Applicable Standard : IS 15884, IS 16444 Part-1, IEC 62052-11
 Radiated emissions testing involves measuring the electromagnetic field strength
of the emissions that are unintentionally generated by your product.
 Emissions are inherent to the switching voltages and currents within any digital
circuit
 The emissions tend to be pretty directional, so a test lab has to vary the height of
the receiving antenna between 1 and 4 meters as well as rotate a turntable.
 The receiving antenna picks up both the signal direct from the EUT, as well as a
bounce off the ground.
 To increase measurement accuracy, the ground is covered with an
electromagnetically reflective surface (aluminium, steel, wire mesh etc..) and
this ground plane must be relatively flat.

The test shall be carried out according to IEC 62052-11 : 2020 under
the following conditions:
This test is applicable only to voltage transformer operated AC meters and
does not apply to DC meters.
The meter shall be in operating condition:
a) Voltage circuits and auxiliary power circuits energized with their highest
specified nominal voltages;
b) The current circuits shall be carrying the value of the current given in the
relevant particular requirements (accuracy class) standards;
c) The power factor (cosφ or sinφ) of the measured test signal shall be
according to the values given in the relevant accuracy class standard;
d) Cable length between the coupling device and the EUT shall be 1 m
The test shall be carried out according to IEC 62052-11 : 2020 under
the following conditions:
This test voltage shall be applied to each port at a time:
e) Mains port, HLV auxiliary power supply port and HLV signal ports:
1) In common mode: 2,5 kV;
2) In differential mode: 1,0 kV;
f) Test frequencies shall be:
1) 100 kHz, repetition rate: 40 Hz;
2) 1 MHz, repetition rate: 400 Hz;
g) Test duration: 60 s (15 cycles with 2 s on, 2 s off, for each frequency).
Evaluation criteria
During the test, a temporary degradation of primary functions is acceptable only within
defined limits:
a) energy registration: the variation in percentage error due to an influence quantity or a
disturbance shall not exceed the limits specified in the relevant particular
requirements (accuracy class) standards;
b) indicating display: degradation of display quality (colour, brightness, contrast,
sharpness, geometry, etc.) during the test is acceptable; the indication of the
content of energy registers may become unreadable during the test;
c) supply and load control switches: unexpected operation of the switch during the test
shall not occur.
During the test a temporary degradation or loss of other meter functions within the scope
of this document is acceptable, except for a reset of embedded software (firmware);
After the test, when the influence quantity or disturbance is removed, and the reference
test conditions are restored, the meter shall show no damage and shall operate with no
degradation of its metrological performance. All meter functions within the scope of this
document shall be restored without any intervention of the operator, and without removal
of the mains supply or the auxiliary power supply.
