Industrial or public low-voltage power grid UPS system electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) standard requirements

-2018-08-28-

1 Overview

1.1 Scope

This standard applies to a single uninterruptible power supply ( UPS) connected to an industrial or public low-voltage grid or a UPS system consisting of several UPS interconnections and associated controllers/switches. They are intended to be installed in any location accessible to the operator or in an independent electrical location.

This standard is an EMC standard for products that takes precedence over all common standards in all respects and does not require additional testing.

These requirements are chosen to ensure that the UPS has the appropriate level of electromagnetic compatibility in public or industrial locations. However, these levels do not cover extreme conditions, which can occur anywhere, but with a low probability.

In order to adapt to the range of physical dimensions and power ratings of the UPS, various test conditions need to be considered.

As a stand-alone product, the UPS unit or UPS system should meet the relevant requirements of this standard, but does not consider the EMC phenomenon caused by any load connected to the output of the UPS equipment.

This standard does not contain a special installation environment, nor does it consider the failure of the UPS.

This standard does not include DC-powered electronic ballasts ( IEC60924 and IEC60925) or UPS based rotary units.

This standard specifies:

- EMC requirements;

--experiment method;

- the lowest performance level.

1.3 Definition

In addition to the definitions specified in GB/T4365, this standard supplements the following definitions.

1.3.1 Port

The special interface between the UPS and the external electromagnetic environment is shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1 Port example

1.3.2 enclosure port (enclosure port)

The electromagnetic field can emit and invade the physical interface of the UPS.

2 launch

This chapter deals with disturbances in the frequency range from 0 Hz to 1.0 GHz.

The purpose of determining the launch requirements is to ensure that the harassment generated during normal operation of the UPS does not reach the level that prevents other equipment from operating properly.

Note 1: When the Class B UPS is used, the distance from the receiving antenna is less than 10m. When the Class A UPS is used, the distance from the receiving antenna is less than 30m. The limits specified in this standard cannot provide sufficient protection for radio and television reception.

Note 2: If the UPS is used near high-sensitivity equipment, additional suppression measures may be required to further reduce the electromagnetic emissions to a specified level.

2.1 General requirements

The UPS shall comply with the emission limits specified in 2.41) to 2.5.

The UPS shall be tested under the following conditions:

- rated input voltage;

——operating in normal operation mode and energy storage operation mode;

- Access to a linear load that produces the highest level of disturbance.

2.4 and 2.5 are mainly to determine the EMC limits and measurement methods of the UPS specified in this standard. These limits and methods are based on UPS electromagnetic emissions that may interfere with other equipment (such as radio receivers).

These emission limits are the most basic electromagnetic compatibility requirements.

The test requirements are for each port and the test method is given in Appendix A.

2.2 UPS classification

According to electromagnetic emissions, UPS products should be divided into two categories.

a) UPS that does not limit the sales range

There is no restriction on the scope of sales of UPS, and the use of UPS has nothing to do with the technical capabilities of customers and users. It is called “UPS without limiting sales scope” and implements lower emission limits according to basic EMC protection requirements. This type of product can be divided into Class A UPS and Class B UPS.

1) Class A UPS

UPS used in all facilities that are not home and are not directly connected to the residential low voltage power supply network. (All UPSs that are connected by industrial plugs, sockets, or permanently connected, and UPSs that are fitted with industrial-only plugs and sockets for industrial use are Class A UPSs).

For Class A UPS, the following should be included in the instruction manual:

Warning: This is a Class A UPS product that may cause radio interference in a home environment where additional measures may be required. Class A UPS shall meet the Class A UPS limits of this standard.

Note: Although the limits for Class A UPS are proposed for the industrial and commercial sectors, the management may allow Class A UPS equipment to be in the home and directly connected to the residential low voltage power supply network, after taking any additional measures necessary. Installation and use.

2) Class B UPS

This UPS is suitable for all occasions, including the home, as well as facilities that are directly connected to the residential low-voltage power supply network. [All Class B UPSs must be connected to plugs and sockets in accordance with national standards (GB1002) unless clearly marked for industrial use only or for industrial applications only).

Class B UPS shall meet the limits of Class B UPS of this standard.

b) UPS that limits the scope of sales

“Limited sales coverage” means selling only to customers and users with higher technical capabilities and performing higher emission limits. For economic reasons, manufacturers and users are required to cooperate and negotiate to determine the EMC protection requirements for specific equipment by selecting emission limits or on-site measurements, taking into account all different equipment and boundary conditions.

For UPSs that limit the scope of sales, the following should be included in the instruction manual:

Warning: This is a UPS product that limits the scope of sales. To prevent harassment, there may be installation restrictions and additional measures.

Such limited-range UPSs are limited to rated output currents greater than 25A and are intended to be installed in commercial or industrial buildings with their own power transformers and at least 30m from the boundaries of all other facilities and/or users.

2.3 General measurement conditions

The maximum emission generated by the equipment under test shall be measured within the tested frequency band and in accordance with the normal operating conditions. The UPS operates in the normal mode and the energy storage mode.

The maximum emission is achieved by changing the test configuration of the UPS under test.

For UPSs with additional power terminals (ports) that are independently powered by the stationary bypass circuit and/or the maintenance bypass circuit, these additional power terminals (ports) should be temporarily connected to the normal AC input port whenever possible. Conducted emission tests at 2.4 should include measurements of these additional circuits.

If the UPS is part of the system or can be connected to an auxiliary device, the UPS test only needs to connect the minimum of auxiliary devices necessary to operate these ports, or to terminate the equivalent impedance at the port.

The UPS AC output should be connected to a linear load so that the device under test can operate under any load conditions of its rated output. The test arrangement and operation mode at the time of measurement shall be accurately stated in the test report. The test arrangement and measurement criteria are given in Appendix A, and the field test is shown in Appendix A.8.3.

Tests shall be carried out at their rated input voltage within the specified UPS operating environment, unless otherwise stated.

2.3.1 Buyer, User Documentation

a) If special measures for shielded or special cables are required for compatibility, the buyer, the user, and any restrictions on the length of the AC output cable should be specified.

b) The documents required by the buyer and the user should be sent by letter, and the list of auxiliary devices and the emission requirements of the UPS should be provided together.

2.3.2 Applicability

The relevant ports of the UPS are measured.

2.4 Conducted emissions

When using an average detector receiver and a quasi-peak detector receiver, respectively, the UPS should meet both the average and quasi-peak limits and measure according to the method specified in Appendix A.5.

When using a quasi-peak detector receiver measurement, if the average limit is met, the device under test is considered to meet the two limits and no longer need to be measured with the average detector receiver.

If the reading shown on the measurement receiver fluctuates around the limit, the observation time for each measurement frequency reading should be no less than 15 s, the maximum reading is recorded, and any large readings at any isolated instant should be ignored.
