ENV 50141:1993

Electromagnetic compatibility - Basic immunity standard - Conducted disturbances induced by radio-frequency fields - Immunity test ENV 50141:1993

Scope

This standard relates to the immunity requirements of equipment to the electromagnetic field coming from intentional RF-transmitters. The equipment, having at least one metallic interface, is coupled to disturbing radio-frequency (RF) fields via the cables connected thereto engn power mains, signal lines, earth connections. The object of the test method in this standard is to determine the immunity of electrical and electronic equipment to conducted RF-disturbances in the frequency range 9 kHz up to 80 MHz, this being a good indication of its immunity to radiated RF-fields. Note: Test methods are defined in this section for measuring the effect that conducted disturbIng signals, induced by electromagnetic radiation, has on the equipment concerned. The simulation and measurement of these conducted disturbances is not adequately exact for the quantitative determination of effects. The test methods defined are structured for the primary objective of establishing adequate repeatability of results at various facilities for qualitative analysis of effects. This standard defines: - recommended test levels; - test equipment; - test set-up; - test procedure.
