Dave, IEC61000-4-7 applies to only 61000-3-2 and 61000-3-12 (both harmonics standards). The IEC 61000-4-15 is the spec's for flickermeter design and applies to EN/IEC61000-3-3 and 3-11. Not sure when a new version of 61000-4-7 is due. I've been asking around for a few months. As I understand it, there are issues with the interharmonics and the grouping criteria. But still haven't gotten a straight answer so I'm sorta guessing, based on some limited issues I've observed. You still use the current version (as called out in the OJ) of EN61000-3-2 and EN61000-3-12. However, if you cannot meet the interharmonics requirements, "you may", per section 7 of IEC 61000-4-7: 2002 use the 1991 version; provided you make a statement in the report that the EUT was tested using equipment compliant to the 1991 version (1993 if using the EN) . If you are using EN61000-3-2:2000, the measurement standard it references is EN61000-4-7:1993, while EN61000-3-2:2006 has no dated reference and therefore you must apply the most current version of IEC 61000-4-7 (2002). And for EN61000-3-11 it also references an undated IEC61000-4-7. Not sure why they use the IEC rather than adopting it as is, as an EN????? If I got any of that wrong, I'm sure I'll be corrected. :-) Hope that answers the questions. Regards, Dave Spencer EMC Engineer Xerox Corp.

((I do have a copy of BS EN 61000-4-7:2002 incorporating Corr # 1 & 2.)) IF this is so: 2) What previous revision of 61000-3-2 can I use? 3) What previous revision of 61000-3-3 can I use? Thanks emc-guys, you have been great! Regards, Dave Garnier David Garnier e GE HealthCare ___________________________________________ David S.
