Our company builds laboratory equipment. Some of our products draws less than 16 amp per phase and some draws more (currently up to 45 amps). We wish to purchase the test equipment to perform the EN61000-3-2 test but have held off not knowing what requirements might show up in the future EN61000-3-4 standard. We would like to purchase a tester that will not only meet our current <16amp requirement but also our future >16 amp requirements.
1. What is the current status of the EN61000-3-4? Any idea of when it may become a requirement? How might the test or levels differ from that of the current EN61000-3-2? 2. To purchase the equipment to power a 45 amp instrument is very expensive. Are there alternatives? We have a 75KW motor generator. Is it possible that the output from this generator would be adequate for testing? How about only for instruments that draw greater than 16 amps? Any additional comments, suggestions, hints or tips would be most appreciated. Brian --------- This message is coming from the emc-pstc discussion list.
