IEC releases report on voltage dips
Staff -- Test & Measurement World, 2/1/2003
The IEC recently released IEC/TR 61000-2-8 (2002-11) Ed. 1.0, "Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)— Part 2-8: Environment– Voltage dips and short interruptions on public electric power supply systems with statistical measurement results." This technical report describes the electromagnetic disturbance phenomena of voltage dips and short interruptions in terms of their sources, effects, remedial measures, methods of measurement, and measurement results (insofar as these are available).
The dips and interruptions are discussed primarily as phenomena observed on the networks of public electricity supply systems and having an effect on electrical equipment receiving its energy supply from those systems. The 89-page report costs CHF 138 (approximately $100 US). http://www.iec.ch.
