Jim If you read the info on the -3-4 document, it is a technical report (the committee could not get sufficient agreement to publish it as a standard) and is provided only for information. Work is in progress on a standard which is to have a different number when it is published.
John Mowbray NCR Canada -----Original Message----- From: Jim Eichner [mailto:jim.eich...@xantrex.com] Sent: Tuesday, October 15, 2002 4:16 PM To: 'EMC-PSTC - forum' Subject: Harmonics - IEC/EN 61000-3-4 for equipment >16A I have not been able to find any info on an EN version of the above, but there is a published IEC version. The Europa site does not list -3-4 as having been published in the OJ for the EMC directive. The IEC site contains the scope of the standard, including the following: "These recommendations specify the information required to enable a supply authority to assess equipment regarding harmonic disturbance and to decide wether or not the equipment is acceptable for connection with regard to the harmonic distortion aspect. This document is not to be regarded as an International Standard." Questions: 1. This quote leaves me a bit puzzled. Does this standard contain test methods and pass/fail criteria, or is it somewhat less concrete than that? 2. Is anyone aware of a published or draft EN version? 3. Is there an upper limit to the current (e.g. EN61000-3-11 goes from 16A to 75A)? Thanks, Jim Eichner, P.Eng.
