IEC 61000 (Electromagnetic compatibility)

IEC 61000 is a set of international standards focused on electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), which ensures that electrical devices can operate effectively without causing or being affected by electromagnetic interference. EMC is crucial for the reliable performance of various electronic equipment, from household appliances to industrial machines. The standards outline testing methods and limits for emissions (how much interference a device can emit) and immunity (how well a device can withstand interference). Essentially, IEC 61000 helps ensure that electronic devices work well together and don’t disrupt each other, promoting safety and functionality in our increasingly connected world.
