Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) - Part 4-18: Testing and measurement techniques - Damped oscillatory wave immunity test
This part of IEC 61000 focuses on the immunity requirements and test methods for electrical
and electronic equipment, under operational conditions, with regard to:
a) repetitive slow damped oscillatory waves occurring mainly in power, control and signal
cables installed in high voltage and medium voltage (HV/MV) substations;
b) repetitive fast damped oscillatory waves occurring mainly in power, control and signal
cables installed in gas insulated substations (GIS) and in some cases also air insulated
substations (AIS) or in any installation due to high-altitude electromagnetic pulse (HEMP)
phenomena.
The object of this document is to establish a common and reproducible reference for
evaluating the immunity of electrical and electronic equipment when subjected to damped
oscillatory waves on supply, signal, control and earth ports. The test method documented in
this part of IEC 61000 describes a consistent method to assess the immunity of an equipment
or system against a defined phenomenon.
NOTE As described in IEC Guide 107, this is a basic EMC publication for use by product committees of the IEC.
As also stated in Guide 107, the IEC product committees are responsible for determining whether this immunity
test standard is applied or not, and if applied, they are responsible for determining the appropriate test levels and
performance criteria. 1
The document defines:
– test voltage and current waveforms;
– ranges of test levels;
– test equipment;
– calibration and verification procedures of test equipment;
– test setups;
– test procedure.

Compatibilité électromagnétique (CEM) - Partie 4-18: Techniques d'essai et de mesure - Essai d'immunité à l'onde oscillatoire amortie
IEC 61000-4-18: 2019 traite des exigences d'immunité et des méthodes d'essai des matériels électriques et électroniques dans des conditions d'exploitation, vis-à-vis:
a) des ondes oscillatoires amorties lentes répétitives se manifestant principalement sur les câbles d’alimentation, de commande et de signal installés dans les postes à haute et à moyenne tension (HT/MT);
b) des ondes oscillatoires amorties rapides répétitives se produisant principalement sur les câbles d'alimentation, de commande et de signal installés dans les postes métalliques sous enveloppes à isolation gazeuse (GIS) et dans certains cas également dans les postes à isolation par air (AIS) ou toute installation du fait des phénomènes d’impulsion électromagnétique à haute altitude (IEMN-HA).
Le présent document a pour objet d'établir une référence commune reproductible dans le but d'évaluer l’immunité des matériels électriques et électroniques, quand ils sont soumis aux ondes oscillatoires amorties sur des accès d’alimentation, de signal, de commande et par les bornes de terre. La méthode d'essai documentée dans cette partie de l’IEC 61000 décrit une méthode logique en vue d'évaluer l'immunité d'un équipement ou d'un système vis-à-vis d'un phénomène donné.NOTE Comme décrit dans le Guide 107 de l’IEC, il s’agit d’une publication fondamentale en CEM pour une utilisation par les comités de produits de l’IEC. Comme indiqué également dans le Guide 107, les comités de produits de l’IEC sont chargés de déterminer si cette norme d’essai d’immunité est appliquée ou non. Si tel est le cas, il leur incombe de déterminer les niveaux d’essai et les critères d’aptitude à la fonction appropriés. Le document définit:
la tension d'essai et les formes d'ondes de courant;
les plages de niveaux d'essais;
le matériel d'essai;
les procédures d’étalonnage et de vérification du matériel d'essai;
les montages d'essai;
une procédure d’essai.
Cette deuxième édition annule et remplace la première édition parue en 2006 et l'Amendement 1:2010. Cette édition constitue une révision technique. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente:
a) ajout d’une modélisation mathématique de la forme d’onde oscillatoire amortie;
b) nouvelle Annexe B sur l’incertitude de mesure;
c) ajout d’un CDN à grande vitesse;
d) ajout des procédures d’étalonnage pour les CDN;
e) ajout de l’utilisation de la pince de couplage capacitive sur les lignes d’interconnexion pour les ondes oscillatoires amorties rapides;
f) ajout d’une procédure d'essai pour les convertisseurs continu/continu en cas de non-fonctionnement du CDN;
g) nouvelle Annexe C sur les problèmes liés à l’alimentation des EUT équipés de convertisseurs continu/continu en entrée.

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of 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, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). 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. 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 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 IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 61000-4-18 has been prepared by subcommittee 77B: High
frequency phenomena, of IEC Technical Committee 77: Electromagnetic compatibility.
It forms Part 4-18 of the IEC 61000 series. It has the status of a basic EMC publication in
accordance with IEC Guide 107.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2006 and its
Amendment 1:2010. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
edition:
a) addition of a mathematical modelling of damped oscillatory wave waveform;
b) new Annex B on measurement uncertainty;
c) addition high speed CDN;
