And deviates from CISPR 24 which only requires the ½ cycle dip. Still doesn’t answer why ETSI made the change.

"Preferred test level and durations for voltage dips", Class 2, which has both 1/2 and 1 cycle 0% dips. See EN 300 386 v1.4.1 Section 2.1 Normative References [14]. The previous EN 300386 v1.3.2 cited an undated reference for 61000-4-11, but the new one is a dated reference (2004). William T.

In section 7.2.2.4 (page 26) for "Other than telecommunication centres, AC power ports", the standard gives the requirement for a "voltage dips and short interruptions immunity test" (7.2.2.4.4) stating the following: Residual voltage % 0 Criteria B Cycle 0.5 Residual voltage % 0 Criteria B Cycle 1 Both have the same performance criteria requirement (Criteria B) and both are full voltage interruptions (0%), so the two entries are redundant. Obviously, this is a typographical error. We just need to know which is the actual requirement of the standard. Either the standard wants us to test for a half cycle (10 ms) or for a full cycle (20 ms). In the earlier revision (ETSI EN 300 386 v1.1.3), section 7.2.2.4 required the following voltage interruption test: Voltage reduction % >95 Criteria B Duration ms 10 Did ETSI EN 300 386 v1.4.1 intend to keep the same duration using 0.5 cycle (same as 10ms from the past) so the other entry is the actual error, or did the committee really want to increase the required voltage interruption immunity by testing a full 1.0 cycle (doubles the requirement to 20ms) so the first entry is really the error? Note: ETSI EN 300 386 v1.4.1 is titled "Electromagnetic compatibility and Radio Spectrum Matters (ERM); Telecommunication network equipment; ElectroMagnetic Compatibility (EMC) requirements." The date of withdrawal (dow) or date when this standard revision becomes mandatory in Europe is 31 July 2011. Thank you. -- Monrad L.
