This thread has tickled my interest. I have never heard of the term IPC used in 
this way nor do I understand the definition. Can someone provide context and 
give an example of how it would be used?  When the definition refers to 
"network", is this the AC Mains network? And why is the Point of Coupling a 
significant point of concern?
Thanks.

Subject: [PSES] RES: [PSES] Internal point of coupling

Hello John,

The definition is in IEC 61000-2-4.

IEC 61800-3, which is the EMC standard for PDS, states that the IPC is defined 
in IEC 61000-2-4 as "In-Plant Point of Coupling".

>From IEC 61000-2-4, item 3.1.7:
IPC - "point on a network inside a system or an installation, electrically 
nearest to a particular load, at which other loads are, or could be, connected.
             Note: The IPC is usually the point for which electromagnetic 
compatibility is to be considered"

Assunto: [PSES] Internal point of coupling

I am looking for a definition (preferably formal) of 'Internal point of 
coupling' for a proposed IEC Technical Report. It is not in Electropedia and is 
mentioned (as IPC) In IEC 61000-2-6 without definition. I am told that it might 
be defined in one of the IEC 61800 series standards, but there are several of 
them.
