MT 60938-2 is a Technical Committee within the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). It is named "TC 40/MT 60938-2". This committee has published 1 standards.
MT 60938-2 develops IEC standards in the area of Information technology. Currently, there are 1 published standards from this technical committee.
The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is the world's leading organization for the preparation and publication of international standards for electrical, electronic, and related technologies. Founded in 1906, the IEC provides a global platform for companies, industries, and governments to meet, discuss, and develop the international standards they require.
A Technical Committee (TC) in IEC is a group of experts responsible for developing international standards in a specific technical area. TCs are composed of national member body delegates and work through consensus to create standards that meet global industry needs. Each TC may have subcommittees (SCs) and working groups (WGs) for specialized topics.
IEC 60938-2:2021 applies to fixed inductors designed for electromagnetic interference suppression, which will be connected to an AC mains or other supply with a nominal voltage not exceeding 1 000 V AC RMS or 1 500 V DC with a nominal frequency not exceeding 400 Hz.
This sectional specification is restricted to fixed inductors for which safety tests are appropriate. This implies that inductors specified according to this specification will either be connected to mains supplies, when compliance with the mandatory tests of Annex A is necessary, or used in other circuit positions where the equipment specification prescribes that some or all of these safety tests are required.
The object of this document is to prescribe standard requirements for safety tests, preferred ratings and characteristics, to select from IEC 60938-1 the appropriate methods of test and to give general performance requirements for suppression inductors.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
- the test plan for performance testing has been removed; mandatory safety tests and optional performance tests are listed in one test plan in Annex B;
- requirements for Thyristor-Chokes have been withdrawn;
- material requirements are harmonized with IEC 60939-3 and UL 60939-3;
- AC chokes up to 1 000 V and DC chokes up to 1 500 V are now in the Scope.
