Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) - Part 4-13: Testing and measurement techniques - Harmonics and interharmonics including mains signalling at a.c. power port, low frequency immunity tests

IEC 61000-4-13:2002+A1:2009 defines the immunity test methods and range of recommended basic test levels for electrical and electronic equipment with rated current up to 16 A per phase at disturbance frequencies up to and including 2 kHz (for 50 Hz mains) and 2,4 kHz (for 60 Hz mains) for harmonics and interharmonics on low voltage power networks. It establishes a common reference for evaluating the functional immunity of electrical and electronic equipment when subjected to harmonics and inter-harmonics and mains signalling frequencies. The test method documented in this part of IEC 61000 describes a consistent method to assess the immunity of an equipment or system against a defined phenomenon.
This consolidated version consists of the first edition (2002) and its amendment 1 (2009). Therefore, no need to order amendments in addition to this publication.

Compatibilité électromagnétique (CEM) - Partie 4-13: Techniques d'essai et de mesure - Essais d'immunité basse fréquence aux harmoniques et inter-harmoniques incluant les signaux transmis sur le réseau électrique alternatif

La CEI 61000-4-13:2002+A1:2009 définit les méthodes d'essai d'immunité ainsi que la gamme des niveaux d'essais fondamentaux recommandés pour les matériels électriques et électroniques dont le courant assigné d'entrée est inférieur à 16 A par phase, à des fréquences de perturbation allant jusqu'à et y compris 2 kHz (pour réseau 50 Hz) et 2,4 kHz (pour réseau 60 Hz) pour des harmoniques et inter-harmoniques sur réseaux d'alimentation basse tension. Elle établit une référence commune pour l'évaluation de l'immunité fonctionnelle des matériels électriques et électroniques soumis aux harmoniques et inter-harmoniques et aux fréquences des signaux transmis sur le réseau. La méthode d'essai décrite dans cette partie de la CEI 61000 décrit une méthode robuste pour estimer l'immunité d'un matériel ou d'un système à un phénomène prédéfini.
Cette version consolidée comprend la première édition (2002) et son amendement 1 (2009). Il n'est donc pas nécessaire de commander les amendements avec cette publication.

ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY (EMC) –

Part 4-13 : Testing and measurement techniques –
Harmonics and interharmonics including mains signalling at
a.c. power port, low frequency immunity tests



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
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.

International Standard IEC 61000-4-13 has been prepared by subcommittee 77A: Low
frequency phenomena, of IEC technical committee 77: Electromagnetic compatibility.
This consolidated version of IEC 61000-4-13 consists of the first edition (2002) [documents
77A/368/FDIS and 77A/377/RVD] and its amendment 1 (2009) [documents 77A/668/CDV and
77A/684/RVC].
The technical content is therefore identical to the base edition and its amendment and has
been prepared for user convenience.
It bears the edition number 1.1.
A vertical line in the margin shows where the base publication has been modified by
amendment 1.

61000-4-13 © IEC:2002+A1:2009 – 5 –
This standard has the status of a basic EMC publication in accordance with lEC Guide 107.
Annexes A, B, and C, are for information only.
The committee has decided that the contents of the base publication and its amendments will
remain unchanged until the maintenance result 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.

IMPORTANT – The “colour inside” logo on the cover page of this publication indicates
that it contains colours which are considered to be useful for the correct understanding

ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY (EMC) –

Part 4-13: Testing and measurement techniques –
Harmonics and interharmonics including mains signalling at
a.c. power port, low frequency immunity tests



1 Scope and object
This part of IEC 61000 defines the immunity test methods and range of recommended basic
test levels for electrical and electronic equipment with rated current up to 16 A per phase at
disturbance frequencies up to and including 2 kHz (for 50 Hz mains) and 2,4 kHz (for 60 Hz
mains) for harmonics and interharmonics on low voltage power networks.
It does not apply to electrical and electronic equipment connected to 16 2/3 Hz , or to 400 Hz
a.c. networks. Tests for these networks will be covered by future standards.
The object of this standard is to establish a common reference for evaluating the functional
immunity of electrical and electronic equipment when subjected to harmonics and inter-
harmonics and mains signalling frequencies. The test method documented in this part of IEC
61000 describes a consistent method to assess the immunity of an equipment or system
against a defined phenomenon. As described in IEC Guide 107, this is a basic EMC publication
for use by product committees of the IEC. As also stated in Guide 107, the IEC product
committees are responsible for determining whether this immunity test standard should be
applied or not, and if applied, they are responsible for determining the appropriate test levels
and performance criteria. TC 77 and its sub-committees are prepared to co-operate with
product committees in the evaluation of the value of particular immunity tests for their products.
The verification of the reliability of electrical components (for example capacitors, filters, etc.)
is not in the scope of the present standard. Long term thermal effects (greater than 15 min) are
not considered in this standard.
The levels proposed are more adapted for residential, commercial and light industry
environments. For heavy industrial environments the product committees are responsible for
the definition of a class X with the necessary levels. They have also the possibility of defining
more complex waveforms for their own need. Nevertheless, the simple waveforms proposed
have been mainly observed on several networks (flat curve more often for single phase
system) and also on industrial networks (overswing curve more for three phase systems).

4 General
4.1 Description of the phenomenon
4.1.1 Harmonics
Harmonics are sinusoidal voltages and currents with frequencies that are integer multiples of
the frequency at which the supply system operates.
Harmonic disturbances are generally caused by equipment with non-linear voltage – current
characteristics or by periodic and line-synchronised switching of loads. Such equipment may be
regarded as sources of harmonic currents.
The harmonic currents from the different sources produce harmonic voltage drops across the
impedance of the network.
As a result of cable capacitance, line inductance and the connection of power factor correction
capacitors, parallel or series resonance may occur in the network and cause a harmonic
voltage amplification even at a remote point from the distorting load. The waveforms proposed
are the result of the summation of different harmonic orders of one or several harmonic
sources.
4.1.2 Interharmonics
Between the harmonics of the power frequency voltage and current, further frequencies can be
observed which are not an integer multiple of the fundamental. They can appear as discrete
frequencies or as a wide-band spectrum. Summation of different interharmonic sources is not
likely and is not taken into account in this standard.
4.1.3 Mains signalling (ripple control)
Signal frequencies ranging from 110 Hz to 3 kHz used in networks or parts of them in order to
transfer information from a sending point to one or more receiving points.
For the scope of this standard, the frequency range is limited to 2 kHz/50 Hz (2,4 kHz/60 Hz).
4.2 Sources
4.2.1 Harmonics
Harmonic currents are generated to a small extent by generation, transmission and distribution
equipment and to a greater extent by industrial and residential loads. Sometimes, there are
only a few sources generating significant harmonic currents in a network; the individual
harmonic level of the majority of the other devices is low, nevertheless these may make a
relatively high contribution to the harmonic voltage distortion, at least for low order harmonics
due to their summation.
Significant harmonic currents in a network can be generated by non-linear loads, for example:
– controlled and uncontrolled rectifiers, especially with capacitive smoothing (for example
used in television, indirect and direct static frequency converters, and self-ballasted lamps),
because these harmonics are in approximately the same phase from different sources and
there is only poor compensation in the network;
– phase controlled equipment, some types of computers and UPS equipment.
Sources may produce harmonics at a constant or varying level, depending on the method of
operation.

---------------------- Page: 11 ----------------------
– 10 – 61000-4-13 © IEC:2002+A1:2009
4.2.2 Interharmonics
Sources of interharmonics can be found in low-voltage networks as well as in medium-voltage
and high voltage networks. The interharmonics produced in the medium-voltage/high voltage
networks flow in the low-voltage networks they supply and vice versa.
The main sources are indirect and direct static frequency converters, welding machines and
arc furnaces.
4.2.3 Mains signalling (ripple control)
Sources of mains signalling frequencies covered by this standard are transmitters operating
mostly in the 110 Hz to 2 kHz (2,4 kHz) frequency range in order for the public supplier to
control equipment in the supply network (public lighting, tariffs for meters, etc.). The transmitter
energy is coupled into the system on HV, MV, or LV level. The transmitters operate with
interrupted signals, and normally for a short time only. The frequencies used lie normally in
between the harmonics.
5 Test levels
The test level is the harmonic voltage specified as a percentage of the fundamental voltage.
The voltages given in this standard have the nominal power supply network voltage (U
1
fundamental) as a basis.
It is essential that the r.m.s. voltage of the resultant waveforms remain at the nominal value
during the application of these tests by adjusting the voltage values of fundamental and
harmonics according to the percentages indicated in the corresponding tables (for example
230 V r.m.s., 120 V r.m.s.).
5.1 Harmonics test levels
The preferential range of test levels for individual harmonics are given in tables 1 to 3.
Harmonic voltages at a test level of 3 % and higher, up to the 9th harmonic, shall be applied
using a phase shift of both 0° and 180° with respect to the positive zero-crossing of the
fundamental. Harmonic voltages at a test level of less than 3 % shall be applied using no
phase-shift with respect to the positive zero-crossing of the fundamental.
For compatibility levels see IEC 61000-2-2 using factor k. Immunity levels have to be higher
(for example times 1,5 additionally).
The application of the test to a multiphase EUT is given in 8.2.5.
