Standard Overview
IEC 61000-4-19 tests are intended to demonstrate the immunity of electrical and electronic equipment operating at a mains supply voltage up to 280 V (from phase to neutral or phase to earth if no neutral is used) and a frequency of 50 Hz or 60 Hz when subjected to conducted, differential mode disturbances such as those originating from power electronics.
IEC 61000-4-19 mentions the following disturbances, sources, and victims
Disturbances sources:
-
Inverters (e.g. elevator drives, ski lift drives, PV installations)
-
Smart meters with PLC data transmission
-
Switched-mode power supplies (e.g. in compact lamps, computers, TVs)
-
UPS
-
Variable speed drives (e.g. heat pumps)
-
DVD players
Victims - with degraded performance or malfunction
-
Smart meters with PLC data transmission, solid-state meters;
-
Touch-dimmer lamps (TDL)
-
Communication systems (e.g. Ethernet-system, routers)
-
Contactless card readers, credit card terminals
-
Alarm systems
-
Electronic controls (e.g. heating systems, street lighting)
- Household appliances (e.g. coffee machines, ceramic hobs, washing machines)
IEC 61000 Test Equipment for Section 4-19
IEC 61000 test equipment for section 4-19 consists of generators, current transformers and CDNs, depending on whether you are performing a voltage or current test. The following diagrams represent the test setups for each type of test.Voltage Test
