Overview

EN 61000-4-28:2000 (CLC adoption of IEC 61000-4-28) is a basic EMC publication that defines a standardized immunity test for variation of the power frequency. It establishes reference test methods and levels for evaluating the ability of electrical and electronic equipment to withstand conducted power-frequency variations on 50 Hz or 60 Hz networks for equipment with input current not exceeding 16 A per phase. The standard covers conducted phenomena only (public and industrial networks) and excludes 400 Hz systems.

Key Topics and Requirements

  • Scope and applicability
    • Applies to equipment connected to 50/60 Hz distributed networks, rated ≤16 A per phase.
    • Tests intended for products judged potentially sensitive by design, environment or safety impact.
  • Test levels and sequences
    • Defined frequency variations expressed as Δf/f (percentage of nominal).
    • Typical test levels include:
      • Level 2: ±3% with 10 s transitional period
      • Level 3: +4% / −6% with 10 s transitional period (interconnected networks)
      • Level 4: ±15% with 1 s transitional period (non‑interconnected networks)
      • Level X: open (for product committees to define)
    • During transitions the maximum change per cycle ≤ 0.5% of nominal.
  • Test equipment and performance
    • Generator characteristics: output voltage accuracy ±2%, phase accuracy 2°, frequency accuracy 0.3% of nominal, frequency capability f ±20%, test duration accuracy ±10%.
    • Generators must avoid injecting heavy disturbances into the supply; three-phase tests apply frequency variation simultaneously to all phases.
  • Test procedure and environment
    • EUT operated at nominal mains voltage; each representative operating mode tested three times.
    • Laboratory reference climatic conditions per IEC 60068-1 (15–35 °C, 25–75% RH).
  • Results and reporting
    • Performance classified as: normal, temporary self-recoverable degradation, temporary requiring operator action, or non-recoverable damage.
    • Equipment must not become unsafe after testing.

Applications

  • Ensures robustness of control systems, timers, synchronization equipment, power-conversion devices and passive filters against mains frequency drift.
  • Useful for product conformity testing, design validation, safety assessment, and risk analysis where frequency variations can produce measurement errors, loss of synchronization or detuning.

Who uses this standard

  • EMC/Compliance engineers, test laboratories, product manufacturers, utilities, and product committees that specify immunity requirements for devices connected to public or industrial mains.

Related Standards

  • IEC 61000 series (EMC framework) - Part 4 (testing) basic publication
  • IEC 61000-2-4 (compatibility levels for industrial plants)
  • IEC 60068-1 (environmental testing - reference climatic conditions)
  • IEC 60050(161) (EMC vocabulary)

FOREWORD
1) The IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of the IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, the IEC publishes International Standards. Their preparation is
entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with may
participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
with the IEC also participate in this preparation. The IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization
for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two
organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of the IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an
international consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation
from all interested National Committees.
3) The documents produced have the form of recommendations for international use and are published in the form
of standards, technical specifications, technical reports or guides and they are accepted by the National
Committees in that sense.
4) In order to promote international unification, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC International
Standards transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional standards. Any
divergence between the IEC Standard and the corresponding national or regional standard shall be clearly
indicated in the latter.
5) The IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with one of its standards.
6) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this International Standard may be the subject
of patent rights. The IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 61000-4-28 has been prepared by subcommittee 77A: Low-
frequency phenomena, of IEC technical committee 77: Electromagnetic compatibility.
This standard forms part 4-28 of the IEC 61000 series. It has the status of a basic EMC

Part 4-28: Testing and measurement techniques –
Variation of power frequency, immunity test
1 Scope
This part of IEC 61000 is a basic EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) publication. It considers
immunity tests for electric and/or electronic equipment in its electromagnetic environment. Only
conducted phenomena are considered, including immunity tests for equipment connected to
public and industrial networks.
The object of this part is to establish a reference for evaluating the immunity of electric and
electronic equipment when subjected to variations of the power frequency.
This standard applies to electric and/or electronic equipment connected to 50 Hz or 60 Hz
distributed network with rated line current up to 16 A per phase.
It does not apply to electric and/or electronic equipment connected to a.c. 400 Hz distribution
networks. Tests concerning these networks will be covered by other IEC standards.
In general, electrical and electronic equipment is not susceptible to minor variations of the
power frequency. Testing according to this standard should be limited to products which are
assessed to be susceptible to power frequency variations by virtue of design, environment or
failure consequences.
The immunity test levels required for a specific electromagnetic environment together with the
performance criteria are indicated in the product, product family or generic standards as
applicable.
