Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) - Part 4-30: Testing and measurement techniques - Power quality measurement methods

IEC 61000-4-30:2025 defines the methods for measurement and interpretation of results for power quality parameters in AC power supply systems with a declared fundamental frequency of 50 Hz or 60 Hz. Measurement methods are described for each relevant parameter in terms that give reliable and repeatable results, regardless of the method’s implementation. This document addresses measurement methods for in-situ measurements. This document covers two classes of measurement methods (Class A and Class S). The classes of measurement are specified in Clause 4.
NOTE 1 In this document, “A” stands for “advanced” and “S” stands for “surveys”.
Measurement of parameters covered by this document is limited to conducted phenomena in power systems. The power quality parameters considered in this document are power frequency, magnitude of the supply voltage, flicker, supply voltage dips and swells, voltage interruptions, transient voltages, supply voltage unbalance, voltage harmonics and interharmonics, rapid voltage changes, mains communicating system (MCS) voltages, magnitude of current, harmonic currents, interharmonic currents and current unbalance. Emissions in the 2 kHz to 150 kHz range are considered in Annex C and Annex D. Depending on the purpose of the measurement, all or a subset of the phenomena on this list can be measured.
NOTE 2 Test methods for verifying compliance with this document can be found in IEC 62586-2.
NOTE 3 The effects of transducers inserted between the power system and the instrument are acknowledged but not addressed in detail in this document. Guidance about effects of transducers can be found IEC TR 61869-103.

Compatibilité électromagnétique (CEM) - Partie 4-30: Techniques d'essai et de mesure - Méthodes de mesure de la qualité de l'alimentation

IEC 61000-4-30:2025 définit les méthodes de mesure des paramètres de qualité de l'alimentation des réseaux d'énergie électrique en courant alternatif à une fréquence fondamentale déclarée de 50 Hz ou 60 Hz et la façon d'interpréter les résultats. Les méthodes de mesure sont décrites pour chaque paramètre applicable en des termes qui fournissent des résultats fiables et répétables, indépendamment de la mise en œuvre de la méthode. Le présent document porte sur les méthodes de mesure destinées aux mesurages in situ. Le présent document couvre deux classes de méthodes de mesure (classe A et classe S). Les classes de mesure sont spécifiées à l'Article 4.
NOTE 1 Dans le présent document, "A" signifie "advanced" et "S" signifie "surveys".
Le mesurage des paramètres couverts par le présent document se limite aux phénomènes conduits sur les réseaux d'énergie électrique. Les paramètres de qualité de l'alimentation pris en compte dans le présent document sont la fréquence industrielle, l'amplitude de la tension d'alimentation, le papillotement, les creux de la tension d'alimentation et les surtensions temporaires à fréquence industrielle, les coupures de tension, les tensions transitoires, le déséquilibre de tension d'alimentation, les harmoniques et interharmoniques de tension, les variations rapides de tension, les tensions des systèmes de communication par le réseau d'alimentation (MCS), l'amplitude du courant, les courants harmoniques, les courants interharmoniques et le déséquilibre de courant. Les émissions dans la plage comprise entre 2 kHz et 150 kHz sont prises en compte à l'Annexe C et à l'Annexe D. En fonction de l'objet du mesurage, celui-ci peut porter soit sur une partie des phénomènes de cette liste soit sur l'ensemble.
NOTE 2 Les méthodes d'essai concernant la vérification de la conformité au présent document peuvent être consultées dans l'IEC 62586-2.
NOTE 3 Les effets des transducteurs lorsqu'ils sont placés entre le réseau et l'appareil de mesure sont pris en compte, mais non traités en détail dans le présent document. Des recommandations concernant les effets des transducteurs peuvent être consultées dans l'IEC TR 61869-103.

224 ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY (EMC) –
226 Part 4-30: Testing and measurement techniques –
227 Power quality measurement methods
229 FOREWORD
230 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
231 all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
232 co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and
233 in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
234 Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their
235 preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with
236 may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
237 with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for
238 Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
239 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
240 consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
241 interested IEC National Committees.
242 3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
243 Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
244 Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
245 misinterpretation by any end user.
246 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
247 transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
248 any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
249 5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
250 assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
251 services carried out by independent certification bodies.
252 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
253 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
254 members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
255 other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
256 expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
257 Publications.
258 8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
259 indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
260 9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent
261 rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
262 International Standard IEC 61000-4-30 has been prepared by subcommittee 77A: EMC – Low-
263 frequency phenomena, of IEC technical committee 77: Electromagnetic compatibility.
264 This standard forms part 4-30 of IEC 61000. It has the status of a basic EMC publication in
265 accordance with IEC Guide 107.
266 This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition published in 2015. This edition
267 constitutes a technical revision.
268 This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
269 edition:
270 a) Corrigendum 1 and Amendment 1 of IEC 61000-4-30 Ed. 3 were included.
271 b) The measurement method for rapid voltage changes (RVC) has been corrected and
272 extended.
273 c) The measurement method for voltage events has been updated and extended.

324 ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY (EMC) –
326 Part 4-30: Testing and measurement techniques –
327 Power quality measurement methods
331 1 Scope
332 This part of IEC 61000-4 defines the methods for measurement and interpretation of results for
333 power quality parameters in AC power supply systems with a declared fundamental frequency
334 of 50 Hz or 60 Hz.
335 Measurement methods are described for each relevant parameter in terms that give reliable
336 and repeatable results, regardless of the method’s implementation. This standard addresses
337 measurement methods for in-situ measurements.
338 This standard covers two classes of measurement methods (Class A and Class S). The classes
339 of measurement are specified in Clause 4.
340 NOTE 1 In this standard, “A” stands for “Advanced” and “S” stands for “Surveys”.
341 Measurement of parameters covered by this standard is limited to conducted phenomena in
342 power systems. The power quality parameters considered in this standard are power frequency,
343 magnitude of the supply voltage, flicker, supply voltage dips and swells, voltage interruptions,
344 transient voltages, supply voltage unbalance, voltage harmonics and interharmonics, rapid
345 voltage changes, mains communicating system voltages and current measurements.
346 Emissions in the 2 kHz to 150 kHz range are considered in Annex C and Annex D (informative).
347 Depending on the purpose of the measurement all or a subset of the phenomena on this list
348 may be measured.
349 NOTE 2 Test methods for verifying compliance with this standard can be found in IEC 62586-2.
350 NOTE 3 The effects of transducers inserted between the power system and the instrument are acknowledged but
351 not addressed in detail in this standard. Guidance about effects of transducers can be found IEC TR 61869-103.
352 NOTE 4 Measurements of voltage signals associated with MCS are also in the scope of this standard.

383 3 Terms and definitions
384 For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in IEC 60050-161, as well
385 as the following apply.
386 3.1
387 channel
388 individual measurement path through an instrument
389 Note 1 to entry: “Channel” and “phase” are not the same. A voltage channel is by definition the difference in potential
390 between 2 conductors. Phase refers to a single conductor. On polyphase systems, a channel may be between any
391 two phases, or between any phase and neutral, or between any phase and earth, or between neutral and earth.
392 3.2
393 declared input voltage
394 U
din
395 value obtained from the declared supply voltage by a transducer ratio
396 Note 1 to entry: This quantity can be expressed as a phase-to-phase or as a phase-to-neutral value.
397 3.3
398 declared supply voltage
399 U
c
400 normally the nominal voltage U of the system
n
401 Note 1 to entry: If by agreement between the supplier and the customer a voltage different from the nominal voltage
402 is applied to the terminals, then this voltage is the declared supply voltage U
c.
403 3.4
404 dip threshold
405 voltage magnitude specified for the purpose of detecting the start and the end of a voltage dip
406 3.5
407 flagged data
408 for any measurement time interval in which interruptions, dips or swells occur, the marked
409 measurement results of all other parameters made during this time interval
410 Note 1 to entry: For some applications, this ‘marked’ or ‘flagged’ data may be excluded from further analysis, for
411 example. See 4.8 for further explanation.

428 3.8
429 fundamental frequency
430 frequency in the spectrum obtained from a Fourier transform of a time function, to which all the
431 frequencies of the spectrum are referred
432 Note 1 to entry: In case of any remaining risk of ambiguity, the fundamental frequency may be derived from the
433 number of poles and speed of rotation of the synchronous generator(s) feeding the system.
434 3.9
435 harmonic component
436 any of the components having a harmonic frequency
437 Note 1 to entry: Its value is normally expressed as an r.m.s. value. For brevity, such component may be referred to
438 simply as a harmonic.
439 [SOURCE: IEC 61000-2-2:2002, 3.2.4]
440 3.10
441 harmonic frequency
442 frequency which is an integer multiple of the fundamental frequency
443 Note 1 to entry: The ratio of the harmonic frequency to the fundamental frequency is the harmonic order
444 (recommended notation: h).

446 3.11
447 hysteresis
448 difference in magnitude between the start and end thresholds
449 Note 1 to entry: This definition of hysteresis is relevant to PQ measurement parameters and is different from the
450 IEC 60050 definition which is relevant to iron core saturation.
451 Note 2 to entry: The purpose of hysteresis in the context of PQ measurements is to avoid counting multiple events
452 when the magnitude of the parameter oscillates about the threshold level.
453 3.12
454 influence quantity
455 quantity which is not the subject of the measurement and whose change affects the relationship
456 between the ind
