The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) has issued IEC 61000-4-27 (2009-09) entitled, “Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) – Part 4-27: Testing and measurement techniques – Unbalance, immunity test for equipment with input current not exceeding 16 A per phase.” This standard considers immunity test for electric and/or electrical equipment (apparatus and system) in its electromagnetic environment. Only conducted phenomena are considered, including immunity tests for equipment connected to public and industrial networks. It establishes a reference for evaluating the immunity of electrical and electronic equipment when subjected to unbalanced power supply voltage. The standard applies to 50- Hz/60-Hz, three-phased powered electrical and/or electronic equipment with rated line current of up to 16 A per phase. This consolidated version consists of the first edition (2000) and its amendment 1 (2009). Therefore, there is no need to order amendments in addition to this publication.To learn more, or to purchase this standard, go to the IEC website.
