Ah. Thanks for the clarification. It was most helpful. I struggle with this in North America all the time. We have "Service" circuits which powers "Feeder" circuits which generally (but not always) feed "Branch" panels which powers Electrical Equipment (EE) with internal "Supplementary" over-cu

I'm not a power engineer, and I've had to learn their little ways, so perhaps I can explain. You have a dozen machines in one building. They are all connected to a busbar in that building, and from the busbar a cable runs to the power transformer feeding the whole site. That busbar is an IPC. It'

This thread has tickled my interest. I have never heard of the term IPC used in this way nor do I understand the definition. Can someone provide context and give an example of how it would be used? When the definition refers to "network", is this the AC Mains network? And why is the Point of Co

Hello John, The definition is in IEC 61000-2-4. IEC 61800-3, which is the EMC standard for PDS, states that the IPC is defined in IEC 61000-2-4 as "In-Plant Point of Coupling". >From IEC 61000-2-4, item 3.1.7: IPC - "point on a network inside a system or an installation, electrically nearest t

I am looking for a definition (preferably formal) of 'Internal point of coupling' for a proposed IEC Technical Report. It is not in Electropedia and is mentioned (as IPC) In IEC 61000-2-6 without definition. I am told that it might be defined in one of the IEC 61800 series standards, but there are
