– težave z elektromagnetno združljivostjo v frekvenčnem območju od 2 kHz do 150 kHz, ki se nanašajo na elektromagnetno združljivost med električno opremo na splošno ter elektromagnetno združljivost med neomrežno komunikacijsko opremo/sistemi (NCE) in omrežnimi komunikacijskimi sistemi (MCS) kot posebno težavo;
– stanje povezanih emisij v omrežju v danem trenutku, z drugimi rezultati meritev;
– primere elektromagnetnih motenj in povezani rezultati preiskave;
– nove ugotovitve o parametrih, ki jih je treba upoštevati pri obravnavanju elektromagnetne združljivosti v tem frekvenčnem območju, zlasti glede:
a) vpliva omrežne impedance in njene spremembe v časovnem obdobju na bolj ali manj moten učinek emisij v tem frekvenčnem območju,
b) obnašanja emisij v tem frekvenčnem območju v določenem časovnem obdobju in naraščajoče potrebe po opravljanju tudi meritev časovne domene za celovito oceno emisij in njihovih možnosti za povzročanje motenj;
– dejansko stanje standardizacije;
– nadaljnje potrebe glede:
a) meritve povezanih emisij,
b) preverjanja impedance v omrežju/napravah v določenem časovnem obdobju,
c) zapiranja vrzeli pri standardizaciji,
d) smernic za vgradnjo in morebitnih regulativnih ukrepov v zvezi z učinkom staranja.
Glede na različne položaje pri ocenjevanju povezanih težav elektromagnetne združljivosti z dodatnimi rezultati meritev ravni emisij v omrežju oskrbe in rezultati preiskav dodatnih dokazanih primerov elektromagnetnih motenj so omenjene težave podrobneje obravnavane in podana so priporočila glede nadaljnjih ustreznih ukrepov.
