IEC61000-3-2 2001 Minimum Power
This is the power level specified by the standard, below which no limits
apply. (Except for lighting equipment. When Class C is selected this field
is inactive).
At the time of publication (March 2001) this value is 75 Watts.
IEC61000-3-2 2001 Specified Power
The power of the equipment under test as specified by the 'manufacturer'.
The specified power is used to calculate limits for Class D and some Class
C tests. This field is inactive when Class A or Class B is selected.
The power must be determined using the methods detailed below. If the
power is unknown, it will be measured by the analyzer and this value can
be entered retrospectively at the end of the tests and the limits re-computed
accordingly.
(from 6.2.2 of the standard…..)
The value of input power to be used for calculation of limits shall be
determined as follows:
•
measure the 1.5s smoothed active input power in each DFT time
window;
•
determine the maximum of the measured values of power from the
DFT time windows over the entire duration of the test.
The value for power, measured as defined in this clause, shall be specified
by the manufacturer and documented in the test report. This value shall be
used for establishing limits during emissions tests when limits are specified
in terms of power. In order not to specify a power at which limits change
