Scope
This part of IEC 61000 is a technical report reporting the development of a methodology for adapting IEC equipment emission limits (from IEC 61000-3-2 and IEC 61000-3-12) for use in regions not covered by these documents. It points out gaps in the international applicability of existing equipment emission limit standards and identifies public power system characteristics that are important for assessing harmonic voltage performance. The purpose of adapting the above IEC equipment harmonic emission standards to specific regions is to maintain similar electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) for equipment below 75A per phase in the public power systems of these regions. NOTE: The boundaries of the various voltage levels vary between countries (see IEC 60050-601:1985, 601-01-28). This document uses the following terminology when referring to 50 Hz and 60 Hz system voltages:  ——Low voltage (LV) means Un ≤ 1 kV;  ——Medium voltage (MV) means 1 kV < Un ≤ 35 kV;  ——High voltage (HV) means 35 kV < Un ≤ 230 kV. EMC requirements may have economic and social impacts; these factors were not considered during the development of this document. Consideration of these factors normally occurs in the work of technical committees that develop and maintain emission limit standards.
