Abstract

Adopts IEC 61000-6-5, Ed. 1.0 (2015), which specifies EMC immunity requirements which apply to electrical and electronic equipment intended for use in power stations and substations.

Scope

This part of IEC 61000 specifies EMC immunity requirements which apply to electrical and electronic equipment intended for use in power stations and substations, as described below.
Immunity requirements for electromagnetic phenomena with spectral contributions in the frequency range 0 Hz to 400 GHz are covered. No tests need to be performed at frequencies or for phenomena where no requirements are specified.
This international standard sets immunity test requirements for equipment intended for use in the generation, transmission and distribution of electricity and related telecommunication systems. The electromagnetic environments encompassed by this standard are those which exist at locations
- in power stations, and
- in high and medium voltage substations.
Installations to generate or convert into electrical power inside industrial facilities are also covered by this standard as long as they, at their primary electrical connection, cannot be directly connected to the LV power network, e.g. where the generator output voltage is medium voltage or higher. Power installations that directly provide power into the low voltage network (such as photovoltaic cells or combined heat power systems in private houses) are not covered by this standard.
NOTE 1 In general, power stations comprise installations which are mainly built to convert some kind of primary energy into electrical energy. Moreover, these power stations are connected to the medium or high voltage power system directly or via a step-up transformer.
