What is BS EN 55017 - Methods of measurement of the suppression characteristics of passive EMC filtering devices about?
BS EN 55017 discusses methods of measurement of the suppression characteristics of passive EMC filtering devices. Passive EMC filtering devices are used to ensure that electrical and electronic equipment does not generate, or is not affected by, electromagnetic disturbance. BS EN 55017 specifies methods to measure the radio interference suppression characteristics of passive EMC filtering devices used in power and signal lines, and in other circuits. The defined methods may also be applied to combinations of over-voltage protection devices and EMC filtering devices.
The measurement method covers the frequency range from 9 kHz to several GHz depending on the device and test circuit. BS EN 55017 describes procedures for laboratory tests (type tests) a...
