4 General
4.1 Classes of measurement
For each parameter measured, two classes, A and 5, are defined in this standard. For each class, measurement methods and appropriate performance requirements are included.
— Class A
This class is used where precise measurements are necessary, for example, for contractual applications that may require resolving disputes, verifying compliance with standards. etc. Any measurements of a parameter carried out with two different instruments complying with the requirements of Class A. when measuring the same signals, will produce matching results within the specified uncertainty for that parameter.
NOTE 1 Class A measurements produce matching results Only if the user-selected parameters (thresholds.
hysteresis, etc.) match.
— Class S
This class is used for statistical applications such as surveys or power quality assessment, possibly with a limited subset of parameters. Although it uses equivalent intervals of measurement as Class A, the Class S processing requirements are much lower. Some surveys may assess power quality parameters of several measurement sites on a network; other surveys assess power quality parameters at a single site over a period of time, or at locations within a building or even within a single large piece of equipment.
— Class B
For Class B information, see Annex E (informative) of this standard. Class B methods shall not be employed for new instruments. Class B is moved to Annex E on the basis that all new instrument designs will comply with either Class A or Class S. Class B may be relevant for legacy instruments that are still in use. Class B may be removed in the next edition of this standard.
NOTE 2 Class B measurement methods will provide useful but not necessarily comparable information. Class B was introduced in IEC 610004-30:2003 (edition 1) specifically to avoid making older instrument designs obsolete. IEC 61000-4-30:2008 (edition 2) warned that Class B may be removed In a future edition of this standard, IEC 61000-4-30;— (this edition 3) warns again that Class B may be removed in a future edition, and moves Class B to Informative Annex E.
NOTE 3 In this standard. A stands for Advanced, and S stands for “Surveys.
Users shall select the class that they require, based on their application(s). For troubleshooting applications, depending on the type of problem either Class A or Class S methods may be selected by the user.
The instrument manufacturer should declare influence quantities which are not expressly given and which may degrade performance of the Instrument.
An instrument may measure some or all of the parameters identified in this standard, and preferably uses the same class for all parameters. For guidance, see IEC 62586-1 and
IEC 62586-2.
The instrument manufacturer shall declare which parameters are measured, which class is used for each parameter, the range of Udjfl for which each class is fulfilled, and all the necessary requirements and accessories (synchronization, probes, calibration period. temperature ranges, etc.) to meet each class.IEC 61000-4-30 pdf download.
