EN 61000-4-16 Testing – Immunity to Conducted
The EN 61000-4-16 test standard relates to the immunity requirements and test methods for electrical and electronic equipment to conducted, common mode disturbances in the range d.c. to 150 kHz.
The scope of EN 61000-4-16 testing is to establish a common and reproducible basis for testing electrical and electronic equipment with the application of common-mode disturbances to power supply, control, signal, and communication ports.
EN 61000-4-16 testing defines:
- test voltage and current waveform
- range of test levels
- test equipment
- test set-up
- test procedures
EN-61000-4-16 testing is intended to demonstrate the immunity of electrical and electronic equipment. However, only when subjected to conducted, common-mode disturbances. This includes those originating from power line currents and return leakage currents in the earthing/grounding system. The disturbances are typically generated by:
- the power distribution system, with its fundamental frequency, significant harmonics, and interharmonics;
- power electronic equipment which may inject disturbances into the ground conductors and earthing system, or generate disturbances in signal and control lines by induction.
EN 61000-4-16 defines the test procedures for both the categories of disturbance defined above.
