IEC 61204-3:2016 RLV - Start year: 2016
 Location: Americas - US

Description:

IEC 61204-3:2016 RLV contains both the official IEC International Standard and its Redline version. The Redline version is not an official document, it is available in English only and provides you with a quick and easy way to compare all the changes between the official IEC Standard and its previous edition.

IEC 61204-3:2016 specifies the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) requirements for switch mode power supply (SMPS) units supplied by source voltages up to 1 000 V AC or 1 500 V DC providing AC and/or DC output(s), except inverter output(s) establishing AC mains. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) the title has been changed by deleting the wording "DC output-" from the title and adding "switch mode" in the title;
b) changes in the scope: 1.1.1 Equipment covered by this document;
c) update of the normative references to the latest editions or dated references;
d) change of wording or/and notes regarding the requirements of CENELEC Guide 24 and IEC Guide 107;
e) revision of the emission limits to align with the latest editions of the applicable normative references;
f) revision of the immunity requirements to align with the latest editions of the applicable normative references;
g) correction of typographical errors.

Notes:

his part of IEC 61204 specifies the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) requirements for power supply units (PSUs) providing d.c. output(s) with or without auxiliary a.c. output(s), operating from a.c. or d.c. source voltages up to 600 V a.c. or 1 000 V d.c. switch mode power supply (SMPS) units supplied by source voltages up to 1 000 V AC or 1 500 V DC providing AC and/or DC output(s), except inverter output(s) establishing AC mains (see exceptions under 1.1.3.)

NOTE 1 This document by definition covers DC/DC converters.

NOTE 2 Power supplies can provide accessory AC mains socket outlets, when such outputs are supplied from the AC mains.

NOTE 3 Ringing generators used in telecoms applications are covered by this document.

This product standard covers both stand alone and component power supply (PSU) units as defined in this document. It covers PSU units for use in or with IT equipment normally covered by IEC 60950-1 :20011 and/or IEC 60950-1 :2005 62368-1; PSU units for use in or with measurement, control and laboratory equipment normally covered by IEC 6 1010-1; PSU units for use in or with medical equipment – normally covered by IEC 6 0601-1; PSU units for use in or with audio, video and similar electronic apparatus – normally covered by IEC 6 0065 and/or IEC 6 2368-1 . It also covers DC power and distribution equipment and DC/DC converters.

Where no standard exist, use of this document for other applications is not precluded.
