The locations covered are the power stations and the substations where apparatus of Electricity Utilities are installed.
Immunity requirements are given for the frequency range 0 Hz to 400 GHz, but only in respect of electromagnetic phenomena for which detailed test procedures, test instrumentation and test set-up are given in existing MS IEC standards.
The immunity requirements are suitable for satisfying the particular needs related to the functions and tasks of equipment and systems, for which reliable operation is required under actual electromagnetic conditions; in this respect, this standard establishes performance criteria for the different functional requirements.
Different requirements are given for equipment to be installed in power stations and substations.
