Power line communication apparatus and systems used in low-voltage installations in the frequency range 1,6 MHz to 30 MHz -- Part 2-1: Residential, commercial and industrial environment - Immunity requirements

This standard applies to electrical equipment using signals in the frequency range 1,6 MHz to 30 MHz to transmit information on low voltage electrical systems, either on the public supply system or within installations in consumers. premises. It does not specify the signal modulation methods nor the coding methods nor functional features. Environmental requirements and tests are not included. The immunity requirements have been selected so as to ensure an adequate level of immunity for apparatus at residential, commercial and light industrial premises (Class 1 environment), and industrial premises supplied from a dedicated HV/MV or MV/LV transformers (Class 2 environment). The severity levels required by this standard may not cover extreme cases which may occur in any location but with a low probability of occurrence. In special cases situations will arise where the level of disturbances may exceed the levels specified in this standard (e.g. where a hand-held transmitter is used in proximity to an apparatus). In these instances special mitigation measures may be required.

Kommunikationsgeräte und -systeme auf elektrischen Niederspannungsnetzen im Frequenzbereich 1,6 MHz bis 30 MHz -- Teil 2-1: Für den Gebrauch in Wohnbereichen, Geschäfts- und Gewerbebereichen sowie in Kleinbetrieben und in industriellen Räumlichkeiten - Störfestigkeitsanforderungen

Diese Norm gilt für elektrische Betriebsmittel, die Signale im Frequenzbereich 1,6 MHz bis 30 MHz nutzen, um Informationen auf elektrischen Niederspannungsnetzen in öffentlichen Versorgungssystemen oder in Kundenanlagen zu übertragen.
Sie beschreibt weder Modulationsarten noch Kodierungsmethoden noch funktionale Merkmale. Umgebungs-anforderungen und Prüfungen sind nicht enthalten.
Die Störfestigkeitsanforderungen wurden so ausgewählt, um einen hinreichenden Grad an Störfestigkeit für Geräte im Wohnbereich, Geschäfts- und Gewerbebereich sowie Kleinbetrieben (Klasse 1 Umgebung) und in industriellen Räumlichkeiten, die über einen eigenen HV/MV oder MV/LV Transformator versorgt sind (Klasse 2 Umgebung) sicherzustellen.
Die Schärfegrade, die nach dieser Norm gefordert sind, decken jedoch nicht extreme Fälle ab, die in manchen Einsatzorten mit einer sehr geringen Wahrscheinlichkeit auftreten können. In besonderen Fällen wird es Situationen geben, wo die Störgröße den in dieser Norm aufgeführten Wert überschreiten kann, z. B. wo ein Sprechfunkgerät in der Nähe eines Gerätes betrieben wird. In diesen besonderen Fällen können spezielle Abhilfemaßnahmen erforderlich werden.

Equipements et systèmes de communication par courants porteurs utilisés dans les installations à basse tension dans la gamme de fréquences de 1,6 MHz à 20 MHz -- Partie 2-1: Environnement résidentiel, commercial et de l'industrie légère - Exigences d'immunité

Cette norme s'applique aux équipements électriques utilisant des signaux dans la gamme de fréquence de 1,6 MHz à 30 MHz pour transmettre l'information sur les réseaux électriques à basse tension, soit sur le réseau d'alimentation public, ou dans des installations privatives.
Elle ne spécifie pas les méthodes de modulation du signal ni les méthodes de codage, ni les dispositions fonctionnelles. Les exigences environnementales et les essais ne sont pas inclus.
Les exigences d'immunité ont été sélectionnées afin d'assurée un niveau adéquat d'immunité pour les appareils dans des installations résidentielles, commerciales ou de l'industrie légère (environnements de classe 1), et les installations industrielles alimentées par des transformateurs dédiés HT/MT ou MT/BT (environnement de classe 2)
Les niveaux de sévérité requis par la présente norme ne couvrent pas les cas extrêmes qui peuvent apparaître mais avec une très faible probabilité. Dans des cas spéciaux, des situations peuvent apparaître dans lesquelles des niveaux de perturbation peuvent dépasser les niveaux d’essai spécifiés dans la présente norme, (par exemple lorsqu’un émetteur portatif est utilisé à proximité d’un appareil). Dans ces cas particuliers, des mesures spécifiques de réductions peuvent s'avérer nécessaires.

1 Scope
This standard applies to electrical equipment using signals in the frequency range 1,6 MHz to 30 MHz
to transmit information on low voltage electrical systems, either on the public supply system or within
installations in consumers’ premises.
It does not specify the signal modulation methods nor the coding methods nor functional features.
Environmental requirements and tests are not included.
The immunity requirements have been selected so as to ensure an adequate level of immunity for
apparatus at residential, commercial and light industrial premises (Class 1 environment), and industrial
premises supplied from a dedicated HV/MV or MV/LV transformers (Class 2 environment).
The severity levels required by this standard may not cover extreme cases which may occur in any
location but with a low probability of occurrence. In special cases situations will arise where the level
of disturbances may exceed the levels specified in this standard (e.g. where a hand-held transmitter is
used in proximity to an apparatus). In these instances special mitigation measures may be required.

4 Objective
The objective of this standard is to define the immunity test requirements for apparatus defined in the
scope in relation to continuous and transient, conducted and radiated disturbances including
electrostatic discharge.
Test requirements are specified for each port considered.
5 Description of locations
Locations which are characterized by being supplied directly at low voltage from the public mains
network are considered to be Class 1 environments.
Examples of Class 1 locations are as follows:
– residential properties, e.g. houses and apartments;
– retail outlets, e.g. shops and supermarkets;
– business premises, e.g. offices and banks;
– areas of public entertainment e.g. cinemas, public bars and dance halls;
– outdoors locations e.g. petrol locations, car parks, amusements and sports centres;
– light-industrial locations e.g. workshops, laboratories and service centres.
Class 2 locations are characterised by the existence of one or more of the following conditions:
– a power network exists powered by a high or medium voltage power transformer dedicated for
the supply of an installation feeding manufacturing or similar plant;
– industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) apparatus are present;
– heavy inductive or capacitive loads are frequently switched;
– currents and associated magnetic fields are high.
6 Conditions during testing
A minimum test configuration consists of two pieces of powerline communications equipment
interconnected with manufacturer specified physical cable. Associated equipment necessary to the
function of the powerline network shall be included in the test configuration.
The system shall be capable of transmitting and receiving data at the nominal transmission rate
specified by the manufacturer.
The powerline equipment shall execute a programme that exercises all the functions available to the
end user. As a minimum the functions described in Clause 7 of this standard “Performance criteria”
shall be tested.
