Replaces EMC Directive 2004/108/EU

Has to be implemented into national legislation until 19.04.2016 –

new Conformity Declarations referring to obsolete references INVALID

Basic requirements remain unchanged, but : - Stricter requirements about documentation and available information

- Stricter requirements about marking and verification

- Special provisions for stationery systems

NEW: Besides manufacturer and importer, retailer have also responsibilities

Clause 42 defines now penalties for violations of the Directive; the penalties shall

be effective, proportionate and dissuasive.

> Definition - Harmonics

IEC 61000-3-2

Harmonics are sinusoidal voltages or currents having frequencies that are whole multiples of the frequency at which the supply system is designed to operate (e.g. 50Hz or 60 Hz).

A 250 Hz sine-wave signal, superposed onto the fundamental mains frequency, will be designate as the 5th harmonic or as the harmonic of 5th order (5 x 50 Hz).

In a linear system (e.g. a circuit, with ideal resistors, capacitors and/or inductors), the characteristics of the voltage and the current are manifested by a sinusoidal progress. The current contain only one frequency, the mains frequency or the so called fundamental. Beside this 50 Hz component there are no other frequencies and therefore there are no harmonic components.

The Fourier transformation converts a time function into a frequency function.

Any periodic or non periodic waveform can be resolved into truly sinusoidal

components (the fundamental frequency and the associated harmonics higher

order thereof).

Harmonics emissions are generated by devices which do not have a linear

current / voltage characteristic.

Harmonics are a "by-product" of modern electronics.

Devices equipped with electronics have one thing in common:

They draw currents that deviate from the ideal sinusoidal shape.

When connecting reactive loads and cable capacitances, resonances and other

disturbances can occur as a direct consequence of the harmonics in the supply

network. These can also be observed far away from the problem source.

Distortion of main supply voltage, unwanted currents flowing in the supply

network generate additional energy losses,

Defective operation of regulating devices, disturbed discharge lamps, TVs or

other equipment's,

Malfunction of ripple control and other mains signaling systems, protective relays

and, possibly, other means of control,

Additional losses in capacitors and rotating machines,

Additional acoustic noise from motors and other apparatus, reducing the

efficiency on special motors,

Telephone interference,

High amplitudes of harmonics may not only cause malfunctions, additional

losses and overheating, but also overload the network and as consequence

thermal effects, on special the neutral conductor as consequence of the

summation of all harmonics is subject to burn out.

Power electronics is indispensable, but "annoying"; This interference emission must be limited.

Devices and systems must comply to EMC rules, ie. they must neither disturb others nor lose their functionality under interfering influences.

International standards are a practicable compromise in order to establish reference levels for the coordination of emission and immunity in the interests of electromagnetic compatibility.

A low power factor only strains the network and the supply lines and resultsin a low share of useful energy.

In the event of a load change, it may happen that a EUT temporarily needs more peak current. A source with a sufficiently rated crest factor ensures that no saturation occurs during such operations. Saturation phenomena at the source used, lead to incorrect measurements and are not permitted according to the standard!

Simplified test method

Requirements for a simplified test

Previously tested products, which subsequently undergo minor changes or updates.

Goal: avoid unnecessary testing costs, especially for the fast moving IT market

Check during the previous standard test:

- Current emission : < 60% of each harmonic current limit

- THD of current: < 15%

- Documentation oft the EUT active input power

Simplified test method for modified equipment:

- Input power : within ± 20%, of the originally tested product.

- THD of current < 15%

Products that fulfil these requirements are deemed to comply with the applicable limits, but in

case of doubt the result of a full compliance test takes precedence over this simplified method..

Annex C (normative) – Type test conditionsC.7 Vacuum cleaners

[…]

Vacuum cleaners with electronic control shall be tested in three modes of operation, each for

an identical time interval that is at least 2 min long, with the control adjusted:

to maximum input power,

to 50 % ± 5 % of the maximum active input power, or, if that is not possible (e.g. controlled

in steps), to the point closest to 50 % that is supported by the equipment design,

and to minimum input power.

These three time intervals need not be consecutive, but the application of limits according to

6.2.3.4 is done as if the intervals were consecutive. In that case, the entire test observation

period is made up of the three identical time intervals, without taking into account harmonic

current values outside these three intervals..

> Phenomenon & Definition

IEC 61000-3-3

Voltage fluctuations caused by varying load currents may also influence luminance or

spectral distribution of lightning systems.

The impression of unsteadies of visual sensation induced by this light stimulus is called flicker.

Whereby the limits on the voltage fluctuations are based on the equivalent levels of light flicker

in a 60 W incandescent bulb which is perceived as disturbing.

Main purpose is to limit the variations in voltage caused by equipment

connected to the power supply network !

Variation in load current will result in varying voltage across the net impedance !

A 2% variation in RMS voltage will result in a 4% fluctuation of light luminance of a normal incandescent bulb. This is recognized by naked eye and depending on repetition rate, it can be a very disturbing effect.

Flicker is fundamentally a physiological phenomenon and is modeled to account for

the overall response characteristics of the lamp-eye-brain system. Flicker is more

tolerable if it occurs infrequently over short intervals. Tolerance decreases in the

presence of increasing level intensity, event frequency, or event duration.

Manual switching :

For voltage changes caused by manual switching, equipment is deemed to comply

without further testing if the maximum r.m.s. input current (including inrush

current) evaluated over each 10 ms half-period between zero-crossings does not

exceed 20 A, and the supply current after inrush is within a variation band of 1,5 A.

Conditional connection :

Equipment which does not comply with the limits of IEC 61000-3-3 when tested

with the reference impedance Zref (clause 6.4), and which therefore cannot be

declared compliant with this part, may be retested or evaluated to show conformity

with IEC 61000-3-11. Part 3-11 is applicable to equipment with rated input current

≤ 75 A per phase and subject to conditional connection.

- switch on the EUT (to create a voltage change),

- let the EUT operate as long as possible under normal operating conditions during a measuring time interval of one minute,

- switch off the EUT before the end of the 1 minute interval and make sure that all moving parts inside the EUT come to standstill before the next measuring interval is started,

- start the next measurement.

Outlook

-3-2 Ed.5.0 is being developed in multiple fragments

Current status are mostly CDVs (f1, f3, f4)

Reviewed definitions lighting equipment & dimmers

New to Class A:

- independent phase control dimmers

- professional luminaires for stage lighting and studios

Clause 7 : Harmonic current limits new exception

- lighting equipment with a rated power less than but not equal to 5 W;

- independent phase control dimmers still being debated (fragment 1)

- power-dependent limits for dimmers >25 W are being debated

- NEW: change from “active input power” to “rated power” criteria for >25W / ≤25W

Revised Annex C.2 Test conditions for television receivers

Revised Annex C.5 Test conditions for lighting equipment

Revised Annex C.11 Test conditions for induction hobs (auto cooking zone)

Outlook

IEC 61000-3-3 Ed.3 Amend. 1 is currently in CDV

Changes to Annex A.2 Test conditions for lighting 1 and similar equipment

Request to increase the exception level for LED luminaries from currently

200 W up to 600 W (like for other lamp luminaries)

- Study has shown that modern LEDs are not more (or even less) sensitive to Flicker

than discharge lamps
