IEC 61000-3-3 Voltage Fluctuations and Flicker Test Standard

IEC 61000-3-3 deals with limiting voltage fluctuations and flicker affected by a general low voltage system. It specifies the limits of voltage changes that can be produced by equipment under certain conditions and provides guidance on evaluation methods.

IEC 61000-3-3 Voltage Fluctuations and Flicker Test Standard

This standard is applicable and not subject to electrical and electronic equipment with an input current equal to or less than 16 A per phase, intended for connection to public low-voltage distribution systems between 220 V and 250 V, and neutral to neutral at 50 Hz. For conditional connection. IEC 61000-3-3 has the status of a product family standard within the IEC 61000 series.

Flickering can be considered a symptom resulting from modulation of a load and its effect on its terminal voltage. When connected to a finite impedance voltage source, any load modulation will cause voltage fluctuations in the supply line.

IEC61000-3-3 deals primarily with limiting such surges and then flickering in public low-voltage systems. IEC61000-3-3 specifies the limits of voltage changes produced by electrical and electronic equipment when tested under these specified conditions.
