1 Scope
This part of IEC 61000 deals with the limitation of harmonic currents injected into the public supply system.
The limits given in this International Standard are applicable to electrical and electronic
equipment with a rated input current exceeding 16 A and up to and including 75 A per
phase, intended to be connected to public low-voltage a.c. distribution systems of
the following types:
• nominal voltage up to 240 V, single-phase, two or three wires;
• nominal voltage up to 690 V, three-phase, three or four wires;
• nominal frequency 50 Hz or 60 Hz.
Other distribution systems are excluded. The limits given in this edition apply to
equipment when connected to 230/400 V, 50 Hz systems. See also Clause 5.
NOTE 1 The limits for the other systems will be added in a future edition of this standard.
NOTE 2 Equipment with a rated input current exceeding 75 A per phase should be considered
in the harmonic current requirements for installations. See IEC /TR 61000-3-6 and
future IEC/TR 61000-3-14.
This standard applies to equipment intended to be connected to low-voltage systems
interfacing with the public supply at the low-voltage level. It does ...
