BS EN 61000-6-2:2005 - Start year: 2005
Location: Europe - United Kingdom

Description:

Electromagnetic compatibility, Electromagnetic radiation, Electromagnetic fields, Electric power system disturbances, Industrial facilities, Electrical equipment, Electronic equipment and components, Radio disturbances, Radiofrequencies, Very-high frequencies, Ultra-high frequencies, Noise (spurious signals), Frequencies, Performance testing, Electrical testing, Surges (electrical), Voltage fluctuations, Transient voltages, Voltage

Notes:

This part of IEC 61000 applies to electrical and electronic apparatus intended for use in industrial environments. Immunity requirements in the frequency range up to 400 GHz are covered.

This European Standard applies to apparatus connected to 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. It also applies to battery-operated apparatus and intended to be used in industrial locations.

The environments encompassed by this Standard are industrial, both indoor and outdoor. Industrial locations are characterized by the existence of one or more of the following:

  • industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) apparatus;
  • heavy inductive or capacitive loads are frequently switched;
  • currents and associated magnetic fields are high.

This Standard defines immunity test requirements for apparatus in relation to continuous and transient, conducted and radiated disturbances, including electrostatic discharges.

History and related standards

This European Standard supersedes BS EN 61000-6-2:2001 which will be withdrawn on 1 June 2008.

Description:

Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) - Part 6-2: Generic standards - Immunity for industrial environments 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. 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.
