The EMC Shop specializes in international test standards for commercial electronics. Rent, buy or lease test equipment for CE, UL or other compliant mark on your product. Even though there are thousands of standards for the variety of applications and industries, many EMC, EMI and RF tests refer back to the IEC/EN international compliance standards.
Meet harmonics and flicker test standards IEC 61000-3-3 using the same power source. "Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) - Part 3-2 Limits for harmonic current emissions (equipment input current ≤ 16 A per phase)"
Harmonics & Flicker Classification:
Equipment can be grouped into one of 4 classes based on the following criteria as evaluated by the IEC committee members:
Number of pieces of equipment in use (how many (volume) are being used by consumers)
Duration of use (number of hours in operation)
Simultaneity of use (are the same type of equipment used on the same time frame)
Power consumption
Harmonics spectrum, including phase (how clean or distorted is the current drawn by the equipment)
After all the above criteria are taken into consideration equipment are classified as follows:
Class A
Balanced three-phase equipment
Household appliances, excluding equipment identified by Class D

Dimmers for incandescent lamps
Audio equipment
Everything else that is not classified as B, C or D

IEC/EN 61000-4-6 Overview
IEC/EN 61000-4-6 is the normative reference standard to test electronic products immunity to RF conducted injected interference. RF conducted interference is phenomena as simple as placing a wireless device on or near power cables or data lines that can couple wireless through the shielding of those lines and affect associated equipment. More complex situations include cable bundles in a car chassis that may cause the RF conducted affect and impact other lines, and travel to the electronics. RF conducted immunity test equipment will generate more than anticipated RF fields we would expect in the real world. Engineers exercise their equipment across the frequency band, typically 150 kHz to 80 or 230 MHz, to gauge how their product responds to the interference.

EN/IEC 61000-4-31 Conducted Immunity Test Equipment
Radiated Immunity—TEM cell method. IEC 62132-2 defines a method of measuring an IC's immunity to radiated emissions. To test an IC using this method, you mount the DUT on the test board and install it in a mating port cut in the top or bottom of a TEM cell or GTEM cell. You must test the DUT in at least two orientations to ensure complete exposure to the generated electric field.
Conducted Immunity—Bulk Current Injection (BCI) method. IEC 62132-3 defines a method of evaluating immunity of the DUT to electromagnetic fields coupled to cables or cable bundles connected to the package pins. You can use this method to evaluate the immunity of IC pins connected to cables and also to evaluate other pins as well. The test signal is inductively coupled to the pin or pins under test using a current probe. Since you must connect the pins of the DUT to a cable or wire to inject the test signal, you can use a DUT application board or an IC EMC test board to perform this test.
Conducted Immunity—Direct RF Power Injection (DPI) method. IEC 62132-4 also defines a method of evaluating immunity of the DUT to electromagnetic fields coupled to cables or cable bundles connected to the package pins. When using this method, however, you directly inject the test signal using capacitive coupling to inject the signal on the cable or wire. The DUT can be mounted on either an IC EMC test board or an application board.
Conducted Immunity—Workbench Faraday Cage (WBFC) method. IEC 62132-5 defines a method for evaluating the immunity of an IC to signals injected at defined common-mode points. The DUT can be mounted on either an IC EMC test board or an application board, provided the board fits in the cage. With all input, output, and power connections to the test board filtered and connected to common-mode chokes, you must inject the conducted noise at PCB locations specified by the standard.
DPI (Direct Power Injection) (62132-4) widely used technique, especially in automotive applications.
The DPI test method is popular sice the DPI testing is very simple and straightforward to perform, and DPI testing can be easily simulated by chip designers using their standard design tools.
