Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) - Part 3-14: Assessment of emission limits for harmonics, interharmonics, voltage fluctuations and unbalance for the connection of disturbing installations to LV power systems

IEC/TR 61000-3-14:2011(E) is a Technical Report which provides guidance on principles that can be used as the basis for determining the requirements for the connection of disturbing installations to low voltage (LV) public power systems. For the purposes of this part of IEC 61000, a disturbing installation means an installation (which may be a load or a generator) that produces disturbances: harmonics and/or interharmonics, voltage flicker and/or rapid voltage changes, and/or voltage unbalance. The primary objective is  to provide guidance to system operators or owners for engineering practices, which will facilitate the provision of adequate service quality for all connected customer installations. In addressing installations, this report is not intended to replace equipment standards for emission limits. This report addresses the allocation of the capacity of the system to absorb disturbances. It does not address how to mitigate disturbances, nor does it address how the capacity of the system can be increased.

Elektromagnetna združljivost (EMC) - 3-14. del: Ocena oddajnih mej za harmonike, medharmonike, napetostne spremembe in neravnotežje za priklop motečih naprav v NN elektroenergetska omrežja

Ta del standarda IEC 61000, ki je informativne narave, zagotavlja napotke za načela, ki jih je mogoče uporabiti kot osnovo za določanje zahtev za priklop motečih naprav v nizkonapetostna (NN) elektroenergetska omrežja. Moteča naprava je za namene tega dela standarda IEC 61000 naprava (ki je lahko obremenitev ali generator), ki proizvaja motnje – harmoniki in/ali medharmoniki, nihanja napetosti in/ali hitre spremembe napetosti in/ali neravnotežje napetosti. Glavni cilj je operaterjem ali lastnikom sistema zagotoviti napotke za inženirske prakse, kar bo olajšalo zagotavljanje ustrezne kakovosti storitev za vse priklopljene naprave strank. Namen tega poročila v okviru obravnavanja naprav ni nadomestitev standardov opreme za oddajne meje.

ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY (EMC) –

Part 3-14: Assessment of emission limits for harmonics, interharmonics,
voltage fluctuations and unbalance for the connection of disturbing
installations to LV power systems


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.
The main task of IEC technical committees is to prepare International Standards. However, a
technical committee may propose the publication of a technical report when it has collected
data of a different kind from that which is normally published as an International Standard, for
example "state of the art".
IEC 61000-3-14, which is a technical report, has been prepared by subcommittee 77A: Low
frequency phenomena, of IEC technical committee 77: Electromagnetic compatibility.
It forms part 3-14 of IEC 61000. It has the status of a basic EMC publication in accordance
with IEC Guide 107.
The first edition of this technical report has been harmonised with IEC/TR 61000-3-6,
IEC/TR 61000-3-7 and IEC/TR 61000-3-13.

IEC 61000 is published in separate parts according to the following structure:
Part 1: General
General considerations (introduction, fundamental principles)
Definitions, terminology
Part 2: Environment
Description of the environment
Classification of the environment
Compatibility levels

Each part is further subdivided into several parts published either as International Standards
or as technical specifications or technical reports, some of which have already been published
as sections. Others will be published with the part number followed by a dash and a second
number identifying the subdivision (example: IEC 61000-6-1).
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
In 2002, the IEC subcommittee 77A made a request to Cigre study committee C4 and Cired
study committee S2, to organize an appropriate technical forum (joint working group) whose
main scope was to prepare, among other tasks, a technical report concerning emission limits
for the connection of disturbing installations to LV public supply systems.
To this effect, joint working group CIGRE C4.103/ CIRED entitled ‘’Emission Limits for
Disturbing Installations’’ was appointed in 2003. The working group held 11 formal meetings
dedicated to the revision of IEC/TR 61000-3-6 and IEC/TR 61000-3-7, and the preparation of
two other technical reports on emission limits for voltage unbalance (IEC/TR 61000-3-13) and
emission limits for disturbing installations connected at LV (this report).
Subsequent endorsement of the report by IEC was the responsibility of SC 77A.

ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY (EMC) –

Part 3-14: Assessment of emission limits for harmonics, interharmonics,
voltage fluctuations and unbalance for the connection of disturbing
installations to LV power systems



1 Scope
This part of IEC 61000, which is informative in its nature, provides guidance on principles that
can be used as the basis for determining the requirements for the connection of disturbing
installations to low voltage (LV) public power systems. For the purposes of this part of
IEC 61000, a disturbing installation means an installation (which may be a load or a
generator) that produces disturbances: harmonics and/or interharmonics, voltage flicker
and/or rapid voltage changes, and/or voltage unbalance. The primary objective is to provide
guidance to system operators or owners for engineering practices, which will facilitate the
provision of adequate service quality for all connected customer installations. In addressing
installations, this report is not intended to replace equipment standards for emission limits.
NOTE 1 In this report, low voltage (LV) refers to U ≤1 kV.
