IEC 61000-4-12 Testing – Ring Wave Testing

The IEC 61000-4-12 test standard is harmonized with the EN 61000-4-12 test standard and relates to the immunity requirements and test methods for electrical and electronic equipment, under operational conditions, to non-repetitive damped oscillatory transients (ring wave test) occurring in low-voltage power, control and signal lines supplied by public and non-public networks. The scope of IEC 61000-4-12 testing is to establish the immunity requirements and a common reference for evaluating in a laboratory the performance of electrical and electronic equipment intended for residential, commercial and industrial applications, as well as of equipment intended for power stations and substations, as applicable.

Keystone Compliance has the knowledge, experience and equipment to streamline IEC-61000-4-12 compliance testing. With five EMC test chambers, including three -three-meter chambers, meeting tight scheduling requirements is rarely a challenge. What makes us the premier EN 61000-4-12 test lab that we are is our engineering assistance. When obstacles arise during a test program, our engineers get involved to determine the source of the failure and potential corrections. This consultative approach is why so many manufacturers choose Keystone Compliance as their IEC 61000-4-12 test lab.

The specific sections of the IEC 61000 4 12 test standard defines:

• test voltage and current waveforms
• ranges of test levels
• test equipment
• test set-up
• test procedure

EN 61000 4 12 also details the description of the phenomenon, relevant parameters, repetition rate and phase angle.
