These days, there are a number of "combination" testers on the market that will perform tests to both IEC 61000-4-5 and 61000-4-11. Thermo KeyTek has one for just under $10k that also does EFT and Mag fields for the same price.... Other manufacturers have similar units - prices depend on things like voltage (testing to as high as 6kV for surge), how the dip & interrupt tests are done (external variac's and switches vs. internal tap switched transformers), software control, etc...
I'll leave the CISPR 11 questions to someone more qualified than I am..... Mike Hopkins -----Original Message----- From: Bill Flanigan [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, October 30, 2002 10:27 AM To: [email protected] Subject: EN61326:1997 Planning A few questions about compliance to EN 61326. Guidance requested from my emc-pstc colleagues What happened in Amendment 2; I have the standard to +A1 Immunity: EN 61000-4-5 [Imm'y Surge] what kind of equipment is needed to conduct this test? EN 61000-4-11[Imm'y Voltage dips] what kind of equipment is needed to conduct this test? Emissions: We manufacture equipment classified under EN55011 as ClassA Group2; we generate RF energy for industrial purposes, excluding communications. Section 7.2 says 'For equipment using ISM frequencies, see CISPR11.' *Does this mean _use_ EN55011:91 for emissions limits as I have been doing? EN 61326-1 doesn't mention anything about Group2 limits. *Is there now a distinction between ISM equipment and equipment using ISM frequencies? Not trying to split hairs here, but if it doesn't actually use ISM frequencies my equipment is calssified as ISM equipment, right?
