They are complementary.

>What is the difference between the two?

Section 11 deals with disturbances of three types of voltage/time
characteristic. Section 14 deals with disturbances of a fourth type.

Of course, unless the relevant EMC product standard calls up section 11
or 14, you do not need to consider them.

Is there an immunity spec complement to the EN61000-3-3 flicker emissions spec?

2002-01-30 Thread Patrick Lawler

In a recent posting, someone commented on the possiblity of 'flicker' emissions
(controlled by EN61000-3-3) causing a disturbance in 'victim' equipment.

Would EN61000-4-11 (Voltage dips, short interruptions and voltage variations) be
an immunity spec complement to EN61000-3-3? Or is EN61000-4-14 (Voltage
fluctuations) more appropriate?
What is the difference between the two?
