Electricity metering (a.c.) - Tariff and load control - Part 11: Particular requirements for electronic ripple control receivers

Specifies particular requirements for the type test of newly manufactured indoor electronic ripple control receivers for the reception and interpretation of pulses of a single audio frequency superimposed on the voltage of the electricity distribution network and for the execution of the corresponding switching operations. In this system the mains frequency is generally used to synchronize the transmitter and receivers. Neither the control frequency nor the encoding are standardized in this standard.
This publication is of high relevance for Smart Grid.

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 provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
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

INTRODUCTION
This standard distinguishes between protective class I and protective class II equipment
The test levels are regarded as minimum values to guarantee the proper functioning of the
equipment under normal working conditions. For special applications, other test levels might
be necessary and should be agreed on between the user and the manufacturer.
Ripple control receivers are components of a system of remote control permitting the
simultaneous operation of a large number of receivers from a central point. The signal
generally used for this purpose is an audio-frequency voltage superimposed on the mains
frequency and coded in the form of pulses, which can provide a multiplicity of control
functions. Other types of signals, such as frequency modulation, deformation of the mains
frequency, etc. may also be used. These signals are propagated through the electricity supply
network, from the injection point to the receiver sites.
Some characteristics of such systems, for example, the value of the frequency or the method
of coding, are not standardized here.
To facilitate the application of this standard the following principles should be applied.
1) The requirements of this standard are not limiting. If it is absolutely unavoidable, a user
can add additional technical requirements in his specification.
The technical requirements and tests relate to the general functioning of the receiver. The
method of operation of the functional elements is not specified. These requirements and
tests may, however, be the subject of additional technical agreements.
2) Ripple control systems are auxiliary equipment for network operation. Their design is
determined by the network characteristics and other factors. At the present time rapid
development of power electronic equipment is leading to a parallel increase in the amount
of harmonic distortion in the supply voltage. The harmonic levels indicated in this standard
take account of this development. They are not to be considered as values that could be
regarded as permissible on the network but as recommended values for designing and
testing receivers. These recommended levels could be adapted to particular
characteristics of networks under consideration.
Receivers designed for use with transmitters already in operation and having a control
frequency equal, or very close, to a harmonic, need not conform to the whole of the
requirements of this standard.

International Standard IEC 62054-11 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 13:
Equipment for electrical energy measurement and load control. This standard, in conjunction
with IEC 62052-21, cancels and replaces IEC 61037:1990, Electricity metering – Tariff and

This standard is to be used in conjunction with IEC 62052-21 and the relevant parts of the
IEC 62059 series.
This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The committee has decided that the contents of the base publication and its amendment will
remain unchanged until the stability date indicated on the IEC web site under
"http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data related to the specific publication. At this date,
the publication will be
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn,
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.
A bilingual version of this publication may be issued at a later date.
NOTE The attention of National Committees is drawn to the fact that equipment manufacturers and testing
organizations may need a transitional period following publication of a new, amended or revised IEC publication in
which to make products in accordance with the new requirements and to equip themselves for conducting new or
revised tests.
It is the recommendation of the committee that the content of this publication be adopted for implementation
nationally not earlier than 2 years from the date of publication.
