27、tic shielding performance tests for cabinets and subracks 1 Scope and object This part of IEC 61587 specifies the tests for empty cabinets and subracks concerning electromagnetic shielding performance, in the frequency range of 30 MHz to 3 000 MHz. Stipulated attenuation values are chosen for the de
28、finition of the shielding performance level of cabinets and subracks for the IEC 60297 and IEC 60917 series. The shielding performance levels are chosen with respect to the requirements of the typical fields of industrial application. They will support the measures to achieve electromagnetic compati
29、bility but cannot replace the final testing of compliance of the equipped enclosure. The purpose of this standard is to ensure physical integrity and environmental performance of cabinets and subracks, taking into account the need for different levels of performance in different applications. It is
30、intended to give the user a level of confidence in the selection of products to meet his specific needs. This standard in whole or in part applies only to the empty enclosures, for example cabinets and subracks according to IEC 60297 and IEC 60917 and does not apply to the enclosures when electronic
31、 equipment is installed. Chassis may be tested in the same way as subracks and cases may be tested in the same way as cabinets. This standard was developed in close relationship to IEC 61000-5-7 but with the specific focus on subracks and cabinets and the determination of performance levels at the c
32、hosen frequency range. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.

36、s 3.1Various levels of shielding performance can be achieved depending upon the construction of the cabinet or subrack. Although shielding performance measurements are of limited value in predicting the final overall system performance, consistent measurement techniques are vital to ensure any measu
37、re of repeatability. The aim of this standard is to provide comparable shielding performance testing results from one test laboratory to another (see IEC 61000-4-3). The test result is valid only for cabinets or subracks determined by equal dimensions and contents, for example removable covers, door
38、, etc. The standard should be used for the evaluation of design variations. Test condition 3.2All testing shall be performed in a semi-anechoic or full anechoic chamber or open field test site as illustrated in the figures. When the semi-anechoic chamber or the open field test site is used, the cham
39、ber shall meet the vertical and horizontal site attenuation test described in CISPR 16-1. For the test set-up in the open field or an anechoic chamber, see Figures 3 to 8. Test configuration 3.3Calibration of the reference antenna 3.3.1The purpose of calibration is to check the characteristics of th
40、e reference antenna, which is the output level of a transmitting antenna and the sensitivity level of a receiving antenna. The test shall be performed by setting the transmitting antenna facing the receiving antenna. The direction of the transmitting antenna is at 0 and the radiated field strength i
41、s maximum. The height of the transmitting antenna shall be set at 1,1 m. The receiving antenna shall be positioned 1 m high and 3 m in distance from the transmitting antenna. The frequency is 100 MHz and 500 MHz. Calibration shall be made using both horizontal and vertical antenna polarities. Transm
42、itting antenna 3.3.2The transmitting source shall be a Spherical Dipole Antenna (SDA) see Annex A or similar (see Note 1 in Table 1). The size of the transmitting antenna should be equal or smaller than 150 mm in diameter. The equivalency to the SDA should be evaluated by an analysis of the radiatio
43、n pattern of the alternative antenna. Annex A illustrates the application of a spherical dipole antenna (SDA). It is necessary to confirm whether sufficient power level of the transmitting antenna can be ensured. The transmitting antenna should be connected to the sender equipment located in outside
44、 of the test specimen without affecting the shielding integrity of the test specimen. The distance of the transmitting antenna to the metal wall of the enclosure should be at least the diameter of the spherical antenna. The dynamic range of the measuring equipment should be determined with the appro
45、priate level above the expected attenuation level as shown in Table 1. Receiving antenna 3.3.3The receiving antenna shall be one of the following types: BS EN 61587-3:201361587-3 IEC:2013 7 30 MHz to 200(300) MHz biconical antenna; 200(300) MHz to 1 000 MHz log periodic antenna. The change from bico
46、nical to the log periodic may be at 200 MHz or 300 MHz (see Note 1 in Table 1). Alternatively, a combined biconical/logarithmic-periodic antenna for the whole frequency range up to 1 000 MHz may be used. For the frequency range 1 000 MHz to 3 000 MHz, horn antennas should be used. Reference measurem
47、ent 3.3.4Reference measurements E1(dBV) are made without the test specimen. The transmitting antenna shall be placed at the position in which it will be once the test specimen is present. The transmitting antenna shall be positioned at 3 m distance from the receiving antenna and the two antennas sha
48、ll face each other in the same direction as that of the calibration. Measurements shall use both horizontal and vertical polarities. Transmitting and receiving antenna shall be polarized in the same manner. Frequency sweeps shall be in increments of not greater than 5 MHz between 30 MHz and 3 000 MH
49、z. The receiving antenna shall be swept through heights of 1 m to 4 m. The greatest signal strength E1for each frequency shall be recorded (see Figures 3 and 6). Transmitting antenna set-up 3.3.5The transmitting antenna shall be placed in the centre inside the test specimen in the same direction as that of the reference measurement and suspended by non-conductive material (see Note 1 in Table 1). Test specimen set-up 3.3.6In the case of a floor-standing cabinet, there shal
