EMC COMPLIANCE KNOW-HOW on Surge test
The most frequent cause of damage in industrial electronic systems is over-Voltages, caused either by switching actions in the equipment itself or by atmospheric discharges such as lightning. IEC 61000-4-5 describes several tests which are intended to evaluate immunity from several natural phenomena and various equipment configurations. This paper will be focussing on calibrating surge waveforms for single-phase AC/DC power lines.
To provide you with a comprehensive understanding of the verification of this crucial test, Ametek prepared a detailed technical note. By downloading it, you’ll gain valuable insights into the test requirements and the test setup needed to execute it effectively.

Sidenote: This paper will not discuss symmetrical communication lines that are intended to be directly connected to outdoor telecommunication networks (e.g. public switched telecommunications networks (PSTN) that typically have cable lengths in excess of 300 m or even many kilometers.
Did you know? :
- The test is just as good as the entire test-setup.
- The generator is mere a part of the test-setup.
- Accelonix provides full-compliant test-setups for transient immunity testing.
