What is BS EN 61000-4-4 - Electromagnetic compatibility about?
BS EN 61000 is a series on electromagnetic compatibility . Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is the ability of electrical equipment and systems to function acceptably in their electromagnetic environment, by limiting the unintentional generation, propagation and reception of electromagnetic energy which may cause unwanted effects such as electromagnetic interference (EMI) or even physical damage in operational equipment. BS EN 61000-4-4 relates to the immunity of electrical and electronic equipment to repetitive electrical fast transients. BS EN 61000-4-4 gives immunity requirements and test procedures related to electrical fast transients/bursts and defines ranges of test levels and establishes test procedures.
The object of BS EN 61000-4-4 is to establish a common and reproducible reference for evaluating 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 BS EN 61000-4-4 describes a consistent method to assess the immunity of an equipment or system against a defined phenomenon.
