Overview

EN 61000-4-28:2000/A2:2009 is a CLC-adopted amendment to the IEC publication dealing with electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). It specifies a variation of power frequency immunity test for electrical and electronic equipment whose input current does not exceed 16 A per phase. The amendment updates the standard title and refines test generator verification requirements, ensuring consistent, reproducible immunity testing for low‑power mains-connected equipment.

Key topics and requirements

  • Scope: Immunity testing against variations in the power (mains) frequency for equipment with input current ≤ 16 A per phase.
  • Test generator verification (subclause 6.2): The amendment replaces the prior verification text and provides a mandatory verification procedure for test generators used in these immunity tests.
    • Performance must be verified with a resistive load drawing an RMS current no greater than the generator’s rated output (example: a 230 V / 16 A generator verified with a 14.3 Ω load).
    • The generator must be able to supply an output current with a crest factor of at least 3 when applied to a single-phase load.
    • Each output phase of the generator must be verified in turn.
  • Example verification load components (from Figure 4 in the amendment):
    • Test generator (G)
    • Bridge rectifier (B)
    • Electrolytic capacitor 11 000 µF ±20%
    • Fixed resistors (example: 61 Ω ±1% and an additional resistor R_a selected so that total series resistance equals approx. 92 mΩ ±10% including wiring and diode resistances)
  • Documentation & compliance: The amendment was approved by CENELEC and implemented as a national standard across member bodies; it aligns with IEC 61000-4-28:1999/A2:2009.

Applications

  • Compliance and EMC laboratories conducting power-frequency variation immunity tests.
  • Manufacturers and design engineers of mains-powered equipment (appliances, consumer electronics, industrial controls) with input currents up to 16 A per phase preparing products for European market compliance.
  • Certification bodies and test houses validating test generator performance and performing repeatable immunity assessments.
  • EMC consultants specifying test setups, load configurations, and generator capabilities for low‑power equipment qualification.

Related standards

  • IEC/EN 61000 series (basic EMC publications) - EN 61000-4-28 is part of the IEC 61000 family addressing immunity and testing techniques.
  • National adoptions and translations of EN 61000-4-28:2000/A2:2009 (e.g., SIST EN 61000-4-28:2000/A2:2009).

Keywords: EN 61000-4-28, EMC, power frequency variation, immunity test, 16 A per phase, test generator verification, crest factor, electromagnetic compatibility testing.
