IEC 62586-2 – 9 – 85/394/CD 

INTRODUCTION

Power Quality instruments on the current market have different characteristics, which need a commonsystem of references. Therefore there is a need for a new standard in order to facilitate the choices of theend-users in terms of performances, safety, interpretation of the indications, ... This standard provides abasis by which such devices can be specified and described, and their performance evaluated.

It is acknowledged that IEC 61000-4-30 standard is a basic EMC publication. Detailed guidance oninstrument performance, performance verification methods, additional influence quantities and other 

similar information should, in general, be found in a product standard.

IEC 62586-2 is a standard specifying functional and uncertainty tests intended to verify the compliance of a product to class A and class S measurement methods defined in IEC 61000-4-30.

IEC 62586-2 is therefore not conflicting but complementing IEC 61000-4-30 standard.

This standard is based on IEC guide 111 recommendations.

IEC 62586-2 – 10 – 85/394/CD 

1 Scope

This standard specifies functional tests and uncertainty requirements for instruments whose functionsinclude measuring, monitoring and/or ascertaining Power Quality parameters in power supply systems,and whose measuring methods (class A or class S) are defined in IEC 61000-4-30.

These requirements are applicable in single, dual- (split phase) and 3-phase a.c. power supply systems at

50 Hz or 60 Hz.

If devices such as digital fault recorders, energy/power meters, protection relays or circuit breakersinclude Power Quality functions defined in 61000-4-30 class A or class S, and if those devices arespecified according to this standard, then this standard shall fully apply, and shall apply in addition to therelevant product standard. This standard does not replace the relevant product standard.

NOTE 1 - It is not the intent of this standard to address user interface or topics non related to device measurement performance.

NOTE 2 - The standard does not cover postprocessing & interpretation of the data, for example with a d edicated software.

3 Definitions, abbreviations, notations and symbols

For the purposes of this document, definitions of IEC 61000-4-30 apply as well as the following terms anddefinitions:

3.1 General definitions

3.1.1Limit range of operationextreme conditions that an measuring instrument can withstand without damage and without degradation

of its metrological characteristics when it is subsequently operated within its rated operating conditions

NOTE: measuring instrument should be able to function within the limit range of operation

3.1.2rated range of operationrange of values of a single influence quantity that forms a part of the rated operating conditions

NOTE: uncertainty should be met within the rated range of operation

3.2 Definitions related to uncertainty

3.2.1intrinsic uncertaintyuncertainty of a measuring instrument when used under reference conditions. In this standard, it is apercentage of the measured value defined in its rated range and with the other influence quantities under 

reference conditions, unless otherwise stated

[IEC 60359, definition 3.2.10, modified]

3.2.2influence quantityquantity which is not the subject of the measurement and whose change affects the relationship between

the indication and the result of the measurement

NOTE 1 Influence quantities can originate from the measured system, the measuring equipment or the environment [IEV].

NOTE 2 As the calibration diagram depends on the influence quantities, in order to assign the result of a measurement it isnecessary to know whether the relevant influence quantities lie within the specified range [IE V].

NOTE 3 An influence quantity is said to lie within a range C'  to C"  when the results of its measurement satisfy the relationship:

C' ≤ V – U  < V + U ≤ C".  

[IEC 60359, definition 3.1.14]

3.2.3variation (due to a single influence quantity)

difference between the value measured under reference conditions and any value measured within theinfluence range

NOTE The other performance characteristics and the other influence quantities should stay within the ranges specified for thereference conditions.

3.2.4(rated) operating conditions

set of conditions that must be fulfilled during the measurement in order that a calibration diagram may bevalid

NOTE Beside the specified measuring range and rated operating ranges for the influence quantities, the conditions may includespecified ranges for other performance characteristics and other indications that cannot be expressed as ranges of quantities.

[IEC 60359, definition 3.3.13]

3.2.5operating uncertainty

uncertainty under the rated operating conditions

Page 13: 85_394e_NP

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/85394enp 13/110

IEC 62586-2 – 13 – 85/394/CD 

NOTE The operating instrumental uncertainty, like the intrinsic one, is not evaluated by the user of the instrument, but is statedby its manufacturer or calibrator. The statement may be expressed by means of an algebraic relation involving the intrinsicinstrumental uncertainty and the values of one or several influence quantities, but such a relation is just a convenient means of expressing a set of operating instrumental uncertainties under different operating conditions, not a functional relation to be usedfor evaluating the propagation of uncertainty inside the instrument.

[IEC 60359, definition 3.2.11, modified]

3.2.6overall system uncertainty

uncertainty including the instrumental uncertainty of several separated instruments (sensors, wires,measuring instrument, etc.) under the rated operating conditions

6.9 Measurement of underdeviation and overdeviation parameters

6.9.1 Measurement method

Tests for the measurement method are specified in the table below for 10/12-cycle values only

(aggregation is specified in a later section).

IEC 61000-4-30 Ed. 2 describes the measurement method for Urms-under,i and Urms-over,ibased on the 10/12-cycle r.m.s. value Urms-200ms,i, where i denotes the specific 10/12-cycleinterval. However, the underdeviation (Uunder) and overdeviation (Uover) are only describedwithin the aggregation section. The table below assumes that Uunder and Uover may also becalculated for every 10/12-cycle interval, using the same formula from the aggregation sectionto aggregate a single 10/12-cycle value.

For the 10/12-cycle interval, a device shall make available at least one of Uunder and Urms-under, and at least one of Uover and Urms-over. All of the values that are made available shallcomply with the requirements stated below.

Each test shall last 1 second at least.

7.9.1 Measurement method

Tests for the measurement method are specified in the table below for 10/12-cycle values only(aggregation is specified in a later section).

IEC 61000-4-30 Ed. 2 describes the measurement method for Urms-under,i and Urms-over,ibased on the 10/12-cycle r.m.s. value Urms-200ms,i, where i denotes the specific 10/12-cycleinterval. However, the underdeviation (Uunder) and overdeviation (Uover) are only describedwithin the aggregation section. The table below assumes that Uunder and Uover may also becalculated for every 10/12-cycle interval, using the same formula from the aggregation sectionto aggregate a single 10/12-cycle value.

For the 10/12-cycle interval, a device shall make available at least one of Uunder and Urms-under, and at least one of Uover and Urms-over. All of the values that are made available shallcomply with the requirements stated below.

Test voltage levels P1, P3, and P5 according to Table 1 of Part 2 under reference conditions.

• Select the highest intrinsic uncertainty e.g. measured at Testpoint P5 = 0,092V (0.04% of Udin)

• Use Udin for further determination of influences caused by frequency and Harmonics ( See )

• Test influence of frequency on Udin at Testpoints S1, S3, and S5 according 5.2.2.2 of Part 2 andselect the highest variation e.g measured at Testpoint S5 = 0,069 V (0,03% of Udin)

• Test influence of Harmonics on Udin at Testpoints S1 acc. 5.2.2.2 of Part 2 and use the variation for calculation = 0,046 V (0,02% of Udin)

• Test influence of temperature at Testpoints ET1, ET2 and ET3 according Table 4 of Part2 and use thevariation of ET2 for further calculation = 0,23 V( 0,1% of Udin)

• Test influence of Power supply at testpoints EV1 and EV2 acc. Table 5 of Part2, result no variation

Annex D(informative)

Further tests on dips (polyphase)

D.1 Test procedure

D.1.1 General

For the following test requirements, the testing method shall be the following:

a) Prerequisites:

The equipment under test should be properly calibrated (amplitude accuracy) and its clock shall beproperly synchronized.

The manufacturer shall provide the necessary companion tools to allow access to the dips/swells/interruption information required to perform the IEC 61000-4-30 test protocol.

The ‘DSI’ test requires to verify the time tags, duration and remaining voltage or depth (dips or interruptions) and/or amplitude (for swells), expressed as a percentage of U din or in primary voltage units

(for example V or kV).

b) Test protocol:

The ‘DSI’ test will be used for each of the declared U din declared by the manufacturer, and for each of the

mains frequencies supported.

c) General:

Injection 3 phase waveform with a steady state pre-fault and post-fault of minimum 30s at U din . Pre-fault

and post-fault sections will be ‘pure’ (nominally single-frequency) sine waves f(t) = U din sin(2PI freq t+Phi)

with a maximum distortion of 2%.

Phi will be chosen so that zero crossing occurs at a reference time tREF programmed in the injection test

equipment.

The fault will start at signal zero crossing (t REF) and will terminate at zero crossing, independently for each of the 3 phases. Therefore tREF_P2 for phase 2, will be delayed by120° compared to tREF. 

The injected fault duration will last a integer number of cycles. The duration will be according to the testsRMS injections described below.

Example for on phase of a typical N cycle injection:

The test shall not be done over a 10min boundary to avoid an eventual overlap condition due to theaggregation algorithm.

The test shall be conducted with an U din value giving the best signal to noise ratio. The manufacturer shall

indicate what is the optimal U din value for this test.

The EUT shall provide every 10/12 cycles RMS value and harmonics value with timestamp with a historydepth of at least 100 values.

NOTE 1: the EUT could either provide a log file or output the data continuously on a communication port, or any other mean thatcan achieve the required history depth.

NOTE 2: for class S device, on ly RMS values are required, because harmonic measurements are allowed to be with gap.

NOTE 3: the test can be run separately for harmonics and voltage magnitude if the device is not able to produce 10/12 cyclesvalue at the same time for harmonics and voltage magnitude.

Gapless measurements of voltage amplitude and harmonics

Wrong designs detection of the gapless and non overlapping measurements of 10/12 cycles RMS valuesand harmonics is a difficult task when trying to detect small gaps or overlap, or filtering effects (for 

example, using a sliding window longer than 10/12 cycles with an output every 10/12 cycles).

The following results are based on simulation, with the following simulation conditions:

- Sampling frequency: 10240Hz (first well suited frequency for harmonic analysis: 2048 pts for 200ms).

- Noise: Gaussian white noise @ 0.01x U din RMS. For steady state distortion free signal, this noise

level produces 200ms RMS value in the range U din +/-0.1% U din. This noise level simulates a

device just at the limit of the allowed intrinsic uncertainty

The signal used for checking gapless RMS voltage measurement is a fluctuating fundamental signal withfollowing settings:

- Sine modulation

- Fundamental amplitude : 100 % of U din  

- +/-10 % modulation depth

- Modulating frequency : 2,3Hz

With the above settings, the 10/12 cycles RMS values give this kind of waveform, illustrated in Figure D.2:

where n is the FFT bin corresponding to the modulating frequency and A(n) the corresponding amplitude(in our case, with an analysis window of 100 RMS values and a modulating frequency of 2.3Hz, n=46,

assuming the DC component as an index of 0).

Figure D.5 shows that this indicator has a very high value for exact gapless measurements anddecreases very quickly even with small gaps between consecutive measurements (negative missing

samples means overlap between consecutive measurements):

These results are valid for an ideal signal, i.e with 0% deviation on the fundamental frequency as well as

the modulating frequency and also with perfectly synchronized sampling. IEC 61000-4-7 tolerates adeviation of 300 x 10

assumed which is sampled with a sampling frequency error of -300 x 10-6

The value of QRMS with perfect design could be as low as 30. In order to keep some safety margin, wechose a limit value of 20 for QRMS. Under certain conditions, we may declare conform a device that hasa gap or overlap of 1 or 2 samples, but this risk is very low.

For harmonics, the same considerations apply. With the following settings:

Annex G(informative)

Testing equipment requirements

For compliance testing, the testing equipment should support the range of 200% U din.

NOTE 1 - For pre-compliance testing, arbitrary waveform generator can be used to inject after the attenuator.

NOTE 2 - The stability and uncertainty of the source and reference meter should be carefully considered, and should be at least 5times the one of the measured parameter.

For some class A tests, the testing equipment needs a time synchronisation with a sufficiently accuratetime source.

NOTE 3 - An alternative solution would be to use a not synchronized testing equipment along with a synchronized referencemeter, at least twice more accurate than the equipment under test.
