4.1.1 Frequency range 148,5 kHz to 30 MHz (terminal voltages)
NOTE The World Administrative Radiocommunications Conference (WARC) has in 1979 reduced the lower
frequency limit in Region 1 to 148,5 kHz; for applications falling in the scope of this standard, tests at 150 kHz are
considered adequate, since 148,5 kHz falls within the receiver bandwidth.
The limits of the terminal disturbance voltages are given in Table 1. Terminal voltages are
measured, in accordance with Clause 5, on each terminal with respect to ground.
Terminals are defined as conductive parts, suitable for re-usable electrical connection to
external circuits.
4.1.1.1 The limits in columns 2 and 3 shall be met on the phase(s) and the neutral of the
mains terminals of all appliances except those of electric tools.
4.1.1.2 On additional terminals of appliances as well as on load and additional terminals of
regulating controls incorporating semiconductor devices the relaxed limits given for "additional
terminals" in columns 4 and 5 apply.
Terminals which may be used as either mains terminals or load/additional terminals are
subject to the limits for mains terminals.
No terminal voltage limits apply for leads, which are not easily extensible by the user
(permanently connected, or provided with a specific connector), which are shorter than 2 m,
and which connect the equipment with an auxiliary apparatus or device, (e.g. semiconductor
speed controls, power plugs with AC-DC converters).
No terminal voltage limits apply to leads integrated in the suction hose of vacuum cleaners,
even if the length exceeds 2 m.
NOTE For the measurement at the load terminals and additional terminals of regulating controls incorporating semiconductor devices see 5.2.4, for additional terminals of other appliances see 5.2.3.
4.1.1.3 For the mains terminals of electric tools the particular limits given in columns 6 to 11
apply according to the rated power of the motor, the power of any heating device is to be
excluded (for instance heating power in a blower for plastic welding). For the load terminals
and additional terminals of electric tools, columns 4 and 5 apply without further relaxation.
