KS C 9610-4-4 Testing – Electrical Fast Transient/Burst Immunity

The scope of the KS C 9610-4-4 test standard, previously known as KN 61000-4-4, relates to the immunity of electrical and electronic equipment to repetitive electrical fast transients. KS C 9610-4-4 test labs provide immunity requirements and test procedures related to electrical fast transients/bursts. KS C 9610-4-4 testing additionally defines ranges of test levels and establishes test procedures.

The object of KN 61000-4-4 testing is to establish a common and reproducible reference for evaluating the immunity of electrical and electronic equipment when subjected to electrical fast transient/bursts on supply, signal, control, and earth ports. The test method followed by a KN 61000-4-4 test lab describes a consistent method to assess the immunity of an equipment or system against a defined phenomenon.

KS C 9610-4-4/KN 61000-4-4 defines:

• test voltage waveform
• range of test levels
• test equipment
• verification procedures of test equipment
• test set-up
• test procedure

KS C 9610-4-4 testing gives specifications for laboratory and post-installation tests. The repetitive fast transient test is a test with bursts consisting of several fast transients, coupled into a power supply, control, signal, and earth ports of electrical and electronic equipment. Significant for the test is the high amplitude, the short rise time, the high repetition rate, and the low energy of the transients.

The KS C 9610-4-4 immunity test is intended to demonstrate the immunity of electrical and electronic equipment when subjected to types of transient disturbances such as those originating from switching transients (interruption of inductive loads, relay contact bounce, etc.).

Keystone Compliance has expansive fast transient and burst immunity capabilities, which have allowed it to become one of the preeminent KS C 9610-4-4 test labs in the country.
