Radiated susceptibility • Radiated susceptibility is a measure of the system’s ability to operate acceptably when subjected to an externally generated electromagnetic field.
• Test Method: IEC 61000-4-3
• Test Level: IEC 60601-1-2

• Acceptance criteria: EUT should function
normally during and after the test Compiled by: Kaustubh Varadpande Conducted susceptibility test • Conducted susceptibility or immunity is the ability of a system to operate acceptably when subjected to radio frequency voltage or current on interconnecting conductors. Typically such radio frequency noise is induced on electrical conductors from a variety of sources and coupling mechanisms.
• Test Method: IEC 61000-4-6

This test is performed on power, signal, and earth wires.
• Test Method: IEC 61000-4-4
• Test Level: IEC 60601-1-2
• Test specs: +/-2kV
• Test setup: Transient generator
• Acceptance criteria: EUT should function
normally during and after the test Compiled by: Kaustubh Varadpande Surge test • The basics of the test are to subject the system to voltage spikes on top of the nominal voltage input to the system. These spikes are representative of voltage fluctuations that occur from causes such as large motor drives, nearby lightning strikes, etc. These high voltage deviations can cause a variety of issues when applied to a system not designed to handle them.
