 70 % to 100 %, as well as from
100 % to 40 % and 40 % to 100 %, at 90° and 180°.
The voltage generators shall, preferably, be recalibrated at defined time periods in
accordance with a recognized quality assurance system.
Annex D provides the rationale for generator specification regarding the voltage rise and fall
time and the inrush current capability.
6.2 Power source
The frequency of the test voltage shall be within ±2 % of rated frequency.
7 Test set-up
The test shall be performed with the EUT connected to the test generator with the shortest
power supply cable as specified by the EUT manufacturer. If no cable length is specified, it
shall be the shortest possible length suitable to the application of the EUT.
The test set-ups for the three types of phenomena described in this document are:
• voltage dips;
IEC 61000-4-11:2020 © IEC 2020 – 17 –
• short interruptions;
• voltage variations with gradual transition between the rated voltage and the changed
voltage (option).
Examples of test set-ups are given in Annex C.
Figure C.1a) shows a schematic for the generation of voltage dips, short interruptions and
voltage variations with gradual transition between rated and changed voltage using a
generator with internal switching. In Figure C.1b) a generator and a power amplifier are used.
Figure C.2 shows a schematic for the generation of voltage dips, short interruptions and
voltage variations using a generator and a power amplifier for three-phase equipment.
8 Test procedures
8.1 General

The test plan should be representative of the way the system is actually used.
Systems can require a precise pre-analysis to define which system configurations shall be
tested to reproduce field situations.
Test cases shall be explained and indicated in the test report.
It is recommended that the test plan include the following items:
