Overview

EN 61000-4-27:2000/A2:2025 (SIST EN IEC 61000-4-27:2002/oprA2:2025) is an amendment to the IEC/CENELEC test standard for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). It specifies testing and measurement techniques for unbalance immunity of equipment with input current not exceeding 16 A per phase. Amendment 2 (2025) updates test levels, generator requirements, definitions (including UN - nominal phase-to-neutral voltage, and rise/fall time), test execution, result evaluation and introduces a revised informative Annex B for calculating the degree of unbalance.

Key topics and technical requirements

  • Scope: Immunity tests for three-phase supply unbalance applicable to equipment ≤16 A per phase.
  • Test levels (Table 1): Corrected phase-angle signs for a positive phase sequence; three classes (1, 2, 3) plus Class X (special). Notable numeric change: ku2 for Class 2 Test 3 corrected to 28%.
  • Definitions added: Nominal phase-to-neutral voltage (UN), rise time and fall time (10%–90% conventions).
  • Test generators (Table 2): Updated performance specs including:
    • Output voltage capability: from 0.6·UN to 1.15·UN
    • Voltage accuracy: 0.98·UN to 1.02·UN
    • Output current capability: must supply EUT under all conditions and provide a crest factor ≥ 3 on calibration load
    • Voltage rise/fall time (10%–90%): 1 µs to 5 µs (generator loaded with 100 Ω)
    • Phase shifting ranges and phase accuracy ≤ 1°, frequency accuracy ≤ 0.5%
  • Test set-up & execution: EUT placed at steady mains voltage and subjected to unbalance sequences (Figure 2). Monitoring must show operational status during and after tests.
  • Evaluation & reporting: Results classified against the intended use/performance of the product; pass/fail rationale tied to intended use. Test report requirements updated accordingly.
  • Annex B: Two equivalent calculation methods for degree of unbalance - a non-complex numeric method and a phasor/matrix method.

Practical applications and users

  • Who uses it: EMC test laboratories, product manufacturers (appliances, industrial controls, power supplies), compliance engineers, certification bodies, and product committees defining family-specific immunity levels.
  • Why it matters: Ensures devices operate reliably under asymmetric three‑phase supply conditions (phase amplitude/angle deviations) common in utility and industrial systems. Useful for product design validation, type testing, and regulatory certification for low-current equipment.

Related standards

  • IEC 61000-4-27 (base standard)
  • IEC 60050-161 (electrical vocabulary - source for rise/fall time)
  • IEC 61000-4-11 (related definitions/practices for transitions)
  • IEC 61000-2-4 (original reference for test level relation; Annex D referenced in this amendment)

AMENDMENT 2
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) IEC draws attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use of (a)
patent(s). IEC takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed patent rights in
respect thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, IEC had not received notice of (a) patent(s), which
may be required to implement this document. However, implementers are cautioned that this may not represent
the latest information, which may be obtained from the patent database available at https://patents.iec.ch. IEC
shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
Amendment 2 to IEC 61000-4-27:2000 has been prepared by subcommittee 77A: EMC – Low
frequency phenomena, of IEC technical committee 77: Electromagnetic compatibility.
The text of this Amendment is based on the following documents:

INTRODUCTION
This amendment contains the following main changes in comparison with IEC 61000-4-
27:2000/AMD1:2009:
The angles in Table 1 (test levels) suggest a three-phase system with a negative phase
sequence while the intention is to have a positive phase sequence and thus the signs and
values of all angles in Table 1 should be corrected. In addition, the value of ku2 of class 2,
test 3 is 28 % instead of 25 %. The Table 1 is modified accordingly
Class X is defined as special and levels 2 and 3 refers to Annex D instead of 61000-2-4.
U is deleted from Table 1, and it is moved to the new Clause 3 (Terms, definitions, and
N
abbreviations). The definition 3.5 U nominal phase to neutral voltage is added.
N
In addition, the definition of rise and fall time is added (as in 61000-4-11:2020).
The text in Note 1 in Table 1 is deleted and replaced by “U is lagging against U , and U is
b a c
leading against U ”.
a
In Table 1 Add NOTE 2: The product committee may specify any test level; however, for
equipment connected to public supply systems, it Is recommended that the levels should not
be lower than those defined for class 2.
