The omission has been noted in UK, but not drawn to the attention of IEC, AFAIK. IIRC, there seems to be no particular reason why the scope of this standard is limited to 16 A per phase and below. Most of the text seems to be applicable only to *single-phase or interphase* equipment, though. Clause 7 and clause 8.2.1 differ in their statements about simultaneous and differential disturbances on 3-phase supplies. >And more: can a product standard prescribe such test for >equipment with more than 16 amps per phase and still refer to 61000-4-11 >as basic standard? Well, sort of. It could say, 'The test methods specified in IEC 61000-4-11 shall be applied.' But the product standard would have to say something about the specification of the test equipment to be used, because clause 6 doesn't apply. Annex C appears independent of the current. -- Regards, John Woodgate, OOO - Own Opinions Only. http://www.jmwa.demon.co.uk Interested in professional sound reinforcement and distribution?
