61000-4-11 Inrush current

2008-05-20 Thread Bob Richards
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

Hi Bob: I have a copy of IEC61000-4-11:1994. Take another look at clause 6.1.1. It says the peak inrush current drive capability '... need not exceed 500A for 220V-240V mains, or 250A for 100V-120V mains.' For a minimum capability, look at clause 6.2.2. It says that 'the measured EUT

Pat, I'm looking at edition 2, dated 2004-03, and it appears the wording has not changed. You are correct about the inrush requirement. It does not have to be more than 500A for the voltages mentioned, but it also does not have to be more than the margin required above the actual EUT inrush

As far as I know, building and fire codes can differ significantly from country to country. Everything from climate to seismic activity can have an effect on the building code. The electrical codes also vary, but there is a document you can reference. IEC 60364 is used as the basis for many
