IEC 61000-4-5

IEC 61000-4-5 is a standard that addresses how electrical and electronic equipment should withstand voltage surges, such as those caused by lightning strikes or power grid switching. It outlines testing methods to evaluate the robustness of devices against these potentially damaging surges, ensuring they can operate reliably in various conditions. By following this standard, manufacturers can design products that are better protected, reducing the risk of equipment failure and enhancing overall safety in residential, commercial, and industrial environments. This helps maintain the reliability and longevity of electronic systems.
