IEC 62041:2003 pdf – Power transformers, power supply units, reactors and similar products – EMC requirements.
1 Scope This international product family standard applies to independent transformers, reactors and power supply units covered by IEC 60989 and the IEC 61558 series of standards. It prescribes the electromagnetic compatibility requirements for emission and immunity in the frequency range 0 Hz to 1 000 MHz. Transformers, reactors and power supply units delivered with or incorporated in an appliance or equipment shall comply with the relevant EMC standard applicable to that appliance or equipment. However this standard may be used as a guide to test the transformers, reactors and power supply units separately before incorporating them in the appliance or equipment. This EMC standard covers only performance. Abnormal operation of the transformer, reactor and power supply unit (e.g. simulated faults in the electric circuitry for testing purposes or functional safety by influence of electromagnetic phenomena) are not taken into consideration in this standard. NOTE When the term transformer is used, it covers transformers, reactors and power supplies where applicable. This standard does not apply to: – motor-generator sets; – uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) covered by IEC 62040; – power supply units covered by IEC 61204, (i.e. DC-DC converters, DC power and distribution equipment and power supply units for use in applications covered by IEC 60950, IEC 61010-1, IEC 60601-1 and IEC 60065); – step-down converters covered by IEC61347-1 and 61347-2-2; – power supplies and converters for use with or in products covered by IEC 61347-2-2. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

4 Classification Transformers are classified according to the incorporation of components and electronic circuits as follows: – Category 0: transformers with or without passive protection component(s) and without electronic circuits; – Category 1: transformers with passive components, and without electronic circuits; – Category 2: transformers with electronic circuits. NOTE 1 Examples of passive protection components are: fuses, thermal links, thermal cut-outs, circuit-breakers, PTC’s, NTC’s and resistors. NOTE 2 Examples of passive components are capacitors, inductors, diodes, LED’s, relays, VDR’s. NOTE 3 Examples of electronic circuits are active semiconductors. 5 Test specifications 5.1 Immunity 5.1.1 Immunity against disturbances Transformers shall have sufficient immunity against disturbances from their surroundings. Category 0 transformers are not sensitive to normal electromagnetic perturbations and as a consequence are deemed to fulfil the immunity requirements without testing. Category 1 transformers shall fulfil the following requirements: – electrostatic discharge; NOTE 1 Some passive components like small capacitors (e.g. Y-type), diodes, LED or relays may be sensitive to electrostatic discharges. – electrical fast transient/burst; NOTE 2 Some passive components like small capacitors (e.g. Y-type), diodes, LED or relays may be sensitive to electrical fast transients. – surge. NOTE 3 Some passive components like small capacitors (e.g. Y-type), diodes, LED or relays may be sensitive to surges. The requirements are given in 5.1.2.1, 5.1.2.3 and 5.1.2.5 on a port by port basis. Category 2 transformers shall fulfil the following requirements: – electrostatic discharge; – electrical fast transient/burst; – surge; – conducted disturbances, inducted by radio-frequency fields; – radiated, radio-frequency electromagnetic fields; – voltage dips and short interruptions.
