This International Standard applies to fixed inductors designed for electromagnetic interference
suppression and which fall within the scope of the generic specification, IEC 60938-1. It 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 table 1 is necessary, or used in other circuit positions
where the equipment specification prescribes that some or all of these safety tests are required.
This standard applies to fixed inductors which will be connected to an a.c. mains or other
supply with a nominal voltage not exceeding 1 000 V a.c. (r.m.s.) or d.c. between conductors
and with a nominal frequency not exceeding 400 Hz.
