Calling experts on IEC or EN 61000-3-3 & 61000-3-11, I have a client who has a 4 channel, professional lighting dimmer device, designed to be used for small stage productions (schools etc). The device is failing 61000-3-3 flicker requirements. This device is designed to switch the lighting outputs on and off at high rates - potentially 7 times per second, and the result naturally is a poor result in the flicker tests. The user is in direct control of the switching rate and therefore the potential resulting "flicker" detected on the mains.
As I understand it, 61000-3-11 also includes requirements for "conditional connection" devices and that devices that can not comply with 61000-3-3 can be covered under 61000-3-11 as a "conditional connection" device. My questions: * Am I correct in assuming that this device would need to comply with the "conditional connection" requirements of 61000-3-11? * Can anyone give me a rough idea of the "conditional connection" restrictions/requirements? All input gratefully received. Thank you.
