DIN EN 61000-4-18 VDE 0847-4-18:2007-12

This standard contains the German version of the European Standard EN 61000-4-18 and is identical with the International Standard IEC 61000-4-18. It describes the immunity test of electrical and electronic equipment against damped oscillatory waves which was extracted from IEC 61000-4-12. The considered damped oscillatory waves can be produced by switching in high and medium voltage installations or as consequence of a high-altitude nuclear electromagnetic pulse (HEMP). For the immunity test the test equipment is specified and the test method is described. Furthermore preferred test levels are specified, whose exact level shall be decided in product-, product family and generic standards or whose application shall be agreed upon, respectively.
