Surge Immunity Test

This Standard relates to the immunity requirements, test methods, and range of recommended test levels for equipment to unidirectional surges caused by overvoltage from switching and lightning transients. Several test levels are defined which relate to different environment and installation conditions. The object of this standard is to establish a common reference for evaluating the immunity of electrical and electronic equipment when subjected to surges. The test method documented in this part of IEC 61000 describes a consistent method to assess the immunity of an equipment or system against a defined phenomenon.

The IEC/EN 61000-4-5 standard is about immunity testing of Electrical and Electronics equipments against surges. This standard is part of the Basic EMC Publications. IEC 61000-4-5 defines immunity requirements, test setups, test procedures, test equipment (and their calibration and verification) and ranges of test levels related to unidirectional surges caused by over-voltages from switching and lightning transients. Direct injections of lightning currents, i.e. direct lightning strikes, are not considered in this standard. The object of IEC 61000-4-5 is to establish a common reference for evaluating the immunity of electrical and electronic equipment when subjected to surges.
