Ametek, a trusted leader in the field, is pleased to introduce Technical Note 0120, focusing on the recent updates in the fifth edition of the international standard IEC 61000-4-6:2023.
This technical note delves into the crucial and significant modifications in the latest iteration of the standard, which outlines testing procedures to safeguard electrical equipment against potential disruptions induced by conducted disturbances originating from nearby radiofrequency fields. These disturbances, often provoked when cables or leads act as inadvertent antennas, are critical considerations in electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing.
Within the document, Ametek navigates through critical changes in the standard and explores their implications on EMC test equipment. Some of the significant technical changes include:
- The selection of injection devices was revised.
- Level-setting only with a feedback loop.
- Saturation check revised.
- Decoupling specifications updated.
- AE impedance checks for clamp injection were removed, and Annex H was deleted.
- New Annex H on testing with multiple signals.
