EMC Environment

Assemblies can emit and the must be immune to external

 electromagnetic disturbances. IEC defines two categories

 

 a) Environment A - relates to low-voltage non-public or industrial

 networks / locations / installations including highly disturbing sources.

 

 b) Environment B - relates to low-voltage public networks such as

 domestic commercial and light industrial locations / installations.

 

 This environment does not cover highly disturbing sources such as  arc welders.

 The specifier should detail a requirement for either Environment A or B.

 In exceptional applications, for example, some rail applications, it is

 necessary to specify a higher level of immunity.
