Rich, The 75W exemption may be true for 61000-3-2 but certainly not for 61000-3-3. Unfortunately, it seems to be not well understood by many laboratories as well. I have many reports issued by well-known accredited labs with this 75W statement on 61000-3-3.

It may be necessary to determine, by examination of the circuit diagram and specifications of the equipment and by a short functional test, whether significant voltage fluctuations are likely to be produced." Am I standing on firm ground assuming that equipment consuming less than 75W can be exempted from test?
