EN 301-489-17 ElectroMagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Standard for Radio Equipment and Services; Part 17: Specific Conditions for Broadband Data Transmission Systems
The EN 301-489-17 EMC test standard defines test methods for immunity to ripple at the d.c. input power port of electronic and electrical equipment. EN 301-489-17 compliance testing is applicable to certain low-voltage d.c. power ports of equipment. This specific equipment is supplied by external rectifier systems, or batteries which are being charged.
The object of EN-301-489-17 testing is to establish a reproducible but common basis for testing, in a
laboratory, electronic and electrical equipment that is subjected to ripple voltages. These voltages are similar to those generated by rectifier systems and/or auxiliary service battery chargers overlaying on d.c. power supply sources.
The EN 301-489-17 EMC test standard defines several criteria. These include but are not limited to:
- The test voltage waveform.
- The range of test levels.
- The test setup.
- The test generator.
- The test procedure.
The test described in the EMC test procedure applies to electrical or electronic systems and equipment. It also applies to modules or subsystems whenever the equipment under test (EUT) rated power is greater than the test generator capacity specified in the compliance testing document.
This test does not apply to equipment connected to battery charger systems that incorporate switch mode converters. EN 301-489-17 lab testing does not specify the tests to be applied to particular apparatus or systems. The primary objective is to give a general basic reference to IEC product committees.
These product committees or users or manufacturers of equipment are responsible for the appropriate choice of the test. They are also responsible for the severity level to be applied to their equipment. Dedicated test procedures are in use for testing specific categories of electrical or electronic equipment. Examples of this include equipment connected to d.c. supply network of telephone switching centers.
