This part of IEC 61000 relates to the immunity of electrical and electronic equipment to
repetitive electrical fast transients. It gives immunity requirements and test procedures related
to electrical fast transients/bursts. It additionally defines ranges of test levels and establishes
test procedures.
The object of this standard is to establish a common and reproducible reference in order to
evaluate the immunity of electrical and electronic equipment when subjected to electrical fast
transient/bursts on supply, signal, control and earth ports. 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.
The standard defines:
– test voltage waveform;
– range of test levels;
– test equipment;
– calibration and verification procedures of test equipment;
– test setups;
– test procedure.
The standard gives specifications for laboratory and in situ tests.
