Hello everyone,
Maybe someone in the group knows the following information.
IEC 1000-4-5 (and the European Norm EN 61000-4-5) prescribes
tests for simulating the effects of voltage surges caused by switching
disturbances in the power station. I am trying to identify the "number
of pulses per minute" when applying test surges to industrial
equipment." My searching has resulted in the following answers:
1. "at least one per minute"
2. "6 pulses per minute"
3. "10 pulses per minute"
4. "12 pulses per minute"
I have also been told that there is a new edition of EN 500082-2 (issued
1997) that might provide this information. However, the usual
documentation sources only have the 1995 edition of this standard.
My two questions are:
1. Where can I find the "number of pulses per minute" defined for
industrial equipment when applying IEC 1000-4-5 or EN 61000-4-5 ?
Or does anyone know this number?
2. Does anyone have a 1997 edition of EN 500082-2 ? If you do,
where were you able to purchase it??
Thanks to anyone that can offer their input.
