IEC 61000-4-3 EMC Immunity Testing for Proximity Wireless Power Transfer
The IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) Standard 61000-4-3 specifies the methods of testing and design requirements to ensure that electrical and electronic equipment can function correctly under electromagnetic interference. This standard is particularly crucial in industries where wireless power transfer technologies are employed, such as proximity-based systems used in consumer electronics and medical devices.
Proximity Wireless Power Transfer (PWPT) systems allow for the transfer of energy between devices without direct electrical contact through near-field coupling. These systems are widely used in applications like mobile phone charging pads, smartwatches, and implantable medical devices. Ensuring that these systems meet EMC immunity standards is critical to ensure their reliability and safety.
EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) testing focuses on the ability of a device to function correctly in its electromagnetic environment without causing harmful interference to other devices. The IEC 61000-4-3 standard defines specific test procedures for immunity, which are essential for PWPT systems.

Scope and Methodology
The scope of IEC 61000-4-3 EMC Immunity Testing for Proximity Wireless Power Transfer is broad, encompassing a range of electromagnetic interference (EMI) sources that could potentially affect the performance of PWPT systems. The testing process involves subjecting your device to various types of EMI, including radiated and conducted emissions, as well as transient disturbances.
- Radiated Emissions: Testing includes exposure to various frequency bands (HF, VHF, UHF) to ensure that the PWPT system does not emit excessive levels of electromagnetic radiation.
- Conducted Emissions: This involves assessing the conducted emissions through cables and wires connected to your device. Compliance with these limits ensures that the PWPT system does not interfere with other devices via conductive pathways.
- Transients: Transient disturbances, such as surge currents or voltage spikes, are simulated using transient generators. These tests assess the robustness of the PWPT system in real-world environments where sudden changes in electrical conditions may occur.
The methodology for conducting these tests is based on internationally recognized standards, including IEC 61000-4-3 and ISO/IEC 80004-2. Our laboratory follows a structured approach to ensure that all aspects of the standard are met accurately and comprehensively.
Our testing process involves several key steps: initial consultation, specimen preparation, test setup, execution, and reporting. Each step is meticulously planned and executed by our experienced team of engineers. We provide detailed reports that outline the results of each test and any recommendations for improvement if necessary.
