EN 61000-4-6:2014

Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) - Part 4-6: Testing and measurement techniques - Immunity to conducted disturbances, induced by radio-frequency fields

IEC 61000-4-6:2013 relates to the conducted immunity requirements of electrical and electronic equipment to electromagnetic disturbances coming from intended radio-frequency (RF) transmitters in the frequency range 150 kHz up to 80 MHz. Equipment not having at least one conducting wire and/or cable (such as mains supply, signal line or earth connection) which can couple the equipment to the disturbing RF fields is excluded from the scope of this publication. The object of this standard is to establish a common reference for evaluating the functional immunity of electrical and electronic equipment when subjected to conducted disturbances induced by RF fields. The test method documented in IEC 61000-4-6:2013 describes a consistent method to assess the immunity of an equipment or system against a defined phenomenon. This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition published in 2008 and constitutes a technical revision. It includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: - use of the CDNs; - calibration of the clamps; - reorganization of Clause 7 on test setup and injection methods; - Annex A which is now dedicated to EM and decoupling clamps; - Annex G which now addresses the measurement uncertainty of the voltage test level; - and informative Annexes H, I and J which are new.

Compatibilité électromagnétique (CEM) - Partie 4-6: Techniques d'essai et de mesure - Immunité aux perturbations conduites, induites par les champs radioélectriques

La CEI 61000-4-6:2013 se rapporte aux exigences relatives à l'immunité en conduction des matériels électriques et électroniques aux perturbations électromagnétiques provoquées par des émetteurs destinés à des radiofréquences (RF), dans la gamme de fréquences de 150 kHz à 80 MHz. Les matériels n'ayant pas au moins un câble conducteur (par exemple, cordons d'alimentation, lignes de transmission de signaux ou connexions de mise à la terre) capable de coupler les matériels aux champs RF perturbateurs ne sont pas concernés par la présente norme. Cette norme a pour objet d'établir une référence commune dans le but d'évaluer l'immunité fonctionnelle des matériels électriques et électroniques, quand ils sont soumis aux perturbations conduites induites par les champs radiofréquence. La méthode d'essai documentée dans cette norme décrit une méthode cohérente ayant pour but d'évaluer l'immunité d'un matériel ou d'un système vis-à-vis d'un phénomène défini. Cette quatrième édition annule et remplace la troisième édition publiée en 2008 et constitue une révision technique. Elle inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente: - utilisation des RCD; - étalonnage des pinces; - réorganisation de l'Article 7 sur les montages d'essai et les méthodes d'injection; - l'Annexe A qui est dédiée maintenant aux pinces EM et de découplage; - l'Annexe G qui traite maintenant l'incertitude de mesure relative au niveau de tension d'essai; - et les annexes informatives H, I et J qui sont nouvelles.
