Alan, You will find that 61000-4-3 only gives you the test method and some suggested test levels. You don't test to any of the 61000-4 series, you test to whichever standard calls them up, for example EN 50081,50082, the generic standards, or EN 55024, ITE immunity. These standards call up the methods from the 61000-4 series and tell you what level should be applied.
You need to look through the Official Journal of the EC (OJEC) list of standards and find the particular immunity standard that applies to your product. One place you can find the list is at www.yorkemc.co.uk. Luke Turnbull >>> <[email protected]> 09/18/02 06:14pm >>> With regard to radiated emission immunity and EN61000-4-3 (or IEC 801-3) I believe there are different field strengths used, depending on the environment in which the apparatus being tested is to be used. I believe equipment to be used in a well-protected environment may be tested at a lower immunity level than equipment to be used in an unprotected environment. I've ordered a copy of 61000-4-3, but while I'm waiting I'd like to know ASAP: 1) What are the definitions of the levels? 2) What field strengths are used for the various levels? (I think level 2 is 3V/m and level 3 is 10V/m) Regards, Alan ------------------------------------------- This message is from the IEEE EMC Society Product Safety Technical Committee emc-pstc discussion list.
