SIST EN 61000-6-2:2002/IS1:2006

Interpretation sheet of Clause 8 of EN 61000-6-2:2001

This part of IEC 61000 for EMC immunity requirements applies to electrical and electronic apparatus intended for use in industrial environments, as described below. Immunity requirements in the frequency range 0 Hz to 400 GHz are covered. No tests need to be performed at frequencies where no requirements are specified. This generic EMC immunity standard is applicable if no relevant dedicated product or product-family EMC immunity standard exists. This standard applies to apparatus intended to be connected to a power network supplied from a high or medium voltage transformer dedicated to the supply of an installation feeding manufacturing or similar plant, and intended to operate in or in proximity to industrial locations, as described below. This standard applies also to apparatus which is battery operated and intended to be used in industrial locations. The environments encompassed by this standard are industrial, both indoor and outdoor. Industrial locations are in addition characterised by the existence of one or more of the following: - industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) apparatus (as defined in CISPR 11); - heavy inductive or capacitive loads are frequently switched; - currents and associated magnetic fields are high. The object of this standard is to define immunity test requirements for apparatus defined in the scope in relation to continuous and transient, conducted and radiated disturbances, including electrostatic discharges. The immunity requirements have been selected to ensure an adequate level of immunity for apparatus at industrial locations. The levels do not, however, cover extreme cases, which may occur at any location, but with an extremely low probability of occurrence. Not all disturbance phenomena have been included for testing purposes in this standard, but only those considered as relevant for the equipment covered by this standard. These test requirements represent essential electromagnetic compatibility immunity requirements.

English version
___________

Foreword
This Interpretation Sheet to the European Standard EN 61000-6-2:2001 was prepared by the Interpretation
Panel of the Technical Committee CENELEC TC 210, Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). The text of the
draft was submitted to the Unique Acceptance Procedure and was approved by CENELEC on 2005-07-16.
__________
Clause 8 Immunity test requirements
The last two points of this clause state:
“The description of the test, the test generator, the test methods, and the test set-up to be used are given in
the basic standards which are referred to in the following tables.
The contents of these basic standards are not repeated here; however, modifications or additional
information needed for the practical application of the tests are given in this standard.”
Question:
This implies the user must refer to the Basic standard for instructions on the application of the particular
phenomenon. How should the user proceed and how many tests should be carried out ?
Interpretation:
(a) In the case of Table 1, 1.3 Electrostatic discharge, the Basic standard is EN 61000-4-2:1995 with
Amendments A1:1998 and A2:2001.
In 8.3.1 of EN 61000-4-2 there is an instruction “The test voltage shall be increased from the minimum
to the selected test level, in order to determine any threshold of failure.” T
