EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of IEC EN 60555-2 testing. This standard applies to household and similar electrical and electronic equipment intended to be connected to low voltage ac distribution systems.
Examples of electrical equipment to which this standard applies are cooking and heating appliances, motorized or magnetically driven appliances, portable appliances, dimmers and radio and television receivers.
IEC EN 60555-2 is a standard that deals specifically with the measurement and evaluation of harmonic emissions from household appliances and similar electrical equipment and their effects on the supply system. The standard applies to equipment with a rated voltage of up to 250 V and 16 A per phase.
Harmonics are voltage and current components with frequencies that are multiples of the fundamental frequency (50 Hz or 60 Hz depending on the region). These harmonics can cause problems such as overheating of electrical equipment, increased power losses, and interference in communication and control systems.
IEC EN 60555-2 provides measurement and testing procedures to evaluate the limits of these emissions as well as harmonic emissions from household appliances and similar electrical equipment to ensure compatibility with other equipment connected to the same supply system. The standard also covers the calculation of the total harmonic distortion (THD) of the supply voltage, which is a measure of the overall harmonic content in the system.
Manufacturers of household appliances and similar electrical equipment can use the standard to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and to ensure that their equipment does not cause excessive interference or damage to the supply system or other connected equipment.
In summary, IEC EN 60555-2 is an important standard that helps ensure the safe and efficient operation of household appliances and similar equipment by limiting harmonic emissions and evaluating their effects on the supply system.
