IEC Releases the Redline Version of IEC 62153-4-6 for Metallic Cables and Other Passive Components Test Methods

Untitled-2

The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) has released IEC 62153-4-6:2017 RLV for metallic cables and other passive components test methods, specifically “Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) Surface transfer impedance – line injection method”. This redline version of the standard identifies changes from previous editions and is now available on the IEC webstore.

Description: “IEC 62153-4-6:2017 determines the screening effectiveness of a shielded metallic communication cable by applying a well-defined current and voltage to the screen of the cable and measuring the induced voltage in order to determine the surface transfer impedance.
Measurements in the frequency range from a few kHz up to and above 1 GHz can be made with the use of normal high frequency instrumentation.

Mastering High Voltage: The Importance of Accurate Test Equipment

This whitepaper underscores that precise calibration of high-voltage test gear — especially when measuring 1 kV–150 kV systems — is essential for safety, reliability, and regulatory compliance. It details measurement techniques (voltage dividers, step-down transformers, etc.), the impact of environmental and connection factors on accuracy, and why traceable calibration (e.g. to NIST / A2LA) is a must to ensure consistent, reliable results.
