Re: [PSES] EN 55035 / CISPR 35

2016-05-23 Thread Schaefer, David
It can be argued that AM would be as good as Pulse for finding susceptibility, 
but when using -4-3 methods you’re talking about nearly double the peak level – 
30 V/m versus 54 V/m.  That means a hell of a lot of amplifier power, 
especially if you want to do a 4 point uniform field. I think pulse makes much 
more sense. It is much closer to the actual threats out there, and other 
standards are already using it. IEC 60601-1-2:2014 has it in Table 9. ISO 13766 
and UN ECE R10.05 also have it for 800-2000 MHz susceptibility.  Annex A of 
-4-3 addresses the use of other modulations, but to me it reads like they 
decided AM was the best, then wrote the annex to support that conclusion.

Rob – whichever modulation they choose is going to require retesting. AM or 
Pulse, no one was previously doing spot checks at the freq. required in CISPR 
35.

Thanks,

David

There was a huge argument when the GHz tests were first introduced over whether

sine modulation are not large enough to matter, at least in some opinions.

Hi David,

I would have thought they would keep it at the 80% 1kHz AM modulation, so 
potentially 30V/m CW calibration, then apply the modulation on the test run, to 
give 54V/m peaks?

But as you said, pulse might make more sense as it replicates mobile phone/wifi 
devices better maybe.

This would open up a lot of re-testing on products that comply with the current 
standards.

There’s a separate question on CISPR 35 I would like answered – are they going 
to use pulse modulation for the spot frequencies?  As Rob mentioned, the 
requirement could be up to 30 V/m. If you’re intended to use the normal AM 
modulation of IEC 61000-4-3, that’s up to 54 V/m during your calibration. Pulse 
modulation makes more sense, but it isn’t in the draft.

Hi John,

So EN 55035 (CISPR 35) may not filter through to the OJ Harmonised list until 
end of 2019?

Up until that point, it will be a combination of EN 55032 and either EN 55024,

It is most unlikely that 55035 will be brought into mandatory effect without at 
least 3 years transition. It appears that the CISPR FDIS is forecast for 
October 2016, and CENELEC will for sure need time to process it into an EN.

Hi,

I’m trying to plan ahead for the new EMC Standards coming in next year, in 
particular EN 55032 and EN 55035.

With EN 55035 still in draft form, are we likely to see that become compulsory 
the same time EN 55032 does? (ie 5th March 2017?)

In addition, do we know what the Radiated Immunity test changes are likely to 
be on the final version of the draft? I’ve seen that there is a new requirement 
for spot frequencies at 1.8GHz, 2.6GHz, 3.5GHz and 5GHz @ 3V/m. However, I have 
also seen talk of a ‘Protection Distance’ which could increase this 3V/m up to 
30V/m.

Best regards,

Rob.

IEC 60601-1-2:2014 Annex A has some additional guide:

  Subclause 5.2.2.1 a), Compliance for each EMISSIONS and IMMUNITY
  standard

  This requirement replaces in part the requirements specified in
  Edition 3 to include tables of compliance levels and EMC guidance in
  the ACCOMPANYING DOCUMENTS. While a MANUFACTURER can choose to put
  the information in such a format, this collateral standard does not
  mandate the format for this information. ...

[PSES] Earth Line Choke in EMI inlet filter design

2016-05-23 Thread Amund Westin
Looking into the field of custom EMI inlet filter design, I see that some 
filter manufacturers make use of an Earth Line Choke.

Is this Earth Line choke typically a ferrite bead or an inductor, or …. ? 
Assume this Earth Line Choke is for reducing CM currents and even in series 
with PE-wire, it’s still within 60950-1.

 

 

Regards

Amund

"For all ME EQUIPMENT and ME SYSTEMS, the technical description shall include 
the following information:
a) the compliance for each EMISSIONS and IMMUNITY standard or test specified by

b) any deviations from this collateral standard and allowances used;
c) * all necessary instructions for maintaining BASIC SAFETY and ESSENTIAL

In IEC 60601-1-2: 2007, the above information was provided in the Guidance and

I did not find any similar tables in IEC 60601-1-2: 2014 .
Any ideas on how to instruct clients to comply with Clause 5.2.2.1 a, b, c?
