This amendment A2 modifies the European Standard EN 50160:2010; it was approved by CENELEC on 2019-03-25. CENELEC members
are bound to comply with the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations which stipulate the conditions for giving this amendment the status of a
national standard without any alteration.
Up-to-date lists and bibliographical references concerning such national standards may be obtained on application to the CEN-CENELEC
Management Centre or to any CENELEC member.
This amendment exists in three official versions (English, French, German). A version in any other language made by translation under the
responsibility of a CENELEC member into its own language and notified to the CEN-CENELEC Management Centre has the same status as
the official versions.
CENELEC members are the national electrotechnical committees of Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, the Czech Republic,
Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the
Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Republic of North Macedonia, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland,

European foreword
This document (EN 50160:2010/A2:2019) has been prepared by CLC/TC 8X "System aspects of electri-
cal energy supply".
The following dates are fixed:
• latest date by which this document has (dop) 2020-03-20
to be implemented at national level by
publication of an identical national
standard or by endorsement
• latest date by which the national stand- (dow) 2022-09-20
ards conflicting with this document have
to be withdrawn
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CENELEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
The purpose of this document is to provide further development of the standard; that relating to:
• clarification concerning defined ranges of power frequency, for the purpose of this standard only;
• a first approach to include power quality issues concerning the frequency range 2 – 150 kHz.
1 Modification to Clause 2
Modify the reference to EN 61000-4-30:2009 to:
EN 61000-4-30:2015 Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) – Part 4-30: Testing and measurement tech-
niques – Power quality measurement methods (IEC 61000-4-30:2015)
2 Modification to Clause 3
Add the following definitions and renumber the subsequent definitions:
3.10
mains communicating system (MCS)
electrical system using signals to transmit information on electricity supply systems, either on the public
electricity distribution network or within installations of network users

3.18
power quality
characteristics of the electricity at a given point on an electrical system, evaluated against a set of refer-
ence technical parameters
Note 1 to entry: These parameters might, in some cases, relate to the compatibility between electricity supplied on a
network and the loads connected to that network.
3 Modification to 4.1
Add a third bullet point after the first paragraph:
– other phenomena, i.e. phenomena occurring in the presence of mains communicating systems
(MCS) and/or equipment using switch-mode technology connected to the grid.
4 Modification to 4.2.1
Renumber the current NOTE as NOTE 2 and start with a new NOTE 1, which reads:
NOTE 1 This standard defines the frequency range for normal network conditions. During exceptional conditions
wider frequency tolerances can apply temporarily in order to maintain the continuity of electricity supply.
5 Modification to 4.2.7
Delete 4.2.7 "Mains signaling voltage" and move it, with some modification, to a new subclause 4.4
"Mains communication voltage" (see Clause 6).
6 Addition of a new subclause 4.4
After 4.3.3 Transient overvoltages, add the following new subclause 4.4.
NOTE 1 The tables will need to be renumbered throughout the standard as the table in 4.4 is numbered "Table 4".
NOTE 2 With regard to the recent edition of the standard, which, for mains signalling voltages only, deals with the
frequency range 0,1 – 95 kHz, the draft for items 4.4 and 5.4 “Other phenomena” proceeds in considering also the
frequency range 0,1 – 2 kHz.
4.4 Other phenomena (see also Annex C)
4.4.1 General
This subclause deals with phenomena which, due to their characteristics, have not been described in the
previous subclauses.
