This course is designed to help you understand the fundamentals of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing, with a specific focus on voltage fluctuation immunity testing according to IEC 61000-4-14. Voltage fluctuations can affect the operation and performance of electrical and electronic equipment. Understanding how to evaluate equipment immunity to these disturbances is important for engineers, test laboratory professionals, product developers, and compliance specialists working in the field of EMC. Throughout this course, you will explore the purpose and scope of IEC 61000-4-14, understand the principles of voltage fluctuation immunity testing, and become familiar with the test arrangements and measurement concepts used to evaluate equipment under test (EUT).
