BS EN 61000-4-30:2015

What is BS EN 61000-4-30 - Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) about?

BS EN 61000-4-30 is a safety standard on Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). BS EN 61000-4-30 defines the methods for measurement and interpretation of results for power quality parameters in a.c. power supply systems with a declared fundamental frequency of 50 Hz or 60 Hz. Measurement methods are described for each relevant parameter in terms that give reliable and repeatable results, regardless of the method’s implementation. BS EN 61000-4-30 addresses measurement methods for in-situ measurements. Measurement of parameters covered by BS EN 61000-4-30 is limited to conducted phenomena in power systems. The power quality parameters considered in this standard are power frequency, the magnitude of the supply voltage, flicker, supply voltage dips, and swells, voltage interruptions, transient voltages, supply voltage unbalance, voltage harmonics and inter harmonics, mains signalling on the supply voltage, rapid voltage changes, and current measurements. Emissions in the 2 kHz to 150 kHz range are considered in Annex C (informative) of BS EN 61000-4-30 and over-and-under deviations are considered in Annex D (informative) of BS EN 61000-4-30 . Depending on the purpose of the measurement, all or a subset of the phenomena on this list is measured. Note 1: Test methods for verifying compliance with BS EN 61000-4-30
