IEC 61000-4-5:2014+AMD1:2017 CSV Consolidated version
Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) - Part 4-5: Testing and measurement techniques - Surge immunity testAbstractIEC 61000-4-5:2014+A1:2017 relates to the immunity requirements, test methods, and range of recommended test levels for equipment with regard to unidirectional surges caused by over-voltages from switching and lightning transients. Several test levels are defined which relate to different environment and installation conditions. These requirements are developed for and are applicable to electrical and electronic equipment. The object of this standard is to establish a common reference for evaluating the immunity of electrical and electronic equipment when subjected to surges. The test method documented describes a consistent method to assess the immunity of an equipment or system against a defined phenomenon. This standard defines a range of: - test levels; - test equipment; - test setups; and - test procedures. The task of the described laboratory test is to find the reaction of the equipment under test (EUT) under specified operational conditions to surge voltages caused by switching and lightning effects. It is not intended to test the capability of the EUT's insulation to withstand high-voltage stress. Direct injections of lightning currents, i.e. direct lightning strikes, are not considered in this standard. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2005, and constitutes a technical revision which includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: - a new Annex E on mathematical modelling of surge waveforms; - a new Annex F on measurement uncertainty; - a new Annex G on method of calibration of impulse measuring systems; and - a new Annex H on coupling/decoupling surges to lines rated above 200 A. -Moreover while surge test for ports connected to outside telecommunication lines was addressed in 6.2 of the second edition (IEC 61000-4-5:2005), in this third edition (IEC 61000-4-5:2014) the normative Annex A is fully dedicated to this topic. In particular it gives the specifications of the 10/700 μs combined wave generator. This consolidated version consists of the third edition (2014) and its amendment 1 (2017). Therefore, no need to order amendment in addition to this publication.
INTRODUCTION to the amendment
Rationale: The method for testing DC products in the current revision of IEC61000-4-5 is causing many
field related problems for test labs and manufacturers. Many products will not power up
through the power CDN in the standard and in some cases may be damaged by the
inductance that is necessary to apply the surge (see 77B/734/DC for further information). The DC./DC converter problem is related to the switching of the converter which produces a
voltage drop at the decoupling inductors on one hand and oscillations produced by the EUT
impedance in combination with the source on the other hand. Measurements were performed
using different brands of CDNs with a device known to show that problem as an EUT. The
result shows different oscillations and signal forms of the voltage at the EUT for different
CDNs. According to the outcome, the use of a CDN with a higher current rating (i.e. smaller
decoupling inductivity) can solve the problem. At the meeting of SC77B/MT12 in Akishima,
Japan on August 26, 2016, it was decided to add a statement into 7.3 allowing surge tests
with higher current rated CDNs and to add a new Annex I to explain the problem in detail.
