KS C 9610-4-5 EMC Testing – Surge Immunity

The scope of KS C 9610-4-5 testing, previously known as KN 61000-4-5 testing, relates to the immunity requirements, test methods, and range of recommended test levels for equipment to unidirectional surges caused by overvoltages from switching and lightning transients. Several test levels are defined which relate to different environments and installation conditions. These requirements are developed for and apply to electrical and electronic equipment.

The object of a KS C 9610-4-5 test lab is to establish a common reference for evaluating the immunity of electrical and electronic equipment when subjected to surges. The KS C 9610-4-5 test method describes a consistent method to assess the immunity of an equipment or system against a defined phenomenon.

The KS C 9610-4-5/KN 61000 4 5 test standard defines:

  • a range of test levels
  • test equipment
  • test setups
  • test procedures

KN KS C 9610-4-5 surge testing defines the task of the described laboratory test as to find the reaction of the EUT under specified operational conditions, to surge voltages caused by switching and lightning effects at certain threat levels. It is not intended to test the capability of the EUT’s insulation to withstand high-voltage stress. Direct injections of lightning currents, i.e., direct lightning strikes are not considered in KS C 9610-4-5/KN 61000-4-5 compliance testing. KS C 9610-4-5 immunity tests do include specific instructions on power switching transients, lightning transients, and simulation of transients.
