The basic specifications (both '103-1 and '103-2) put equipment into 5 environment categories according to their use (E1 thru E5) E1 residential E2 Commercial and light industrial E3 Urban outdoors E4 Controlled emc enviroment E5 heavy industrial The emissions spec '103-1 basically calls up compliance (if its applicable to the useage) to 10 phenomena radiated e field emissions 55022 or (55013 if its applicable) Radiated h field emissions 2 limits conducted harmonics and flicker 61000-3-2/3 Conducted emissions 55022 55014 continuous and discontinuous (clicks) inrush current of ac supply antenna terminals of broadcast receivers 55013 conducted emissions signal and control lines 55022 Immunity 103-2 has the same equipment limits but calls up different stress levels depending on the used environment (basically uses the 61000 class of immunity tests) radiated immunity 80-1000MHz 3/10v/m 80%am 61000-4-3 esd 4/8kv 61000-4-2 magnetic immunity fast transients signal and control ports 61000-4-4 audio interference signal and control ports fast transients i/p and o/p dc ports and ac ports and functional earth port conducted immunity i/p o/p dc ports and ac ports and functional earth ports 3/10v rms 80% am ac voltage dips / interruptions / surges (common and differential mode) criteria's of pass/fail are detailed in '103-2 this is only a very brief resume i will be using the spec from here on in and this is only my interpretation of it. if you need to know more email me direct email: [email protected] Paul Smith EMC Engineer Strand Lighting Scotland
