EN 61000-4-15:2011

Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) - Part 4-15: Testing and measurement techniques - Flickermeter - Functional and design specifications

IEC 61000-4-15:2010 gives a functional and design specification for flicker measuring apparatus intended to indicate the correct flicker perception level for all practical voltage fluctuation waveforms. Information is presented to enable such an instrument to be constructed. A method is given for the evaluation of flicker severity on the basis of the output of flickermeters complying with this standard. The flickermeter specifications in this part of IEC 61000 relate only to measurements of 120 V and 230 V, 50 Hz and 60 Hz inputs. Characteristics of some incandescent lamps for other voltages are sufficiently similar to the values in Table 1 and Table 2, that the use of a correction factor can be applied for those other voltages. Some of these correction factors are provided in the Annex B. Detailed specifications for voltages and frequencies other than those given above, remain under consideration. The object of this part of IEC 61000 is to provide basic information for the design and the instrumentation of an analogue or digital flicker measuring apparatus. It does not give tolerance limit values of flicker severity. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 1997 and its Amendment 1 (2003) and constitutes a technical revision. This new edition, in particular, adds or clarifies the definition of several directly measured parameters, so that diverging interpretations are avoided. It has the status of a basic EMC publication in accordance with IEC Guide 107. NEW! IEC 61000-4-15:2010 is also available as IEC Standards+ 61000-4-15:2010 which contains the International Standard and its Redline version, showing all changes of the technical content compared to the previous edition.

Elektromagnetische Verträglichkeit (EMV) - Teil 4-15: Prüf- und Messverfahren - Flickermeter - Funktionsbeschreibung und Auslegungsspezifikation

Compatibilité électromagnétique (CEM) - Partie 4-15: Techniques d'essai et de mesure - Flickermètre - Spécifications fonctionnelles et de conception

La CEI 61000-4-15:2010 traite des spécifications fonctionnelles et de conception d'un appareil mesurant le flicker, destiné à indiquer le niveau correct de perception du flicker du flux lumineux (le flicker) pour toutes les formes d'ondes de fluctuation de la tension rencontrées dans la pratique. On y présente des informations permettant de construire un tel instrument. Une méthode d'évaluation de la sévérité du flicker est fournie à partir des résultats obtenus avec des flickermètres en conformité avec cette norme. Les spécifications du flickermètre dans cette partie concernent uniquement les mesures des entrées de 120 V et 230 V, 50 Hz et 60 Hz. Les caractéristiques de certaines lampes à incandescence pour d'autres tensions sont suffisamment similaires aux valeurs des Tableaux 1 et 2 pour que l'utilisation d'un facteur de correction puisse être appliquée à ces autres tensions. Certains de ces facteurs de correction sont fournis à l'Annexe B. Des spécifications détaillées pour des tensions et des fréquences autres que celles données ci-dessus sont à l'étude. L'objet de la présente partie de la CEI 61000 est de fournir les informations nécessaires à la conception et à la réalisation d'un flickermètre analogique ou numérique. Elle ne spécifie pas les valeurs limites tolérables du flicker. Cette deuxième édition annule et remplace la première édition publiée en 1997 et son amendement 1 (2003), et constitue une révision technique. Cette nouvelle édition, en particulier, ajoute ou clarifie la définition de plusieurs paramètres mesurés directement, de telle façon que l'on évite des interprétations divergentes. Elle a le statut de publication fondamentale en CEM en accord avec le Guide 107 de la CEI. NEW! La CEI 61000-4-15:2010 est également disponible sous forme de IEC Standards+ 61000-4-15:2010 qui contient la Norme internationale et sa version Redline, illustrant les modifications du contenu technique depuis l'édition précédente.

Elektromagnetna združljivost (EMC) - 4-15. del: Preskusne in merilne tehnike - Flikermeter - Specifikacije funkcij in zasnove (IEC 61000-4-15:2010 (EQV))

Ta del IEC 61000 podaja specifikacije funkcij in zasnove za aparat za merjenje flikerja, ki kaže pravilno raven zaznavanja flikerja pri vseh praktičnih valovnih oblikah nihanja napetosti. Informacije so navedene zato, da se omogoči izdelava takega instrumenta. Podana je metoda za vrednotenje intenzitete flikerja na osnovi izhodnih signalov flikermetrov, ki so v skladu s tem standardom. Specifikacije flikermetrov v tem delu IEC 61000 se nanašajo samo na meritve pri vhodnih napetostih 120 V in 230 V ter frekvencah 50 Hz in 60 Hz. Značilnosti nekaterih svetilk z žarilno nitko za druge napetosti so dovolj podobne vrednostim v preglednici 1 in 2, tako da se lahko pri teh napetostih uporabi korekcijski faktor. Nekateri od teh korekcijskih faktorjev so navedeni v dodatku B. Podrobne specifikacije za napetosti in frekvence, ki niso navedene zgoraj, se še obravnavajo. Namen tega dela IEC 61000 je zagotoviti osnovne informacije za načrtovanje, izdelavo in uporabo analognih ali digitalnih aparatov za merjenje flikerja. Ne navaja tolerančnih mejnih vrednosti za intenzivnost flikerja.
