The latest standards are available from a variety of sources, but they originate at the International Electrotechnical Commission’s website at www.iec.ch.

The Official Journal of the European Union (sometimes called the ‘OJ’ ) is where standards must be listed before being implemented by directives. Check the status of the EMC standards directly at this OJEC link.

While many vendors claim to make accurate measurements, this may not always be the case. For accurate harmonics and flicker measurements, calibration and traceability are required. The National Physical Laboratory provides independent calibration service

THE STANDARDS

If you design or test electrical or electronics products that connect to the ac line, you must meet certain measurement standards to sell those products in most countries around the world. These standards limit the amount of disturbance that the product can cause to the ac supply.Thousands of design and test engineers trust Voltech power analyzers for Harmonics and Flicker testing to the IEC61000-3-2 and IEC61000-3-3 standards. Our power analyzer range is ideal for testing to the IEC61000-4-7 and IEC61000-4-15 because the easy to use IEC software provides design engineers and EMC test laboratories with a comprehensive suite of measurements and reports that comply with the latest standards. Our power analyzer range provides all the important measurements such as Watts, power factor, current harmonics, voltage harmonics, THC (total harmonic content), flicker Pst and flicker Plt.
