Greetings. A question came up recently where I work about the current requirements of the AC source used for testing voltage dips and interrupts. I was told the scope of the standard is for products up to 16A and that *includes* inrush current during turn-on.
I referenced table 6.1.1 where the peak inrush current capability must be 500A for 200 - 240v mains voltage, but was told this table only covers AC fault conditions, not normal operations (including turn-on). Since one of the tests is a >95% interruption for 5 seconds, would this be considered an AC fault, or a normal turn-on for the EUT? Appendix A sure makes it sound like the inrush requirement is for the power-up of the EUT.
